Ethiopia, Car Storage in Addis Ababa?

hi,
We are traveling through Africa by 4x4 and would like to leave the car in Addis for a couple of months. Does anybody know a place, where car can be parked under a roof?

We know about Wim's Holland House, but there car can be parked outside only.
The owners of the German Bakery left Addis again, so this place does not work anymore.
Does anybody has another adress for parking in Addis?
Thank you very much in advance!
Iris and Joerg

Not to repeat what has already been said, but I literally had a conversation in October with Wimm regarding this exact subject. It was not for me, but he said that many people do this and will come and go and that he has people he sets them up with.

Definitely drop him an email. His wife usually is the one to handle the e-mails, and her English is pretty good and she will generally respond quickly.

Same question!

Hello,

We are a French couple, who travelled by car trough Africa during one year, from Cape Town to Mombasa, (via Angola...)
We are now working again, in Africa.

We "parked" our car in Mombasa, last September, and we would to move it from there to Ethiopia, next... week.
Once in Ethiopia, we would like to store it for several months, until our next holidays.
It can be in Addis or elsewhere, as long as the car is in a safe place, covered.

Does anybody know a place where it can be stored?

Thanks!
