1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
All wonderful but visiting Danakil was magical - not just because of the surroundings but because the guides made it fun - eg allowing us to ride across the salt flats on the roof of the car.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Work with the company to create your own itinerary (they did a wonderful job accommodating the things we wanted to do) and if you are vegan Ethiopia is a must!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Definitely benefited local people - we worked with local guides and drivers, and stayed in local communities4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Magical, unforgettable, diverse, thought provoking, fun!Eleanor Shelburne review 17 Jan 2020
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
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.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
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- we left our big bags at the lodge and brought smaller bags to spare the donkeys. We saw afterwards that LaLibela lodge offered gear rental (though we never checked what was available) and given the cold at night- this could prove useful if you don’t want to pack heavy gear.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Mostly this trip helped the local tourism economy.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We had a great time, thanks!Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
