  • "Our party of 6 guests took the first trek from Meket to Lalibela. The trip is about 160 km/100 miles and included the Abune Yosef summit (+/-4,300m). A week after returning I’m still not quite sure where to start describing the trip, it was so much more than we expected. It may make sense to begin with the people of the Ethiopian highlands who guided us, cooked for us and generously welcomed our group to their country. I’ve lived in urban West Africa and hadn’t experienced anything like this before...I will recommend a trip such as ours to many friends. It really was a special place, and I am sure we will never forget our time there." John McIntosh
  • "We stayed at all 5 sites and it was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anybody coming to Ethiopia. The scenery is truly breathtaking and varies every day with stunning views from every site. We would not want to miss any of the sites! During the trekking we saw lots of wildlife, amongst others hundreds of Gelada baboons and even Ethiopian wolves on AbuneYoseph!...If the sites in Meket were amazing, AbuneYoseph was beyond expectations! The site of the new tukuls of Ad MedhaneAlem with its view on Lalibela is truly stunning and so is the landscape and wildlife on this unique mountain. At the same time it was obvious how important and valuable this project is for providing sustainable income to farmers in order to ensure the conservation of this fragile afro-alpine ecosystem and of the habitat of the rare Ethiopian wolf..."
