Looking for travel partner(s) for Ethiopia in February 2025

ThamarParis · 2024-11-04

Hi everyone. I’m 62, in pretty good shape, and looking for 1 or 2 travel partners to share the fixed costs of a tour agency (vehicle, guide, driver, etc.) for what I hope will be a legendary trip to Ethiopia, ideally departing in mid-February 2025. Trip duration: 22 to 24 days. The itinerary covers all the country’s highlights in optimized safety conditions (hence using a specialized agency). The estimated budget is 5000 to 6000 € per person. I’m very independent and prefer a "private room". As you’ve probably gathered, I’m looking for a situational partnership to minimize costs—I’m not specifically searching for new friends or anything more. That said, I’d love to find one or more travel companions who are easy to communicate and get along with. Thanks for your attention!

Hello everyone. I'm 62 years old and in pretty good shape. To share the fixed costs of an agency (vehicle, guide, driver, etc.), I'm looking for 1 or 2 partners for a trip—I hope it'll be legendary—to Ethiopia, with a preferred departure in mid-February 2025. Trip duration: between 22 and 24 days. The itinerary covers all the country's highlights in optimized safety conditions (hence using a specialized agency). The expected budget would be 5,000 to 6,000 € per person. I have a very independent personality and prefer a "private room". As you’ve probably gathered, I’m looking for a situational partnership to minimize costs. I’m not specifically looking for new friends or anything like that. However, I’d like to find one or more travel companions with whom communication and getting along would be easy. Thanks for your attention.

This link works! Same goal: we’re two women (70 years old, in good shape) used to traveling alone. For this trip to Ethiopia, we’re looking for 2 co-travelers to share the costs of vehicle/driver/guide. As for me, my budget doesn’t allow for 5,000 €, and (for personal reasons) I can’t stay longer than 18 days on-site (20 days including round-trip travel). Have you chosen the agency (or guide) you’ll be traveling with? I’d be happy to hear about the itinerary you’ve planned, if you’d like to share. We’re at this stage: selecting the places to visit. Thanks! Have a lovely afternoon! ☀️ Annick

Yes, I’ve chosen the agency, but the itinerary remains flexible. I’m also used to traveling solo, but I think Ethiopia requires some structure. I can send you a draft itinerary if you give me an email or a WhatsApp number. I also live in Paris, by the way.

See you soon! !

Hi there, I’m heading to Ethiopia next year. I just read your post. I’m also traveling solo. Hope you had a great trip! Do you have a good excursion guide to recommend? Thanks for any info!
