Uitstekende reis met Dezy en zijn team! Als er ooit een bedrijf is geweest dat een stap verder gaat, dan is het Simien Mountains Trekking Adventure wel. Elk klein detail was tot in de perfectie gepland en zelfs toen vluchten werden geannuleerd (niet aan hun schuld), deden ze hun best om ons op de been te houden. Ik zou het ten zeerste aanbevelen om er gebruik van te maken - de communicatie is uitstekend!

My husband and I booked an individual 6 day hike in the Simien mountains through Dezy and we LOVED the experience! For a reasonable price, they met us at the airport in Gondar, and for six days of hiking, provided delicious meals, tents, sleeping bags, blankets, water. We were led on our hike by an expert, English-speaking guide, a scout, a porter, and a cook. (Btw, the food was absolutely delicious and since one of us is a vegetarian, they prepared tasty vegetarian dishes as well as a few meat dishes for the carnivore.)
All we had to do was show up with our clothes and hiking shoes, hike with a daypack (and the lunch prepared for us), and enjoy the experience. When we finished the day's hiking, our tent was set up in that day's campground and a table and chairs were ready for our afternoon tea and snack. You rough it a little, since there are no showers, but this is truly comfortable back-country hiking with great food. The team Dezy got together for us did all the set up at our campsites -- hiking without headaches!
The Simien mountains are a natural treasure and it was great to be led by locals who know the area, its people, the wildlife, and the landscape through and through. The guide explained what we were seeing as we hiked along and gave us insight into the natural environment, history, and local culture. They were supportive and positive throughout and so encouraging that these two (very fit, but still) senior citizens made it to the top of Ras Dashen mountains.
Lastly, the team is made up of locals, so you are providing financial support (and jobs) for the communities in and around the Simien Mountains Park. The service was reliable, courteous and friendly, and high-quality. Thank you! (Amasa ganarla!)
I encourage anyone interested in hiking the Simien Mountains to book with Dezy and his team at Simien Mountains Trekking and Tours.
We booked a trek with Simien Mountains Trekking and Tours / Dezy for 6 days in the Simien mountains and we can highly recommend it! It was all well organized. The pick-up was punctual, the guide Fenta was nice and knew a lot to tell about the landscape, flora and fauna. The equipment was good and the food delicious. Our crew did a great job and we were totally satisfied with our trek!
