Lonely Planet Tanzania

Mary Fitzpatrick After completing graduate studies in Washington, DC, her home town, Mary set off for several years' work in Europe. Her fascination with languages and cultures soon led her further south to Africa, where she lived for six years, working first on development projects in Mozambique, and later as a freelance writer in Liberia and Sierra Leone. In between, Mary has travelled in more than 70 countries, including spending many months in Tanzania working, and a few months studying Swahili. Elsewhere, her journeys have taken her on foot through remote Malagasy villages, on rickety pick-ups along dusty roads in the Sahel, by dhow to palm-fringed East African islands, and on bicycle through Tibet and South-West China. She speaks several languages and dabbles in many more. Mary has authored and coauthored numerous Africa titles for Lonely Planet, including Mozambique, Madagascar, East Africa, Southern Africa, West Africa, Africa on a shoestring and Read This First: Africa.Fitzpatrick, Mary is the author of 'Lonely Planet Tanzania', published 2002 under ISBN 9781740590464 and ISBN 1740590465.
