someone, who would like to, we can highly recommend our guide Abebe. We have had organized our trip If someone of you would like to visit Ethiopia, what we can really recommend, or if someone knows - this directly by Abebe. Have expected a lot and have got much more. We thank Abebe, and also his driver tomy, for absolute reliability, heartiness, and especially for the many little extras, such as for instance the club visit in Bahir Dar, Gondar,Siman mountain,Lalibela and Axum Each of my recent trips were impressive trip topped it all!
