Travellers after their journeys
A few reflections from guests who travelled with our guides.
“The three days we spent crossing the Simien escarpment were the highlight of our entire trip to Ethiopia. Every viewpoint felt like the best yet — and the gelada baboons were unforgettable.”
“Our guide grew up in these mountains and it showed — patient, knowledgeable and full of stories. Camping above the cloud layer was pure magic.”
“Seamless from start to finish. The mix of highland trekking and the rock churches of Lalibela in one trip was exactly what we hoped for.”
“As a solo traveller I was a little nervous about altitude, but the careful pacing and encouragement made all the difference. I'd recommend them to any traveller.”
“A short but perfectly formed trip. The waterfall hike and the wallia ibex sightings exceeded every expectation, and the lodge was comfortable after a day on the trail.”
“We covered the historical north at a relaxed pace — Gondar's castles, Axum's stelae and Lake Tana's monasteries. Great guiding and a genuinely fascinating journey.”
“The five-day panorama trek was challenging but so rewarding. Everything — food, camps, pacing, wildlife — was looked after flawlessly. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
“We travelled as a family with two teenagers, and our guide adapted everything to keep all of us engaged and comfortable. The coffee ceremony on our last afternoon was the perfect ending.”
Before you book
How far in advance should I book?
A few weeks is usually fine, though popular months (Oct–Mar) can fill. The more lead time you give us, the more flexibility we have with dates and accommodation.
Can I change my itinerary after booking?
Yes. Plans shift for all kinds of reasons. Tell us as early as possible and we'll adjust the route and logistics around your new dates.
Do I need to book flights myself?
Domestic flights within Ethiopia can be arranged through us or booked by you. We'll advise the best connections for your itinerary either way.
What happens if the weather changes my plans?
Weather across Ethiopia can be dramatic. Our guides adapt routes and timings on the ground, and we always prioritise comfort and safety over a rigid schedule.
Tell us what your trip looks like
Safari, trek, cultural circuit or something in between — we'll shape every part of it around you.
