It was good to see and experience contrasting aspects of Northern Ethiopia, both cultural and natural, and having guides who knew their town or region made a huge difference to our trip. (more)Nick Waterfield
Everything was memorable. Perhaps the "treks" in Janamora and West Mesket stand out, or the smiley friendliness of everyone... Fabulous, loved every minute. (more)Tony Riley
The most memorable part of the vacation was visiting the livestock market... A wonderful first (and not last) experience of Ethiopia. (more)Susan Cunningham
From
£3,385
excluding flights
Great if you are interested in culture, history and religion (more)Hannah Murray
Although the Churches, Museums and Palaces were stunning and memorable the aspect that made the most impact was meeting people in different parts of Ethiopia and gaining some understanding of how they live. (more)Lauren Kaswell
Go with an open mind and you will have many wonderful surprises (more)Margarita Lytle
From
£2,483

What was best - all of it!! It is difficult to pick out just one memorable or exciting part as our various experiences in Ethiopia were all very special in their own way. We did see a procession for the Feast of St Michael in a small town and that remains a very special memory too. (more)Ruth Adams
Visiting the rock churches in AETHIOPIA and coming across a group of local pilgrims was my highlight. (more)Barbara Schmidle
The entire trip was very memorable. The churches were beautiful, the historical sites were interesting, the people were warm and friendly. I loved being in the midst of the gelada baboons. (more)Sheryl Padjen

Memorable parts?
Walking in procession amidst the welcoming crowds celebrating Timkat, the Ethiopian Coptic Church Epiphany, in Mekele.
Tips?
Go with an open mind to discover Ethiopa's history and amazing wildlife. Take binoculars.

Brilliant. We had a fabulous Ethiopian guide who could... (more)Jane Harris-Matthews
From
£4,265

Memorable parts?
Visiting rock churches and Lalibela and being able to enjoy their Timkat/Epiphany celebrations.

Watch the amount of time you are spending on the road. If necessary reduce what you see to enjoy it more.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first tour with the operator. The tour leader (Sue) was without doubt the best we have ever had from any tour company. Her knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to a fascinating and unforgettable tour of a beautiful country. (more)Brian Muir
Very good; although personally I found it a little too fast-paced. I would have preferred more downtime. (more)Katharine Shaw
From
£1,522
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing off the beaten track places, learning about traditions first hand. Seeing great scenery and good wildlife in Kenya.
Tips?
Ethiopia is quite 'rugged' but beautiful and varied. Don't expect luxury but it is rewarding in terms of scenery, customs and friendly people. Kenya is more comfortable with good campsites, great wildlife and good food.
Local benefits?
Visiting National Parks obviously support's conservation. Otherwise not that much.

The spectacular mountain scenery was something unexpected and awesome. The people were very friendly. Labilela rock hewn churches and the history was very interesting and fascinating. (more)Nicola de Jager
I am not sure what was the most memorable or exciting part of our vacation - for the three of us it would be different things. I think for my daughter it would be the fact that a leopard visited our camp in the Simien Mountains...I would say it was a truly amazing time. (more)Sophie Brinckman
As an introduction to the African continent, for me it was the best experience imaginable!
