  Ethiopia Djibouti & Somaliland by Lonely Planet

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  The only guide covering Djibouti and the only sensible alternative to the Bradt for Somalia/Somaliland and Ethiopia, this Lonely Planet gives practical and touristic information, interspersed with LP's excellent maps. For this often-troubled region, we would advise taking both the Lonely Planet as well as relevant Bradt Guides (which provide intimate background and Cultural knowledge on top of the Lonely Planet's practicalities).

•

• 

  Kenya by Insight

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  By far the best looking of the Kenyan guides, this lavish guidebook is packed with full-page photographs. Arranged by themes rather than location, for example, history, animals and the safari experience – can be frustrating as the hotel and restaurant listings are bulked together at the back rather than listed by area.

• 

  First-Time Africa by Rough Guides

  Price: £12.99    Add to Basket

  A good general introduction to travel in Africa, including a section on responsible tourism. It would be unnecessary if you have a clear idea of where you want to go, and what you want to do, though.

•

  Pocket-sized guidebook from Eyewitness with wonderful illustrations and photographs.
