Ethiopia

Helen Kennedy Africa Travel Specialist

"Ethiopia offers a very different wildlife experience: it is home to some of the world's rarest and most endangered mammals such as the Ethiopian wolf, Walia ibex and Swayne's hartebeest, all of which number only some 500 individuals. Other endemic mammals include the unmistakeable Gelada monkey and localized Bale monkey."

Accommodation Reviews

'Overall holiday satisfaction (Timket Group 2, January 2018): Excellent. A good variety of different activities and destinations giving an excellent introduction to the country.

Avanti Blue Nile: needs refurbishment, then this can be excellent.

Mayleko Lodge: Good in terms of comfort, service and location. Meals and faclities average. Large room; comfortable. No toiletries provided except soap. Peaceful. TV and WiFi only in reception.

Simien Lodge: restaurant manager surly; beer overpriced but overall a super place.

Lalibela Lodge: good in terms of comfort and service.

Sabean Hotel: convenient if a little noisy.

We were fortunate to have an excellent guide (Temesgen) and a good group of people of similar ability and interest. This added greatly to our enjoyment of the holiday.'

While the hotel has a very modern look and feel about it and therefore not much in the way of 'character', it is currently (July 2018) the best accommodation in Bahir Dar.
