I'm actually born in poland, and I think you too, judging by your name. I, wanted to know if on month is enaugh time to visit ethiopia, if I plan on taking the bus? And also is it safe to travel alone? Is it easy to meet other backpackers?..young people? How much does transportation cost? Any other advice? Thanks for your time by the way, this kind of help on ethiopia is very difficult to find on the internet. --- Filip Reply    Reply with quote    Contact smoothfil   vadskaer Joined: Nov 05 Points: 66 Posts: 4 Posted: 2005-11-04 12:55:00    There is plenty of accomodation in Axum. Less in Lalibela. Buses in Ethiopia are very slow. However, at least the law says that you cannot stand up in the buses so the rides aren't that uncomfortable. Unfortunately Ethiopians hate to have the windows open so you're boiling inside the buses. Domestic flights with Ethiopian Airlines are very cheap though. I wouldn't bother with buses. If you're interested in trekking in the Simien mountains, I've collected a little info on www.afritreks.com Reply    Reply with quote    Contact vadskaer   Page: 1 2
