Getting TO/AROUND: Only kidding really. But this is how the locals transort goods. You can buy donkeys for about £20. I was tempted but I think I would have trouble with customs at Heathrow.

Getting TO/AROUND: Ethiopian airlines, Egyptian air, Lufthansa, and Alitalia fly to Addis Ababa from the UK. We flew with Ethiopian airlines, a recommendable service.
There are internal flights going to major centers such as Bahar Dar, Lalibela and Axum (except in times of war with Eritrea).

Going Long Distances By road: I would seriously avoid the buses as we saw one teatering on the edge of a cliff, and another on its side. You can go by tour like we did, or hire a 4 wheel drive and guide which you can get for around $100US a day.

Getting Around Addis Ababa: You can hire a taxi for about $2US an hour. We were lucky, with a taxi driver who can speak good english. We hired him for 3 days.
