Amazing experience of Ethiopia with Awaze Tours
Awaze Tours的点评
点评：Where do I begin? Our 14 night journey (myself and my sister fit and adventurous 70 and 63 year olds) through southern Ethiopia exceeded our expectations in so many ways. We wanted a mix of wildlife and culture and the independence of our own vehicle, driver and guide. Awaze Tours made it all possible. Habte was flexible and helpful at every stage of planning the itinerary. Our driver Hope Michael is an absolute gem and so careful on the often long journeys and bumpy roads, helpful, patient and generous with his time, knowledge and advice. On our 5 day trek through the mountains of Bale National Park we were guided by Jamal, an exemplary guide whose knowledge of wildlife greatly enhanced our experience. He was also caring and funny and along with cook Abu and two helpers who also took care of the pack horses did everything to look after us well. Abu’s skills on a one burner stove produced extraordinary meals! Thanks to Jamal’s eagle eyes we enjoyed sightings of twelve Ethiopian Wolves, Mountain Nyala, Menelik’s Bushbuck, Olive Baboons, Warthogs and zillions of shy Grass Rats. Steppe, Tawny and Verreaux’s Eagles, Augur Buzzards, Lammergeier, Lanner Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Blue-winged Goose, Ruddy Shelduck and many other birds. The mountain landscapes were extraordinary: bleak but beautiful, sweeping views, incredible columnar basalt formations, amazing flowers including fields of helichrysum everlasting flowers and red hot pokers. Evenings were chilly and we huddled round a camp fire, night time temperatures dropped to minus 6 Celsius and we needed every item of warm clothing (merino wool, down jacket, hat & gloves) we had brought. The camping equipment was good and just about coped with the cold nights though one of us brought an extra camping mat for comfort. We struggled with the altitude even though the trekking per se was not arduous. Taking it slowly was the way to go. Good to know that there are no campsite facilities - it is wild camping in the true sense of the word. Not a problem for us. Over the 5 days we didn’t meet another traveller - the whole experience felt very special. For the second part of our trip we were guided by Abaya who worked tirelessly to give us a unique and fascinating experience of the Omo Valley tribes. We had so many memorable moments with the Dorje, Ari, Mursi, Hamar and Karo people…. It is humbling to witness their lives and the ingenious ways they cope with a harsh and challenging environment. Abata was an amazing ‘fixer’ constantly arranging and rearranging things behind the scenes so that we would get the best experience of these different cultures. He’s a fantastic communicator and facilitator! The road journeys were long but always interesting- so much to see along the way. Thank you Awaze Tours for an amazing experience. A final note - if you plan to bring binoculars and long camera lenses you will need a special permit - make sure you ask Awaze to apply for this more than two weeks in advance.
翻译：我从哪里开始呢？我们（我和我姐姐，一个 70 岁，一个 63 岁，身体健康，喜欢冒险）在埃塞俄比亚南部进行了 14 晚的旅行，在很多方面都超出了我们的预期。我们想要体验野生动物和文化的结合，并且拥有自己的车辆、司机和导游。Awaze Tours 让这一切成为可能。Habte 在规划行程的每个阶段都很灵活，乐于助人。我们的司机 Hope Michael 绝对是个宝贝，在经常漫长的旅程和颠簸的道路上非常小心，乐于助人、耐心，慷慨地提供时间、知识和建议。在我们穿越贝尔国家公园山脉的 5 天徒步旅行中，我们由 Jamal 带领，他是一位模范导游，他对野生动物的了解极大地丰富了我们的体验。他也很体贴、风趣，和厨师 Abu 以及两个照顾驮马的助手一起尽一切努力照顾我们。Abu 在单炉灶上的技能让我们做出了非凡的饭菜！感谢 Jamal 的鹰眼，我们看到了 12 只埃塞俄比亚狼、山林羚、孟尼利克羚羊、橄榄狒狒、疣猪和无数害羞的草鼠。草原鹰、褐鹰和非洲雕、秃鹫、胡兀鹫、兰纳猎鹰、游隼、蓝翅雁、赤麻鸭和许多其他鸟类。山地景观非凡：荒凉但美丽，一览无余，柱状玄武岩层令人惊叹，鲜花盛开，包括大片的蜡菊永生花和火把花。夜晚很冷，我们挤在篝火旁，夜间气温降至零下 6 摄氏度，我们需要穿上所有保暖衣物（美利奴羊毛、羽绒服、帽子和手套）。露营设备很好，几乎可以应付寒冷的夜晚，不过我们中的一个人带了一张额外的露营垫以保暖。尽管徒步旅行本身并不费力，但我们还是与海拔高度作斗争。慢慢来才是最好的方法。很高兴知道这里没有露营设施——这是真正意义上的野营。对我们来说不是问题。在 5 天里，我们没有遇到其他旅行者——整个体验感觉非常特别。在我们旅行的第二部分，我们由 Abaya 带领，他不知疲倦地工作，让我们体验了奥莫山谷部落的独特和迷人的体验。我们与多杰、阿里、穆尔西、哈马尔和卡罗人度过了许多难忘的时刻……见证他们的生活以及他们应对严酷和充满挑战的环境的巧妙方式令人感到谦卑。Abata 是一个了不起的“调解人”，他不断地在幕后安排和重新安排事情，以便我们能够获得这些不同文化的最佳体验。他是一个出色的沟通者和推动者！公路旅行很长，但总是很有趣——沿途有很多东西可以看。感谢 Awaze Tours 为我们带来如此美妙的体验。最后要注意的是 - 如果您计划携带双筒望远镜和长焦相机镜头，您将需要特殊许可证 - 请务必提前两周以上向 Awaze 申请。
