Polleke Mandy Post Count: 6 Msg: #1 455 days ago, August 25th 2008 | Hello world! | Next year (april) I am leaving the Netherlands to travel to Ethiopia!! Yeah map of Ethiopia hanging on my wall, LP read in-side-out and tickets booked!! Fun part: making my route is started! I am going for one month, with backpack and photo camera, and looking for tips: is it ok to hire a car there or can i do this month by bus? Is it ok to hire a local guide? Nice places to sleep, things i must eat. I would like to go to the Danakil desert, can it be arranged for a day trip? ....things like that... Maybe there are other people with same plans and want to hook up somewhere, share a car etc.?! Let me know! Bye bye <snip> [Edited: 20:20 - Mell - Removed URL]  Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #2 455 days ago, August 25th 2008 | Hello Mandy :) | To find somebody to hook up with, you could try posting in the following forum.

Danakil desert - need a few days+ car+driver and guard I personally loved the food but some friends didn't and so ate pasta most of the time, expect to get ill, think i had every possible illness going by the end of it. Places that you have to go to: Harar Omo valley Gondor / Simian Mountains Bale Mountains Try not to plan to pack to much in as things will always fck up...nature of Ethiopia Pls email back with any other questions...home time :) MichaelOD Michael O'Donnell Post Count: 3 Msg: #4 272 days ago, February 24th 2009 | Just one tip: stay away from Ghion Travel and Tours, Addis Ababa. | Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
