First time Ethiopia, first time Africa.
And what a marvelous experience it was. We wanted to get north to visit the school of our small sponsoringprogram in Adwa, but didn't want to follow the historic route all the way and wished to do a short trekking in the Simien Mountains. It has become his trademark by now, but we were very grateful for Gedion's flexibility, advice and knowledge of his country and her people. So he proposed and adapted an itinerary, tailored to our needs. In other words, he is the perfect guide/driver: cautious with the car, speaks English very well, arranges hotels for any budget, knows local guides, has good taste of music and - not to be underestimated - humor ...
The variety of Ethiopia is endless: the scenery, the people, the culture... But in all that variety there's the common thread of beauty, kindness, and happiness.
Unforgettable, can't wait to go back!
