I did the North Ethiopia Historic Route with Danakil Depression 16 Day Tour with Neway the tour guide and driver, also called Neway. The whole team were fantastic, catering for my needs and being flexible. The entire time I was in Ethiopia I felt safe and was having a great time. I don’t typically book a tour when visiting somewhere but it made sense to allow me to see and do as much as I could with the time I had there. The tour took me to many historic sites including churches (each as different to the next), monasteries, museums and tombs. I also saw many natural sights, including the spectacular Semien Mountains, The Blue Nile Falls, the alien landscapes of Dallol, salt flats and even slept on the side of an active volcano. There were a few driving days but these were a chance to enjoy Ethiopia’s dynamic landscapes. I have learnt loads about Ethiopia, it’s people, history and Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity. I was also lucky to see many wildlife along the way including, eagles, vultures, hyrax, gelada and olive baboons, vervet monkeys, ostriches and even a hippopotamus! North Ethiopia has so much to offer, I recommend this tour to make the most of it. The experience was well worth the price. 11/10!
