Ethiopia: Driving Through Tigray Region
Driving from Axum to Mekele is crossing over several 8-9k feet mountain ridges in the northern Ethiopia. It’s very similar in appearance to the American Southwest – similar vistas with red rock towers, panoramic views from the overlooks along the twisting switchback of the road. In many places the roads are too steep for the overloaded trucks to navigate them, and the latter fall off or turn over.
