Has anyone traveled to Ethiopia with Perigrine Tours? Or do you have a suggestion of another tour company? I'm looking for a 14 day tour for under $3500.00

If you are referring to Peregrine Adventures (www.peregrineadventures.com), its a good company. I did a Silk Road trip with them and was very pleased. It is an Australian company that advertises widely in the UK, so your travel companions will be mostly Australians, British and some Europeans. Peregrine Adventures is a sister company to Exodus,Imaginative Traveller, Gecko, and The Adventure Company (formerly Travel Bag).
You need to think about a North or South itinerary, or both. I've only been south--on an Exodus tour. The south is very tribal. Facilities very basic, but great trip.
If you are young (or particularly adventuresome and like to be with younger people) there's always Intrepid and Gap Adventures to try.

The Peregrine itinerary looks very active.
You could also look at Explore Worldwide (www.explore.co.uk) - a British company with several itineraries to Ethiopia.

Ethiopia
Peregrine is good, although we only have gone with them to Laos/Cambodia. Often a bit pricier, but a bit better quality than the following.
As above, Explore is good. If you are in US their address is www.exploreworldwide.com/
Exodus is very similar to Explore and for US is at www.adventurecenter.com or for Britain www.exodus.co.uk/
