Title: A deeper experience with ecosystems. - With my enthusiasm for fascinating ecosystems, I decided to contact Aman Ethiopia Tours
and visit the amazing Menagesha Suba Forest. The entire road was breathtaking. The
adventure of the forest was amazing, and the trip in the day was a once-in-a-lifetime
experience for me.
I got to see wild boars, monkeys, deer, and many other animals, including the voices of birds
singing across the forests. It was a lovely experience, and any person who loves to enjoy
nature must visit this forest at least once in their lifetime. The entire trip will take 6-7 hours
for you to complete. I also had my lunch at the highest peak, having a beautiful experience
all together.

Title: Choosing Aman Ethiopia Tours was the best decision! - The Suba Forest trip from Addis Ababa has become a very well-known trip. So I also
decided to take the journey with Aman Ethiopia Tours. It was one of the best decisions of my
life to visit the forest, as the entire hike was very adventurous, having sites of various
animals. The trees of the forest were older than 500 years and maybe more. I also saw
various species of mammals, like endemic antelopes. It is one of the best tourist destinations
for nature lovers. The entire trip cost $199, which included a bottle of water, the cost of the
driver and the guide, entry to the forest park, and the best lunch at the highest peak.

Title: Suba Forest is worth your time and money! - The trip to the Suba Forest was a must, as stated by the Aman Ethiopia Tours. I visited the
place with my family, and we all decided to go for a trip to the forest. The decision was worth
it as we got to see the most amazing natural beauty with big trees like Eric Arboreal and
Juniper. The overall duration of the trip was 7 hours. It was a day trip as evening trips aren't
suitable in a forest, but we enjoyed every bit of it, including lunch at the highest peak. It is a
highly recommended trip for all nature enthusiasts.

Title: Worth every penny! Totally amazing! - We decided to visit the Suba Forest with Aman Ethiopia Tours during a busy season. The
distance between the forest and Ababa is decent, but it took me 3 hours due to congestedand polluted roads on our way, and it was a huge traffic jam. Many people decided to visit
the forest on the day I did.
But, after crossing the difficult road, I got to reach the real wilderness of the forest, it was
extremely breathtaking. I could have hiked the entire day inside that forest, as the
environment was so beautiful.
The road might have been tough, but the guide and the driver were very professional and
helpful, keeping me engaged with the stories and information during the entire trip.

Wholesome experience and comfortable tour, highly recommended! - Last month, I went on a private tour to the Suba Forest with Aman Ethiopia Tours. It was a wholesome experience eating the traditional food at the highest peak and enjoying the Habeshi dancing. I also had a knowledgeable guide who deeply understood the history of his country and was extremely humble and kind.
I took a short ride to the Suba forest from Addis Ababa through some little villages and towns, which was also a new experience. I had a lovely day at a locality in the forest and enjoyed my day out with a smooth and once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is a highly suggested tour for all.

A true treasure! Thanks Aman Tours! - We went on a private tour to Suba forest and then to a Habeshi dancing and traditional food restaurant at night in one day. Our guide Neway is a knowledgeable historian, who loves his country deeply, kind and humble like all Ethiopians. It’s was a short ride to Suba forest from Addis through little towns and villages which was an experience by itself.
It takes a great driver to maneuver yourself on the the city roads and definitely in Suba forest, which we definitely had. Suba is precious with its unique flora and fauna. And our night out was very enjoyable.
All together it was a smooth, safe once-in-a-lifetime tour.
Highly recommended!

A beautiful forest! - I did this trip with Aman Ethiopia tours, and they made sure everything was great: the guide was knowledgeable and easy going, the pick-up was on time, and, of course, the forest itself was simply amazing.
Since it was the rain season, and in fact, it has been raining for the last couple of days, some parts of the road got really muddy and our car got stuck. Luckily, there were some local folks passing by, and we asked them for help. Half an hour later thanks to all the effort of the team (and with the help of a tractor) we managed to get going! I’m not sure what I will remember more, - the lush green forest of Menagesha Suba, or the whole “eight-people-trying-to-get-a-van-unstuck” situation :)
The forest is beautiful, - I saw a monkey, a couple of bushbacks, and a deer. The walk to the waterfall was misty, through a lusciously green and mossy forest. I could easily be hiking there all day!
Overall, I highly recommend the tour to all the nature lovers.

Real forest and hospitable guides - The forest is between 2-3 hrs from Addis. Don’t be deterred by the congested and polluted road on the way out of Addis, traffic jam could be pretty bad. But once you get away from all that you would see the difficult road is all worthwhile. I would say the best place for real wilderness as close as Addis as you could get. The trees are huge, I was told some are 600 yrs old. I saw wild boars, eagle, many barboons, and heard many beautiful song birds. During the hike in the forest, we happened to witness villagers trying to cut down a tree, but thanks to our guide from the Park they were driven away. Belay from the park service was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, he speaks good English so could explain many things. Also our guide from Amman Tour, Biruk was extremely helpful and professional, and so was the driver, Afewerk.
