We would like to thank your organisation as well as your Ethiopian partner for the very beautiful and well-groomed three-week trip in Northern and South Ethiopia. Can you also pass on our thanks to your 'spanish lady' - manager of your local partner - Myriam in Ethiopia.
The drivers were fine: driving very carefully and always on time. All contacts with guides were fine. All agreements were honoured. The price quality ratio of hotels was also fine. The Konso lodge is our favorite; the night at the hotel in Turmi the least. But again everything more than fine.
The climbs to the rock churches are beautiful in themselves - but some are not for all ages. On one of them, a perpendicular rock had to be climbed from six meters high (!) - and then at high altitude some heavy narrow crossings with often no security. This was not always justified we found, one should at least put in place security systems here. Not everyone makes it to the top - and those who make it talk of an unreasonable risk afterwards. Other people we spoke to there agreed with us.
But overall really meant: just thanks and congratulations!
With kind greetings,
Bernard De Canniere
