All Visitors Love Their Private Tours Of Ethiopia

By Jeannie Chapman


Saving for that special holiday throughout the year and making sacrifices will all be worth it when you plan your private tours of Ethiopia for your holiday. It is possible to organize your own tours but there are so many specialists in the travel industry. They will provide personal service and respected, impartial advice so that you can make an informed decision about your individual holiday.

Some tours do not include Ethiopian visas (issued on arrival), gratuities, additional sightseeing and transfers they will be able to advise you on everything you need to know before you leave. You can tell them of your ideas and plans and they will talk you through them all. By the time you are ready to take off everything will be in place for a journey of a lifetime.

A lot of homework goes into planning a holiday and there is such a variety of tours on offer. You can organize a group of friends to travel together, go on your own or with your family. Deciding how much of the country you want to see will determine whether you choose a four day tour or a sixteen day excursion. Whether you only want to see the historical sites or spend time going to the National Parks and visiting the ancient and famous Rock Churches.

A private tour planned by your travel agent may be the best option. They know the most popular sites to visit and get feedback from holidaymakers on their return from their trips. They will be able to advise on the do's and don'ts of things like tipping, which areas to avoid and what to expect when you go and explore the Merkato district, the largest market in Africa.

Moving on from nature to history where you can visit Gondor's imperial seat. It is where you can see the amazing Imperial Compound with all of its Fasilidas castles. One would be wise to have comfortable shoes that will withstand all the walking you are sure to do as you travel from one site to the other. Road transport is likely to consist of buses and 4 x 4 vehicles, and frequent flights to places not suited to road travel.

One of the highlights of this trip should be the one of the largest natural attractions in the world - the Danakil Depression. It is a sight to behold and one could almost imagine you were on the moon or another planet. It is said to be the hottest place on earth and disks of travertine, calcium rich deposit form rings around this hot spring.

For Wildlife enthusiasts and birders a trip to the high-lying Plateau of Sanetti will reveal the rarest canid in the world and the Simean wolf which are very easy to spot. Birding itineraries are included because this is the finest place to see the endemics such as Africa's only real goose, the spot breasted lapwing, as well as Rouget's rail. What a keen birder had only seen in books or on television before will enthrall them in real life.

There is something for everyone and so much to choose from, private tours of Ethiopia will leave you enriched and fascinated with this country. When you are sitting around with friends and family back home and sharing photographs and stories they too may want to experience a trip to this captivating land. You will be able to give them advice and tips on having their own awesome journey.
