Blue Nile Falls

5.00I visited Blue Nile Falls. Beautiful. Excellent driver who drove on tracks, passed through villages to the Blue Nile. There a very professional guide Zenaw Lijalem welcomed me. First we crossed the Nile by boat, then saw the falls. Beautiful show. Then he offered me a little hike. We crossed the river where animals were drinking. Cross a Chinese bridge over the Nile, a Portuguese bridge. Zenaw is inexhaustible. He knows everything. I thank him and recommend him.

2-day Bahir Dar Adventure

5.00It was fun discovering Bahir Dar in two days. My private tour with Ethio Target Tour and Travel squeezed in everything and more. We started with enjoying the rich Ethiopian coffee ceremony, smelling the freshly roasted coffee beans and sipping it in a smoke-filled room as part of the traditional coffee ceremony, thereafter a presumptuous lunch, fish dullet and firfir with the world-famous injera treat for my family. Then dove headfirst into the vibrant Bahir Dar market to taste white honey and get the live feeling of the Ethiopian cultural clothes. The colors, the energy – it was a feast for the senses! Next day, we embarked on a boat trip on Lake Tana, visiting ancient monasteries that whispered stories of Ethiopia's rich history. The highlight? Witnessing the awe-inspiring Blue Nile Falls, locally called "Smoking Water." The power and beauty of the cascading water left me speechless. This perfectly paced 2-day adventure was a fantastic way to experience the cultural and natural wonders of Bahir Dar. Big thanks Abebe for his rich knowledge of Bahirdar and Habeshan culture and Solomon for your great coordination. Lastly, Ethio Target for their expertise and for making everything so seamless!
