We are in love with Ethiopia! We decided to go there for various reasons with unclear expectations or none, but the whole experience was beyond any thought.

From the very first day in Addis we felt so touched by its gentle people, the colourful landscape of the city. It is so worth it to stay a couples of days in Addis and explore its churches, its streets, and perhaps have your first contact with a coffee ceremony, injera and a St George beer.

We flew to Bahir dar from Addis, the flights are quite cheap and the time you save is definitely worth it.

Bahir dar is an amazing city! we had a very nice guide there and enjoyed every single moment there, specially the trip on the way to the Blue Nile Falls and of course the Falls themselves blew our minds.

I will never forget those kids and the scenery. The monasteries in Lake Tana are a piece of art full of history!

We drove to Gonder, we didn’t like it much this city, but this was the door to go to the Simmien Mountains. We stayed there for 3 days enjoyed the view unfortunately it was a bit misty.

We would advise you to stay at least 5 days to make it worth it. We think that most of the agencies there have overpriced the Simmien mountains trip.

However the scenery is beautiful, the fauna and vegetation unique. Be aware that the temperature can drop up to 0 degree at night. We were quite cold in our first night at the second camp and did not have the appropriate equipment.

From Gonder to Lalibela by plane, since we arrived we liked it! A different landscape and different experience. A small town full of cultural icons, impressive ancient churches, indeed a spiritual place.

I was most impressed by its rich history. We visited other southern cities such as, Shashamane where we meet very nice families, Awasa lake, Lake Langano etc.
