Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

A second visit to Lalibela and I decided to venture into the mountains for a 3 day hike to the summit of Abune Yosef which is Ethiopia 4th highest mountain.
I was staying at the Blue Nile Guest Lodge as recommended by my guide which is right in town. So my hike started right from my hotel.
It was in October hence the surroundings were green and lush. It was very beautiful. The landscapes were a sight to behold, many hills and valleys. We also met many locals who were working in their farms or heading to the town and kids going to school. The kids were very friendly, saying hi and asking for writing pens. It might be useful to carry some with you as they are not bulky or heavy.
The hike itself was moderate, we covered 50kms over the 3 days and a total elevation gain of around 2,200m. So no prior hiking experience required, just general fitness. The nights were a little chilly, so pack warmly for the evenings.
We used a homestay as most mountain guest lodges had been closed due to covid (reduced tourists). Our host was a very friendly lady and her family. We ate and drank the same meals as the family and it was great.
Of concern though is the open toilet situation that I found at the homestay. It may be good to ask the guide to put you up where there are established toilets as it's not common practice.
You can also choose to include Asheton Maryam hike in the itinerary. If pressed on time you can do day trips to a view point or driver closer to the summit and hike up the summit, a 700m scramble from the road.
I had two guides, Alex and Samuel. Very friendly guys who really were kind enough to laugh at my silly jokes and participate in fitness regimens in the wild that I was doing.
I strongly recommend them when heading to Lalibela for the churches or the hikes.

עשיתי את האבונה יוסף עם טאזב המדריך 0920227325 באוקטובר 2020 בשיא תקופת הקורונה. הוא מקצועי,חברותי,דובר אנגלית טובה, יליד לליבלה ובעל קשרים בכפרים שבאיזור. בנוסף עזר לי למצוא תחבורה להמשך הטיול שלי ודאג לבדוק שאני מסתדר בדרך.

We were trekking Abuna Yosef with Tazeb for 3 days on January 20. Tazeb arranged everything perfectly and according to the schedule (very nice local family that hosts us @ nights, transpiration, food, cook, porter and a storage of bananas in is bag in case you need a boost of energy :).
Tazeb is amazing person - hamble, honest, always smiling with good energy and willing to answer any question. He is highly familiar with the region, culture, local people, landscape and the animals along the trail.
I Highly recommend to contact Tazeb via WhatsApp (+251 92 022 7325). He is very responsive and very good English speaker - you won't regret it!

I did a trek with local guide Nahom Misgan. We hiked in the Highlands for 4 days and summitted on Abuna Yosef. We stayed in the local Tukals. Nahom is an excellent guide. He is so attentive and respectful. We really had a fantastic time and the price was much lower than many of the big tour companies. Contact him by phone or WhatsApp at 251 94 886 3838

アシュトンマリアン修道院のある山です。全部登るには1泊2日必要で、徒歩でしか行けません。ちょっと大変なので、わたしは車で途中まで行きました。途中では現地の方の生活をみることができ、子供たちがめずらしそうに群がってきました。景色がとにかくすばらしいです。暗くなると難しい道なので、天気がいい日の日中に行くことをお勧めします。

איך שהגענו לליבלה התעלקו עלינו כמה אנשים שאמרו שהם מדריכים וניסו לסדר לנו טיול, לא אהבנו כל כך את ההתעלקות ואת הדרך שניסו למכור לנו את הטיול. אז הרמנו טלפון למדריך הראשון המומלץ שראינו פה. פגשנו את ג'רמה שמהרגע הראשון עשה רושם טוב של בן אדם שמספק שירות מעולה ולא רק בא לגזור קופון על תיירים. הסכים להוריד את המחיר בכמה דולרים לראש מההצעה הכי זולה שקיבלנו. בחור צעיר בערך בגילנו (23), איש נחמד בטירוף, אינטילגנטי, מסור,מצחיק, לא חאפר כמו רוב ה"מדריכים" באתיופיה, תמיד השיחה איתו זרמה, מכיר את האזור לעומק והתאים לנו את המסלול כמו שרצינו, ולא כמו שנהוג לעשות אותו (הלוך חזור מאותה דרך).
במהלך הטרק השרה תחושה של נוחות וביטחון. בלילה לנו בכפרים, וישבנו בבית המשפחה בערב, דאג שנקבל אירוח ברמה הכי מכבדת ונרגיש בנוח בסביבה. בקיצור גרם לטרק להיות הרבה מעבר לטרק וממש הרגשנו שהרווחנו חבר. למחרת התעקש שנצא איתו ועם חברים שלו למסיבה בעיר לליבלה, שכמובן היה אחד הערבים היותר מטורפים בטיול שלנו, והתעקש עלינו כל הערב.
בקיצור הבן אדם גרם לשבוע הראשון שלנו באתיופיה להיות נוח, נעים ומשמעותי. ממליץ בחום

