I travelled with my adult granddaughters and we all had an amazing time. At the age of 74 it’s the first time I have travelled on a train, sitting with my legs dangling over the side!”

Travel from Bole Airport to Debre Libanos, an ancient monastery linked to Saint Tekle Haymanot, then walk to the Portuguese Bridge and nearby gorge. Guides such as Sisay, Yihun, Freaw, and Jose lead the day, with coffee, lunch, wildlife, and wide mountain views along the way.

“Sis was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and a good driver. He was very attentive and I would definitely recommend this tour to others. The drive is very pleasant and interesting snd the destination is spectacular. The church, the gorge, the monkeys, and the Portuguese bridge are all well worth it!”
