Bio
Sean Connolly (seanconnolly.me) was poring over maps before he could read them and first travelled to Africa as a student in 2008. Ever since, he has been returning to the continent regularly to research, teach or simply soak up the ambiance in Africa’s countless little-visited corners. He has been working with Bradt Guides since 2011. Connolly has written Bradt’s Senegal and Mauritania guidebooks, and also updated or contributed to the Bradt guides to Somaliland, Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana, Uruguay, Sierra Leone, São Tomé & Príncipe, Rwanda and Gabon. When he’s not updating guides, leading tours, or discussing the many merits of camel meat, you’ll find Connolly seeking out a country’s funkiest records or dodging Copenhagen’s raindrops.
