I also tagged on a trip to Lalibela. I would recommend everyone to do that. The experience was biblical. The underground churches that were in use all of the time was heartfelt. To be walking around exposed to their services and emotional prayer taking photographs carefully not to intrude was unbelievable.
I wish I could share more images.

We had one of lifetime experience. It was an tribe vist where we saw the most beautiful, kind, brave human beings. I will never forget the people, kids, boys, girls, women, men, young and old. I also received the best hospitality and service from the staff and guides. I will go back to visit with a heartbeat when I can.

We were lucky enough to have Grand Holidays as our ground agent for our bespoke travels in Northern Ethiopia arranged by our UK tour operator. Every detail of our holiday was well-organised and our guide, Bayuh, was thoroughly professional, a great communicator and delightful company. We felt very well looked after in what can seem quite a challenging country and have left with wonderful insights. Bayuh added extra activities according to our interests, such as markets and village visits, to really see the life and lives of the locals. I met a tour leader in the Simien Mountains from Explore, a big UK tour operator, and she could not speak highly enough of Grand Holidays and their boss.

My family and I visited Ethiopia with Grand Holidays, and the experience far exceeded my expectations; it was one we’ll all remember for a lifetime. Desale did an excellent job of communicating with us from Ethiopia and of organizing the trip, and our guide Bayu spoke great English and was able to introduce us to local people and even arrange for us to visit their homes in a few cases – incredible authentic experiences we would not have been able to arrange without him. I was amazed with his knowledge of Ethiopian history, and with the breadth of his English vocabulary that was necessary to communicate it to us. I can’t recommend this company highly enough; we had a fantastic time!

In November/December 2019 we visited Ethiopia during a one-month holiday that brought us to many of the highlights of the beautiful country. In cooperation with Desale, we made an itinerary that combined bird-/naturewatching with visiting tribal and cultural sites and the Danakil depression.

My wife and I went to the Omo Valley with Kali and it was one of the best experiences in our life. Kali is an attentive, good hearted man that tries hard to make his guests enjoy the tour as much as possible and feel comfortable. He is well appreciated by the people of Omo Valley tribes and villages and a helpful person with the community. We enjoyed all of it: from visit non-touristic tribes, to the chats with him, to the tasty restaurants he took us to.
Thank you Kali and see you soon.

I and my friends went on this tour in December 2019. We knew it would be difficult and challenging to get around without a local guide, so after long research we’ve decided to hire Kali and his crew to help us. And we’ve made a right choice! First of all – Kali impressed us with his personality. He is always upbeat, smiling and very knowledgeable. He took us to places not ever tour guide would go! (Kali is local to the area and knows most of the tribes and he has good heritage). We went over most of the Omo Valley and have visited many villages. People always welcomed Kali and us with warm hugs and smiles. The trip was just amazing! Kali took care of us to the best standards you’d expect and we really grateful to him for this amazing trip. Thanks, Kali!
