Comprehensive background information and full details of "new" off-the-beaten-track locations--like the highlands of the Guassa Plateau, refuge to the endangered Ethiopian wolf--make this the essential guide to a country full of surprises.

*National parks and mountain regions
*Detailed information on culture, history, and wildlife
*Where to stay and what to eat

Great Guide!
This book has it all. It gives history, culture and information as you travel through this country. It is easy to reference and interesting to read. A great value!
Extremely useful, and a great read.
This travel guide was a wonderful addition to our trip. We were able to use it to plan out trip in advance, as well as alter our plans along the way (which happened quite frequently!). It was also fun simply as pleasure reading during car rides and during "down time." His advice on language was concise and very useful, and his perspective on cultural difference was excellent and refreshingly candid, without any hint of paternalism. Most significantly, Ethiopians we encountered vouched for the author's depth of knowledge: more than once, our new friends pointed at the book and said, "He really got to know the places--the hotels and restaurants-- that he visited." This book was a wonderful addition to a spectacular trip: Visit Ethiopia, and take this book!
very thorough
A lot of detail. Have not read too much yet. We will be traveling to Ehiopia in early 2008 to pick up our adopted son. Plan to read much more before the trip. Wish there were a few more photos.
