I am heading to Ethiopia in January 2010 for ~2.5 weeks. In addition to visiting a friend in Addis Ababa, and traveling with her to the north, I plan on doing a 7-10 day wildlife/culture safari to the southern rift valley / omo valley on my own (ideally with a small group, to save on costs).
I would appreciate any advice regarding a reputable tour group / safari company. Thanks!

Hi Monkey
I don't recall seeing any reports on this site about southern Ethiopia. But maybe someone will surprise us.
I was in Addis in 2008, and will likely return next year.
I haven't made it to the south yet, but I did bookmark this website for a travel company that does "eco tours" in that region.

They should be able to help.
Happy planning!

Very exciting travel monkey!
Ethiopia Safaris are only done by very few safari Companies in Kenya.They normally hire some individuals / tour Guides from this area one of them who took me on Northern Kenya and Ethiopia safari is MR ABDIRIZAK MOHAMED + 0728 22 41 97 OR EMAIL MAABDIRIZAK55@YAHOO.COM
He is very good and knows the way from Kenya (Chalbi desert / North Horr to Ethiopia.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the recommendations. I booked my plane ticket today. I'll be sure to post a trip report when I get back.
