We're recently back from a month in Ethiopia - Addis, Bahar Dar, Gondar, Axum, Adwa, Lalibela and Harar. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Not sure how much you want to write. My family will be doing the same trip except Adwa. At this point i plan to make all bookings myself and if i need guides hire on the spot. Any advice on this? In all but Adwa any accomodation suggestions? We want clean but budget. Did you do Gondar to Axum by road? If so what kind of transport?
Thanks

Hi BlueKa,

thank you for offering to answer our questions.
I would be interested in how you did the trip, fly, private car or public transport? Also, did you use guides in the places you visited? if so, did you like having a guide? How much you paid for the trip (Transport, hotels, guides?)?
Thank you in advance
LizaD

Hi, we are thinking about going to Ethiopia. But people tell us that it is difficult and dangerous to travel alone. I am not affraid of the difficulties (it will not be our first trip), but more of the dangers. And we don't like to travel by groups. How did you travel over there?

Thanks!

Not difficult, not dangerous. Most of the people posting here traveled alone--and at least you have a "we" to travel with. :)
