the Horn blog

We spent two months, February-March 2012, traveling through Ethiopia (and Somaliland). We kept a travelogue in blog-style, with many photos, called Travel in the Horn of Africa.

For some impressions of individual locations in Ethiopia, we have split the country in three: the Northern Circuit – classical Ethiopia -, the Rift Valley and South Omo River – tribal Ethiopia -, and the Afar Region and the North East – the Ethiopian Desert. Access is through the boxes below.

There is also a reading list for Ethiopia, reviewing some of the books we read ahead of, and during our trip.
