Very well organised, knowlegeable english speaking guides, a plus also for Ethiopian airlines for internal flights. All the places visited were amazing and safe. A special plus to the care and punctuality of the organiser.

Overall, it was a pleasant journey, especially because of the nice cost and the good quality of the resorts and camp! But still, some aspects for improvement e.g. inadequate information of guide are sent to us only one day advanced after repeatedly urge. Moreover, we choosed minivan but it seemed to old, the tire and battery of the Van both failed in the road, we waste many times to fix it up. In all, the journey of Tigray Tours but the other trip arrangements was ok!
