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

Our trip was FULL of memorable and exciting moments. A few that spring to mind include hiking the trails high in the mountains above Lalibela and our first
coffee ceremony (more)Hannah Smith
The most memorable part of the vacation was seeing the Meskel festival in Gondar (more)Catherine Dickson
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

Memorable parts?
Bull jumping ceremony in Hammar village

From
US $3,879
excluding flights
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.
Local benefits?
Certainly benefited local people through employment of local guides and work at hotels through tourism. Ethiopia needs more tourism to help its economy.
Overall rating?
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.
Tips?
Watch the amount of time you are spending on the road. If necessary reduce what you see to enjoy it more.

One hopes so the parks and lodges are employing local people.
Overall rating?

From
£1,695
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
We loved the Gelada monkeys in Simien Mountains the very best. Other
highlights were having a fruit layered drink with Eskinder, eating injera with lots of different dishes at Ben Ababa restaurant in Lalibela and the spectacular high altitude views.
Tips?
Try to figure out how to tip drivers and guides (including museum and church
guides) as I am not sure we ever really figured out what was an appropriate
amount. Trekking is amazing but rigorous and rustic-... (more)Eleanor Shelburne

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!
