Air
Air is the fastest way but the planes don't keep always their timetables. On a bad weather they don't fly at all. By car you see much more but it takes plenty of time because the roads are in a bad condition.

We booked our Omo valey tour with Abbeba tours company. Our driver and guide was Getachi very responsible yuong guy,that treat of all our necessities.

Ethiopian Airlines is one of the best African airlines, with a good traffic network within Africa and good connections.

For those who doesn t want to travel aroud Ethiopia by land , you could go by land!! It's faster and cheap under 900 usd for going around the country..

There is a paved road from Addis to Bahir Dar now, so that you can get from one city to the other by minibus in one day. The big buses still need two days (via Debre Markos)
although street signs have recently put up in and around Addis, nobody really uses these. try to familarize yourself with landmarks NOT street signs otherwise you will not make it around town!!
Mini busses either go on certain routes in the cities or cover shorter overland routes than busses do. They are faster with fixed rates (which are probably higher for Faranjis!)

In the bigger cities there are taxis available. Check about the price before getting into the cab and check if the given price is per person or per cab! Generally you should bargain!

The taxi is the best way to travel around in cities, if you don't want to walk. They are quite cheap, but the taxi drivers always try to rip you off, so discuss about the price before you get in!
