This was one of the best experiences of my entire life. North Ethiopian crew made sure that everything ran smoothly, taking best care of us. The hike just breathtaking. Food was good too. All of the members of the crew were the kindest human beings you can get. Thanks to them and their awesome company, this one became the highlight of our African trip.
Looking forward to travelling with them again!

The hike was great, but wouldn’t recommend it for the dry season. I can imagine it’s amazing after the rains. The crew was very helpful, the chef put in lots of effort and all my needs were taken care of. I would suggest that the guide do a safety briefing before the hike starts, cause that was not done. Adem was very attentive and helpful with getting me transport back to Gondar when I needed to go back a day early. Thanks Adem. The owner, not sure of his name but someone told me he was the owner, had a real nasty attitude with me when I told him I needed to leave a day early, and he really got on my nerves. Apart from him, everyone else was great. I would hope more money goes to the rest of the crew and not him!

North Ethiopian assured best experience ever for my trekk in Simien mountains. They were taking best care of my at each stage of the experience. Adem is a great company for a tour, an honest and wholehearted individual while Jackson is a really experience mountain guide who knows virtually every single trail in Simien. They are really great party to trek with! Thanks North Ethiopian for the great experience!
