A really special week in Ethiopia...

When I booked this trip I was disappointed that I would not have time for the southern part of Ethiopia. As it turned out, I did not miss a thing. The itinerary that was put together was demanding but wonderful. It was far greater than expected. I would recommend TravelLocal and their local partners without hesitation. The drivers, guides, hotels, recommended restaurants, etc. were just what we wanted.

What was good about our local experts in Ethiopia?

The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, well spoken, informed, and flexible. We saw all the animals that we hoped to see (didn't get a fox), and more. We paid for lunches and dinner and loved all the recommendations. The hotels were better than the ones that others booked. So was the food. I would love to have this experience in Israel some day in the future.

What could our local experts in Ethiopia improve on?

Take a look at the itinerary. It seems that we had the same church tour at every stop. That is a lot of the same thing. Make sure the customers know to wear shoes that are easy to remove and put back on.

What did you think about the guides or drivers on your trip?

We had a new driver and guide every day due to our itinerary. Didn't think to write down their names. Sometimes it was just us with the driver and even though he was not required to he could get across in English just enough to inform us what we were passing. The guides had very great English.

What advice would you give to other travellers planning a trip to Ethiopia?

Do some research so you know what you want to see. They will not only make sure you see those things, but many others. If you have breathing problems (asthma, pneumonia alergies, COPD) bring your medicine because the air is full of smoke from morning fires and cooking and also lots of dust. Not to mention that you have altitudes from 4,000 to 12,000 feet.

What was the most memorable part of your trip?
