Niki's African adventures continue as the season in the Southern hemisphere comes down.
March was yet another month of Ethiopian discoveries and introduction of the locals to Tanedm Paragliding :)
February brought more adventures for Niki Yotov and Hristo Petsanov in the wild beauty of Ethiopia.
Niki, Hristo and Yassen Savov set on an adventure to try new flying places and beat some height records.:
Here are some short stories from Niki and Hristo:
Despite that the winter in Bulgaria is no different than our "gypsy summer", Niki Yotov started his annual African expedition.
Niki was accompanied by the bulgarian national paragliding champion - Yasen Savov. They have a few trips planned for the next two months in Kenya and Ethiopia.
Niki and Yasen spent January in Kenya.
Unfortunately the season in Kenya this year prooved to be unusually wet with lots of rain and flooding which made the flying conditions in Kenya difficult for acheiving long distances.
With the winter lаying down layer upon layer of snow in Bulgaria, Nikolay Yotov set out to yet another expedition to Kenya and Ethiopia.
Niki and a group of foreign pilots managed to discover 2 new takeoffs and to do some nice flights.
One of the previous years XC routes was flown multiple times with 5000 meter cloudbase.
Niki compiled 2 photo slideshows from his trips:
Despite the difficult political situation, our 6th tour to Ethiopia was sweet and fruitfull.
