Accommodation
From
£1,795

Very interesting, eye-opening and moving. (more)Cyril Young
This is very difficult to answer because there are so many memorable aspects to the trip for example the hikes in the Simien mountains with all the monkeys,
the Tigray church on the top of the cliff, the rock churches of Lalibela, the art work in some of the churches. (more)James Attree
Trekking in the Simien mountains for 5 days. Loved every moment. (more)Ros Pennefather
From
£2,799
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

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
The most exciting was seeing the Wallia Ibex and the open heart monkeys. The most memorable is the image of the people on the move, herding their cattle and livestock, walking on the roadside, carrying heavy loads, everything from water containers, sacks of grain, wood, hay and even stones. (more)Sue Todd

US $205

Memorable parts?
Arrving at the first village on day one of the trek - incredible setting and the most spectacular place to have a cup of tea anywhere in Ethiopia!
Tips?
Take some alternative nibbles for when you tire of injera. Wear high factor sunscreen - it's high up so it might not feel hot but you burn quicker. Drink lots of water.
Local benefits?
Yes, we were told 60% of the money goes to the community. Our trekking had minimal impact on the local environment, though... (more)Joe Downie
From
£2,395

Memorable parts?
Bull jumping ceremony in Hammar village
Tips?
Beware of poor accommodation in Yabello and Wando Genet
Local benefits?
No
Overall rating?
I enjoyed learning about the customs and village life (more)Joan Thomas
From
£4,265
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Visiting rock churches and Lalibela and being able to enjoy their Timkat/Epiphany celebrations.
Tips?
Watch the amount of time you are spending on the road. If necessary reduce what you see to enjoy it more.
Local benefits?
One hopes so the parks and lodges are employing local people.
Overall rating?
Excellent, our tour operator did a great job of organising and delivering for us. (more)Hugh Tottle

US $68

The camp we stayed at was in the most stunning position... The landscape aside, what really made this trip was the people. It was a wonderful experience staying and walking with the locals and whilst humbling at times it never once felt uncomfortable. (more)Mark Lineham
The walk is simply spectacular with magnificent views over the escarpment every step of the way....The people are really lovely and very welcoming and we found it an extraordinary privilege to meet them and learn about their lives. (more)Justin Francis
From
£3,565
excluding flights
It was all memorable but - not toooo exciting! (more)June Addison
The most memorable parts were the fantastic views from the escarpments and a chance visit at a local school during the TESFA walk, the view over the twin of Ayers Rock from the Ghiralta lodge (more)Monica Filkova
This was a wonderful way to see the beauty of Ethiopia, its warm friendly people and to experience one of it's best known festivals in an idyllic rural community setting. The guide was outstanding in her knowledge of the country and was proactive...A traveling group vacation cannot get better than this. (more)Anne Cooper
From
US $1,399
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 highlight was visiting the tribal markets at Turmi and Alduba, including walking to the Turmi market from Buska Lodge; and sitting in a Hamer mud hut drinking coffee. (more)Ann Wintersgill
A great vacation ... incredible sights and the chance to see several of the tribal groups in the Omo Valley. (more)Lloyd Martin
This vacation was everything we hoped it would be, and much more. We saw everything we wanted to see, but what really made the difference was the wonderful guide and driver. (more)Carolyn Scharf
From
£2,335
excluding flights
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!
(more)Julie Stanhope
From
£820
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Scrambling up the rocks to the rock hewn churches of Tigray, adrenaline, amazing views and fantastic history.
Tips?
Be prepared for long drives on dangerous roads, awesome scenery but nailbiting at times. Although the sights were amazing some of them were also busy, take a few extra days and try to get a bit more off the tourist trail, there are places to stop on the way between the major sights, would have been good to stop rather than motoring between major places....
