Highlights of Ethiopia Reviews

Mule trek in Lalibela was great, but I would strongly recommend to take the bus downhill because the trek was to dangerous for the mules and for hiking downhill. And the first stop in Lalibela should be the famous St. George rock church. We had it at the very end when the weather turned already bad. Luckily we had time again before our flight from Lalibela ...read more to Addis. Optional boat trip on Lake Tana should be included in the tour; this was certainly one of the highlight on the trip. Hotel at Simien Mountains was very basic; think about staying at the National Park Hotel inside the Park and charge a little bit more money for the whole trip.

It would be good to include a visit to a coffee plantation and to learn more about the local cuisine, e.g. how to make injera.

It's great trip I would definitely recommend it. We were lucky also to have a really good group. A thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking trip in the best tradition of Explore.
