Day trip to Addis Abeba is only 100 kilometres:

• Hand crafts
• Sights and Landmarks
• Football (soccer) games

The above is simply a preliminary schedule and could be customized to include any item of interest or a longer duration. For example the trip to Axum is 500 kilometres so would be a 3 or 4 day excursion. Alternatively overnighting in an original local village in the ‘jungle place’ can be arranged complete with donkey transport to and from. If you wish a fresh goat can be provided and you are welcome to help in food preparation.

This is a family run business. The family is large and there would be someone with reasonable English with the guest 100% of the time both to provide information and for your comfort and security. One daughter is a nurse thus providing added assurance to a guest.

Offered are many traditional meals cooked in their own kitchen as well as the offer to accompany the guests to some very good local restaurants offering western meals. Evenings could also include visits to a variety of pubs and bars as well as dance spots.

Video of the entire trip can be provided for a small additional charge.
