<p> My friend and I ( both semiretired, well travelled, active ladies) are planning to visit Ethiopia in the spring 2015. We are interested in historical/archeological parts but also like to see Omo Valley. We like moderate comfort in the hotels though ( cleanliness of rooms, aircondition, WIFI) and small group travel . Can anyone reccomend good reliable travel Agency either in the US or local in Ethipia ? Any suggestiins are aprreciated..</p>

There are some good companies
There are some good companies that have itineraries for Ethiopia that are reasonable in cost: Canadian companies: Eldertreks and G-Adventures;British companies: Explore and Rainbow Tours;Australian: Peregrine Adventures.When I traveled to Ethiopia a few years ago, I did the northern/historic route with Explore but since there were no corresponding trips to the Omo Valley at that time, I arranged with Travel Ethiopia (www.travelethiopia.com), based in Addis Ababa for a custom tour. They were excellent! The guide was well-experienced, spoke several of the Omotic languages. I have since recommended them to others, who have also been pleased with them.

Ethiopia with Patrick Syder of the UK
Patrick never takes more rthan 10-12 travelers and goes on most trips himself. I did his Ethiopia trip a few years ago and it was excellent regarding the itinrerary, accomodations and local guides. I highly recommend his Ethiopia trip if it is offered in 2014 or 2015. Check out Patrick Snyder Travel on your computer.
Ethipia
Thank you Pinky very much.How much time did you spent in north vs south area ? We are intersted more in the old culture, archeology and traditions rather then animals, parks and pure scenery..
