点评:Unforgettable trip to Ethiopia Jan./Feb.24 with Solayke and Tedi
We spent 3 fantastic weeks in Ethiopia. Booked through Arto Tour with Solayke and our driver Tedi. We booked the trip via WhatsApp. I was a little unsure at first as we didn't know the contact. We were picked up by the two of them at the airport in Addis and we knew straight away that they would be a perfect match for us. The Addis market is very worthwhile and a good place to start. From there we travelled to Arbaminch, other places were Adana, Jinka, Turmi, the Omo Valley, Awash Valley, Harar, Semera, the Afrera Salt Lake, Dallol Crater, Erta Ale etc.
We visited among others the tribes of Dorze, Konso, Hamar, Banna, Mursi, Ari, Kara, Afar. The different tribes couldn't be more different. It was so interesting. We always had an additional guide who knew the people, their customs and traditions. Taking photos was never a problem. We were allowed to take part in an incredible ceremony with the Hamar and stay for dinner. On the way I visited various very beautiful and colourful markets, drove past coffee plantations and local communities, shepherds with their cattle, market women and farmers tilling their land. We visited Lake Shalla, Mago NP. and Maze Park. On a boat tour we saw many crocodiles. The whole route (over 5000km) was so varied, colourful and deeply impressive. Everything was perfectly and smoothly organised. The accommodation was good to very comfortable. Solayke puts his whole heart into his work and you could feel that he loves his country and is closely connected with the various tribes and his fellow countrymen. His knowledge of his homeland was very valuable to us. It was very important to him that we felt comfortable. And let's not forget the many wonderful moments during the coffee breaks on the way, where we got in touch with the local inhabitants and were able to have some nice conversations. For me, these stops along the road with the good coffee were always a pleasure. Tedi our driver was simply brilliant, very safe, calm, careful and also made sure that we felt comfortable on our sometimes long journeys. We can recommend this trip to older travellers without hesitation. We are both over 60 and I was even brought a chair at a barbecue at the Hamar so that I didn't have to sit on the floor by the fire.
This great diversity, the impressive nature, the changing landscapes, the lovely people and the professional support, organisation and company of Solayke and Tedi made our trip to Ethiopia an absolute highlight. We will certainly visit Ethiopia again.
Many thanks to Solayke and Tedi for accompanying us as a team and making this unforgettable trip possible.
翻译:1 月/2 月 24 日与 Solayke 和 Tedi 一起前往埃塞俄比亚,度过了难忘的 3 周
我们在埃塞俄比亚度过了美妙的 3 周。通过 Arto Tour 预订了 Solayke 和我们的司机 Tedi。我们通过 WhatsApp 预订了行程。一开始我有点不确定,因为我们不知道联系方式。他们两人在亚的斯机场接我们,我们马上就知道他们非常适合我们。亚的斯市场非常值得一去,是一个很好的起点。从那里我们前往了阿尔巴门奇,其他地方有阿达纳、金卡、图尔米、奥莫山谷、阿瓦什山谷、哈拉尔、塞梅拉、阿弗雷拉盐湖、达洛尔火山口、埃尔塔阿雷等。
我们参观了多尔泽、孔索、哈马尔、班纳、穆尔西、阿里、卡拉、阿法尔等部落。不同的部落千差万别。这太有趣了。我们总是有一位额外的导游,他了解当地人民、他们的习俗和传统。拍照从来都不是问题。我们被允许参加与哈马尔人一起举行的精彩仪式并留下来吃晚餐。在途中,我参观了各种非常美丽和丰富多彩的市场,开车经过咖啡种植园和当地社区、牧羊人和他们的牛、市场妇女和耕种土地的农民。我们参观了沙拉湖、马戈国家公园和迷宫公园。在乘船游览时,我们看到了许多鳄鱼。整个路线(超过 5000 公里)是如此多样、丰富多彩和令人印象深刻。一切都安排得完美而顺利。住宿条件很好,非常舒适。索拉克全身心地投入到工作中,你可以感觉到他热爱他的国家,与各个部落和他的同胞有着密切的联系。他对祖国的了解对我们来说非常宝贵。对他来说,让我们感到舒适非常重要。让我们不要忘记途中咖啡休息期间的许多美好时刻,我们与当地居民取得了联系,并进行了一些愉快的交谈。对我来说,沿途停下来喝杯好咖啡总是一件乐事。我们的司机 Tedi 非常棒,非常安全、冷静、细心,还确保我们在有时漫长的旅途中感到舒适。我们可以毫不犹豫地向年长的旅行者推荐这次旅行。我们都超过 60 岁了,在哈马尔的烧烤会上,他们甚至给我拿了一把椅子,这样我就不必坐在火炉旁的地板上了。
这种巨大的多样性、令人印象深刻的自然风光、不断变化的景观、可爱的人们以及 Solayke 和 Tedi 的专业支持、组织和陪伴,使我们的埃塞俄比亚之行成为绝对的亮点。我们一定会再次访问埃塞俄比亚。
非常感谢 Solayke 和 Tedi 作为一个团队陪伴我们,使这次难忘的旅行成为可能。
