Exceptional 10-day trip in Ethiopia - Thanks to Asgedom I had an unforgetable 10-day trip to Ethiopia. Since the start, the communication via email and later Whatsapp was fast and clear. I reached out to several local agencies and Gelila convinced me with the best itinerary and value for money. My visit included: - Axum - The rocky churches of Tigray - Danakil depression and Ertale Volcano - Libella and - Addis Ababa. At every destination there was a guide and driver waiting for me at the airport. As a solo female travel I always felt safe. I am convinced that Asgedom only works with the best local guides and drivers available. During my trip, I learned a lot about the country, its history and had the chance to interact with the locals. The restaurants chosen and the "dinning" provided in the desert was of very good quality, you will always received water when needed. I highly recommend Gelila tours for you trip to Ethiopia.
