Ethiopia has at last been taken off the UK’s redlist. This means that if you have been vaccinated for COVID (in a country whose vaccinations the UK recognises ie: a western country) you can visit Ethiopia and return to the UKL without needing to quarantine.

However the FCDO currently advises against all travel to Amhara Region – but we are hopeful that parts of the region will move from this amber rating to green in the coming weeks.

There is really great news – last night the heavy rain in Wof Washa has finally dowsed the fire and it is put out. In addition there is forecast more rain over the coming week, so the area should be well and truly soaked, which should mean any further outbreaks are unlikely this season.

By:

Mulat – every smiling guide

We have had a lot of holidays here in the last few weeks: Christmas, Gabriel, Western New Year, and Gena yesterday. We hope all of our friends and supporters have had a good holiday season and we hope that 2021 proves to be a marked improvement on 2020. However we have celebrated under a bit of a cloud, as for a long time we have not been able to contact some of our team members and good friends who are in Adigrat.

For those of you who have trekked in the Agame mountains you will know what a wonderful team of guides, communities and our two drivers we have there. Over the last few weeks information trickled in that this person and that person was OK but I just now had great news from one of the original guides from the Community Tourism in Tigray: Mulat. He came to Mekele and called me and he, his family and all of the community tourism guides are fine.

Hailay (Tesfa Tours driver) peeling a prickly Pear – Beles fruit!

The other news is that the Tesfa guesthouses are OK, I think one has been occupied, but other than that they should be OK when we can resume tourism in the area (not in the near future though).
If you are unable online order for viagra to get hard enough can spell disaster in your sex life. Most of cialis for sale them above the age of 50 reported their inability to swallow the pill. Bitter orange, which viagra online for sale is a popular Chinese herb suppresses the appetite, increases the energy along with burning fats. Also, while viagra 25mg online buying through cash on delivery (COD).
Life has been tough for everyone – but electricity is now restored. There is still no mobile network north of Mekele, and banks are not working, but at least our team are OK.

This will put a smile on all our faces – a real cause to be happy. Lets hope for more positive news and more positive developments where ever you are as 2021 gets underway.  Happy New Year.

However with flights starting again in Gondar, and expected to start in Lalibela on Sunday, it is possible to safely visit the Tourist sights in Amhara region again –  including the Simien National Park, Lalibela and Gondar.
