EthioGuzo Tour and Travel

On September 30, I returned from leading a tour to Somaliland, a region with a stable government yet not recognized as a country. The area hosts amazing landscapes, great for nature hikes, birding, camel treks and exploring newly discovered 5000 year old cave paintings that are said to be some of the best in Africa. I found the food, (mostly rice, goat and camel meat, water melon, orange juice and tea with milk) to be very good.

In August/September 2011, EthioGuzo hosted Canadian naturalist, Brian Keating (www.goingwild.org/biography.html) and his wife Dee Keating on a nature tour of the Simien and Bale Mountains National Parks. Brian broadcast live by satellite radio to Canada and Northwest USA from the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia on August 29. His shows on Ethiopia can be listened to at http://www.cbc.ca/homestretch/columnists/wildlife/2011/08/29/hiking-in-ethiopia/.

In 2011, EthioGuzo added 3 new landcruisers and 1 Toyota 23-seater coasterbus to its fleet of vehicles.

In 2011 we welcomed two new tour leaders, Minalu and Fekadu to our team (see our staff).

New interesting routes into south Omo and Somaliland are now possible with EthioGuzo. Contact us for details.
