Does anyone know what the situation vis-vis firearms is transiting Adis-Abbaba? This looks like it may have potential as a safari route.

Thanks Kathi,

I am thinking more of avoiding Jo-berg and all SA en route to other countries because of the possible hassles in SA. Ethiopian air seems to have a good route net through Africa. What is their reputation as an airline?

Cross L,

We flew Ethiopian Air during October 2009. Nice flight with very friendly staff. The direct route of not stopping in Rome is really great.

One incident occurred when we were leaving Addis Ababa to return home. Before departing the plane developed engine trouble so we were delayed a few hours.The ground crew repaired the engine and we continued with no problems.

Good luck in your travels.
