AUTHORS: Philip Briggs has been exploring the highways, byways and backwaters of Africa since 1986, when he spent several months backpacking on a shoestring from Nairobi to Cape Town, and first visited Tanzania, bussing from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam then catching the Tazara Railway to Zambia. He has returned to Tanzania numerous times, spending nearly two years in country, including to research and author the first Bradt guide to Tanzania in 1992/3, as well as all subsequent editions. Tanzania aside, he has visited over two dozen African countries and written about most for travel and wildlife magazines, including BBC Wildlife, Travel Africa and Wanderlust, and in ten other Bradt guidebooks, including East Africa Wildlife. He spends at least four months on the road every year, usually accompanied by his wife, travel photographer Ariadne Van Zandbergen, and spends his rest of the time in the sleepy South African village of Wilderness. Chris McIntyre went to Africa in 1987, after reading Physics at Queens College, Oxford. He taught with VSO in Zimbabwe for almost three years and travelled extensively, before writing his first guidebook (Bradts guide to Namibia and Botswana) in 1990. He has since written all Bradts guides to Namibia, Botswana and Zambia - and co-authors (with his wife, Susan) Bradts guide to Zanzibar and (with Philip Briggs) Bradts guides to Tanzania.
