"I couldn't have asked for anything more of World Odyssey on my trip to Ethiopia. They were extremely prompt and efficient throughout the complicated planning, and nothing was too much trouble. The Ethiopian agents, drivers and guides were knowledgeable, charming and helpful without exception, and Ethiopia lived up to our highest expectations."
