Bradt Guides is one of the world’s leading travel publishers – we’ve been producing pioneering guides to exceptional places since 1974 – now offering more than 200 travel and wildlife titles.
Our readers are well-educated, adventurous and mature, and enjoy wildlife, adventure, and experiencing local culture. Bradt Guides are published as print books and e-books, and are frequently recommended by tour operators, press, embassies, tourist offices and more.
In recent years we have seen higher sales growth than any other guidebook publisher in the UK, and regularly receive accolades for our guidebooks.
Bradt has received many awards from organisations including The Sunday Times, Which? magazine, Wanderlust magazine and the British Guild of Travel Writers. We were voted 2019 Top Guidebook Series in the Wanderlust Travel Awards (beating Lonely Planet and DK into 2nd and 3rd places). We are the only guidebook publisher ever to win all three of the industry’s major guidebook awards in the same year.
‘Bradt Guides are expertly written and longer on local detail than any others’

Testimonials
Emma Durkin
Regent Holidays
“Last year we converted 55% of the enquiries credited to Bradt into bookings. Our advertising messages not only form the basis of enquiry, but also help to build the presnce of our brand.
Patrick Shah
Journeys Discovering Africa
“Our half page colour ad in the Uganda Bradt Guide cost us less than £500. It resulted in a booking of over £100,000 from a family in the United States, who had read the guide cover to cover. Our best-ever return on advertising investment!”
Gerard “Ged” Caddick
