A perfectly fun, enjoyable day you wil love! - This trip exceeded my expectations! The guide was fantastic and made the day both fun and exciting. During the hike, an additional guide joined us, providing valuable information and helping us find great spots for pictures. The hike was incredibly enjoyable, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The local people were friendly and willing to take photos with us. There is a delightful boat ride that also brings you to a charming monastery. Bringing small items or bills for the children and the church is a good idea, as they genuinely enjoy interacting with tourists.

good insight into life outside Addis Ababa - cool trip to the rural area outside Addis. The trips are well organized. Eyayaw is also aware of the security situation and is a good point of contact for tours in Ethiopia. At the place you make an approximate 2-hour hike (easy) and a boat tour. You can also admire locals' cabins and their ways of life. The drive is also interesting, as you pass remote villages.