I highly recommend the 3 days (2 nights) trek to Abune Yosef Mountain with Tazeb (+251 92 022 7325, available on WhatsApp) as a guide.
The trail crosses incredible highland countryside on the way to the mountain, which is beautifully covered with low-growth shrubs. There are awesome views from the peak. Nights are spent at a family's home in a village (you get your own private mud hut).
Good hearted Tazeb is a great guide - he knows the area by heart, takes care of everything - transportation, food (his co-cook is really good), porters, donkey-handlers etc., and always has a banana in his bag when you need an energy boost.

3 of us climbed Abuna Youssef with Ababa. If you have 3 spare days in Lalibela do it! Ababa might even accommodate a 2 day 1 night hike if you are an semi experienced hiker. I couldnt recommended Ababa enough. He met us the day before we started our hike a d showed us around the town, helping us with whatever we needed. He is an extremely humble and generous young man and we had everything we needed on the trip. Ababas whatsapp is +251 94 553 6496... send him a message. You won't regret it.

Hello,
Has anyone done a multi-day trek that includes Abune Yosef with Tesfa Tours? They are quoting me $350 for five days, which is $100 cheaper than Highland Eco Trekking, so I'd like to know which is the better trek. I really like challenging hikes and want to see as much wildlife as possible.
Thanks!
Kimberly

Hi
My boyfriend and I are planning to visit Ethiopia in December. We plan to fly from Addis Ababa to Lalibela around the 13/14th December and then after head onto bahir dar and gondar.
As it will be coming up to christmas we were wondering if this would affect plans? costs? accommodation availability?
We plan to book a flight within Addis for Lalibela, when we arrive in Lalibela will it be easy to find somewhere to stay? or should we book ahead? Any recommendations?
We like the sound of doing a three day trek of either Abune Yosef or the Simien Mountains. How much roughly do one of these treks cost? How/where is best to arrange?
And any suggestions where to be for christmas? and then new years eve?
Also any general advice on good routes round would be great! Afterwards we are planning to head to explore south ethiopia and then onto kenya.
Thanks :)

Hi, I have never been to Ethiopia in december, but I have been on Easter this year, so I'm not an expert. In case nobody would answer, at least you got mine.
My guide at the churches told me that on Christmas it must be really crowded and pretty booked I have never been to Ethiopia in december, but I have been on Easter this year, so I'm not an expert. In case nobody would answer, at least you got mine.
My guide at the churches told me that on Christmas it must be really crowded and pretty booked (but I dont know about the time before christmas), so reservations in advance would not be a bad idea (hotel and flights). Lalibela is a must see, but if you would like to have it a little less crowded for christmas day you can also do axum that day and lalibela another. Axum is kind of the christian capital of Ethiopia I have been told. I have been there for easter, which was really impressive.
For the trekking question: Semien Mountains is more famous and also very spectacular, but to see great views you have to hike probably more than 3-4 days (to get up and down), so I did that by car (which is quicker) and than I had enough time to do more of Abune Yosef Trekking.
Abune Yosef Trekking is a real of the beaten track tip. Only by chance I got to know of it, but it was so great I still tell people about it. It is very unique and you can see how Ethiopian highland people live (no cars, no power, just them with the animals, their village and the nature). Views the views on this tour are a little less spectacular then at the simien mountains, but you see real Ethiopia. The tour includes simpel accomodation, bottled water and food. The price (I'm not 100% sure) was about usd 60.-/pp if you are two or usd 80.- if you are alone.efore christmas , so reservations in advance would not be a good idea (hotel and flights).

For South Omo. I think it is only possible to get to the tribes by 4x4 car. So you got to rent one. It should not cost you more than usd 120-140 per day, without fuel costs. Sorry that I don't know more about south omo (didn't have the time for that). If you have any other questions don't hesitate. Or if you would need a good car agency I could give you some adresses. Have fun.
