    Default Road condition Addis Ababa to Djibouti

    Are there any Forum Members who have travelled by road from Addis Ababa to Djibouti over the past few months and if so, what is the condition of the road?

    Get hold of Kingsley Holgate - I think he has just done that route as part of his Rift Valley expedition. There haven't been any posts on the forum with regard to that region.

    The road goes through the Danakil, and there is a fair amount of banditry in that area.

    I gather the Chinese have either just finished or are busy finishing a tar highway linking Addis to Djibouti.
