With all of the planning, there is always room for some creative change when circumstances dictate. A few weeks ago, I learned that my tour in Ethiopia had been cancelled due to lack of participation. After several weeks searching out alternative providers, I came across a brief posting on a travel forum about the upcoming Ethiopian election which was to occur right in the middle of my visit. Well, I love democracy and all that but in 2005 the election turned violent, and I'm not to anxious to be a first hand witness to this year's election as a solor traveler. I might like to be an election monitor some day but perhaps under the auspices of the UN or some other NGO. So, Ethiopia is going by the wayside this time.
The revised itinerary now includes:
1) A visit to London from May 10-14
2) Travel around northern Italy with cooking school for 4 days near Florence from May 14-27
3) A gorilla trek in Rwanda May 30-June 2
4) The previously sent itinerary picks up from there with the 18 night camping safari from Kenya to Zambia. Yes, that's 18 nights!
Note: there are a few travel days in between so no need to worry about "missing" days
