BACKPACKERS AND WILD ROVERS GOES TO ETHIOPIA!

By popular request, we have decided to open a twin to our Kenyan operation, to be based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The new set-up will be operational by July this year, (2007).

We will also be running trips between the hostel in Nairobi and the one in Addis.

For those of you who already know our home away from home policy, you will be pleased to know that we intend to run exactly the same system in Ethiopia and will be offering the same in-house tour system there, to visit the Omo Valley, the historic route of the north, the Simien Mountains and much more.

Having lived and worked in Ethiopia for 4 years, I have a good knowledge of the place and the people and will be basing myself there during the early months after opening.

Anyone interested in visiting Ethiopia this summer, contact us for further information or reservations. A more detailed report will be posted later.
