Me and my friend were about to book our trip including Ethiopia and Tanzania, when somebody who's just returned from Malawi warned us of how dangerous it is becoming in Ethiopia. I don't know which specific regions she was refering to,but since I'd be traveling on a shoestring, and avoiding resorts,and major tours, I want to be sure it's safe for independent travelers.
I'd definetly be interested in finding travel buddies, and exploring all that you mention.
Just wondering if it is still relatively safe.
