 Exerts taken from the highly recommended guide book published by Lonely Planet: "Ethiopia & Eritrea.

Please note: that this is the first time we are going to Ethiopia, however, as the tour is being guided in Hebrew by Eti Dayan;

 the world re-known Israeli guide of Africa, with over 30 years of experience : 

We are sure that we are that we have the best and most experienced guide of the region.

This tour is unique as it 's for 16 nights and 17 days.
We have included the famous site of Aksum and a full day of touring in Gondar.
The tour includes: 5 domestic flights and   3 passengers per 4 x 4 vehicle in the south.
Very important! We don't sleep at camp sites in tents , but at  lodges in the south (on normal beds with private bathrooms) .
Where ever possible with have improved the standard of the hotels that tours normally stay at!
Keeping that in mind the standard in Ethiopia is well below the standard at home.
 

Please note: The order of the daily program might change according to the domestic flight.

Also you must note that changes might be made to the program, as traveling in Ethiopia is not the same as traveling at home.

The level of service is some what lower than we are used to and a lot of patience is called for.
