Timkat
Wedajo is a Senior Tour Guide, who is
based in Addis Ababa and has been devoted
to travel and tourism for most of his
career, serving in locations throughout
Ethiopia. Thanks to a growing friendship
with Timkat we got to know many members of
the Tour Operators Association in Addis
Ababa and discovered that they share a
common bond that is unknown in many other
countries. Never have I seen competitors
so willing to work together. We had an
opportunity to read the comments from some
of Timkat's customers and they confirmed
our strong feelings about his loyalty and
devotion to the cause. In the photos below
are a few of the many tour groups hosted
by Mr. Wedajo, who is an important member
of the team at Rainbow
Exclusive Car Rental and Tour Services,
with three offices in Addis Ababa and
others throughout the country. More
information on Timkat Wedajo appear in
this section of the web site.

Editor's
Comments: At the Africa Travel
Association 32nd World Congress in Addis
Ababa, May 2007, we had the good fortune
to renew our seven year friendship with
one of the most gracious, respected and
experienced travel tourism professionals
in all of Africa. Being accompanied by
such a shining example of true Ethiopian
hospitality was a special honor. We were
introduced to a variety of individuals,
several of whom have now become our
friends and business colleagues. Well
known throughout Ethiopia, Timkat Wedajo
has been a fountain of information for
Associate Editor Muguette Goufrani and
myself in compiling the stories and photos
for the special Millennium Edition of
Africa Travel Magazine. We are proud to
call him friend. Knowing people like
Timkat is another reason why myself and
other ATA Chapter Presidents are so
devoted to this worthy organization and
the host countries who are the foundation
of its membership.
