Nakfa is a nice place to go but it is not easy to reach. Eritrea itself is a difficult country to arrive. Lufthansa Airlines operates occasional flights to Asmara, but only from Germany. Right now the only other way to reach Asmara is through Egypt, Yemen or Sudan. Every tourist in Asmara wants to visit Nakfa as it is a well known historic spot and very exotic too. But alas, there are no bus services and taxi drivers simply refuse to go there. You have to take a bus to Keren town where a village van going to Afabet can be arranged on the next day.
You have to accommodate yourself with cattle and carry bags but you will reach Afabet within a few hours of comfortless travel. Afabet is the place where you have to show your patience. Transport to Nakfa is certainly available but you have to wait for one or two days.
