I really liked Henry Stedman's 2nd edition of Kilimanjaro and started looking around for a more safari-centric book on Tanzania. I found it in the Bradt Northern Tanzania
guide. It's great for me because it covers where I will be going, including Zanzibar. As far as that goes, it's an excellent companion to the Stedman book.The book is arranged by destination (Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Zanzibar, etc.) with excellent copy on each. It explains what you are likely to see and when. There are some great maps and a smattering of color photos.
The only real downside: ads. Seriously. I buy the book and there are @#$% ads in it too?! At least two of the full-page ads can be ripped out entirely without hurting the editorial content. I'm tempted to take a Sharpie to the rest of em.
Advertising notwithstanding, it's a great book.
