Hi all,
I'm organising a three-and-a-half-week photo trip to Ethiopia some time in the next few weeks. This will take in the rock-hewn structures of Lalibela, the floating churches of Lake Tana, Gondar, Axum, the Danakil Depression, Erta Ale - the world's only permanent lava lake - the holy city of Harar and the Awash National Park. Am looking for travel companions - preferably also interested in photography (hence, posting it here). Dates are flexible at the moment, so chime in if you're interested but have a particular time constraint.
