Planning a trip of this magnitude requires a lot of time and money. Most travel books fail to mention the small, important details that can take the stress out of planning and eliminate the fear of the unknown. This comprehensive planning guide to 4x4 travel through eastern Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia, is based on first-hand travel experience. Introductory chapters give detailed general information and guidance on itineraries, what to take, potential costs, fuel availability, road conditions, security issues, requisite documentation, medical precautions, check lists, bush recipes and more.
This is followed by descriptions of the routes traversed by the author and her party through six countries. Route maps and detailed, sensible advice equip future travellers with all the necessary information required to plan and carry out out a trouble-free trip through the region. 4x4 Travel Guide Eastern Africa has easy, bulleted text and contains numerous photographs and is an invaluable guide for 4x4 explorers to these less-travelled, but hugely rewarding, parts of our continent.
Maureen Day (nee McLelland) was born in Luanshya, Zambia and educated in Rhodesia and South Africa. She qualified as a midwife and psychiatric nurse in 1984 and met and married her husband Brian in 1989. Their love of the outdoors has led to many 4x4 excursions to neighbouring countries and, ultimately, to the adventure of a life time - the subject of 4x4 Travel Guide Eastern Africa.
