Reisgids Socotra | Bradt Travel Guides
Bradt slaagt er weer in om een unieke reisgids uit tegeven; Socotra, een voor velen totaal onbekend eiland  voor de kust van Somalie, Yemen en Oman. Uniek in veel opzichten en vrijwel onbereikbaar. Maar tegelijk een droom voor veel reizigers! The new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt’s Socotra remains the first and only guide available to the largest of the four islands that make up the Socotra Archipelago in the Arabian Sea, 390 km offshore from their mother land, Yemen. A UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site packed with dramatically varied and essentially undisturbed landscapes (mountains, forest, ravines, sand-dunes, beaches, caves…), Socotra is unique. Sometimes known as ‘The Galapagos of the Indian Ocean’, the archipelago has an exceptionally large number of species found nowhere else in the world (‘endemic’) in an area barely the size of Wiltshire. Accordingly, wildlife-watchers love Socotra: of 220 bird species recorded, 11 are endemic, while more than 300 plant species…

Reisgids Vietnam | Bradt Travel Guides
Reisgids Vietnam | Bradt Travel Guides
Brand new from Bradt is Vietnam, a travel guidebook celebrating this fascinating southeast Asian country, which combines 2,000 miles of coastline – complete with idyllic islands, golden beaches and fishing villages – with tropical rainforests, vibrant cities, stunning inland waterways, thousand-year-old temples, terraced paddy fields, herb-infused street food and a richly varied history. Little wonder that the country is increasingly on the wish list of discerning, independent travellers.   Here you can cruise among the karst islands of Ha Long Bay, explore the forested mountains of the Central Highlands, go underground into the caves of Phong Nha or visit the tribal villages of Kon Tum. Alternatively, why not experience the French-style boulevards of Hanoi, the cobblestone streets of Hoi An or neighbourhood floating markets?     Written by a long-term resident, Bradt’s Vietnam not only covers the key tourist sites but casts a wider net to encompass lesser-explored alternatives and ge…

Reisgids Hokkaido | Bradt Travel Guides
New from Bradt is the first ever, standalone English-language guide to Hokkaid, Japan’s second-largest island and northernmost prefecture. Home to under 5% of the country’s population, this is a land of vast, wild expanses that demands exploration at any time of year – and feels a world away from Tokyo. Penned by an outdoors-loving travel writer resident in Japan, Bradt’s Hokkaid delves far deeper into this frontier land than country-wide guidebooks can possibly do. Author Tom Fay provides detailed coverage of the island’s history, unique wildlife, local food, the Ainu (indigenous people), outdoor activities, skiing logistics, hiking courses and the practicalities of visiting in winter, when deep snow carpets the ground and the sea turns to ice.   Hokkaid’s varied landscapes include remote mountain ranges, fertile lowland plains, sweeping forests and enormous wetlands home to rare birds and other wildlife. Even for the Japanese, Hokkaid has a somewhat wild and exotic aura – place name…

Productomschrijving

Bradt slaagt er weer in om een unieke reisgids uit tegeven; Socotra, een voor velen totaal onbekend eiland  voor de kust van Somalie, Yemen en Oman. Uniek in veel opzichten en vrijwel onbereikbaar. Maar tegelijk een droom voor veel reizigers!

The new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt’s Socotra remains the first and only guide available to the largest of the four islands that make up the Socotra Archipelago in the Arabian Sea, 390 km offshore from their mother land, Yemen.

A UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site packed with dramatically varied and essentially undisturbed landscapes (mountains, forest, ravines, sand-dunes, beaches, caves…), Socotra is unique. Sometimes known as ‘The Galapagos of the Indian Ocean’, the archipelago has an exceptionally large number of species found nowhere else in the world (‘endemic’) in an area barely the size of Wiltshire. Accordingly, wildlife-watchers love Socotra: of 220 bird species recorded, 11 are endemic, while more than 300 plant species are endemic, as are all the land snails, 90% of reptiles and about 60% of spiders.

Socotra offers much to fascinate the adventurous traveller. Visitors may snorkel from boats or pristine beaches; camel-trek into mountains formed by volcanic activity; gawp at bizarre plants – dragon blood trees that resemble huge, fuzzy-topped umbrellas and giant desert roses; engage with Socotra's rich history, which stretches back to the Stone Age and includes ancient cave art; and lunch at delightful fishing villages.

Bradt’s full-colour guide covers everything needed for a successful visit, including pre-departure planning, getting there, tour operators, where to stay and what to see. Background information on history, people, language and culture is followed by an easy-to-follow geographical breakdown covering all parts of the island, from the capital Hadiboh to Ayhaft Canyon National Park, Qaria lagoon, Rosh Marine Nature Sanctuary, Homhil Nature Sanctuary, Terbak village, Hoq Cave, Qalansiyah, Diksam plateau and Firmihin Forest.

To preserve its fragile environments, the recent growth in tourism – enabled by recent improvements in transport links and resulting in expansion of tourist infrastructure – is being handled with extreme care. Strict regulations are in force to preserve the island's natural heritage and nearly three-quarters has protected status. This pristine and relatively unknown little island, so full of natural treasures, may be on the brink of a very different future. Responsible tourism is paramount, so let Bradt’s Socotra be your guide to this captivating island.
