The tour was memorable for all the wrong reasons

Roger_D, May 2026
There were two issues with this trip. Firstly, Viator's images for the tour show many animals, such as lions and tigers, in a zoo setting. There were none on the tour, only what we found in the forest up in the trees. Secondly, I expected the driver and tour guide to know where Suba Forest was and how to get there. We set off at 8:00 am and I was told we ought be there in about 2 hours. After 3 hours it was clear that we were lost. We drove up and down the same stretches of track many times, at one point ending up in a field with an electricity pylon in front of us. The driver had to pull over in a village and hire a local person to guide us to the Suba Reception office, arriving after 4 hours of travel. The walks were nice but when we got to the waterfall it was almost dry as this was early May and not the rainy season. I understand that the tour staff aren't responsible for the weather but this was another disappointment. We didn't come across any vantage points along the way that might have offered a panoramic view - not that any were promised though. The journey back to Addis was OK. This tour is absolutely not worth $130.

Highly recommended

Gorgeous forest, and the team took such good care of me and were very welcoming and informative. I also hugely enjoyed seeing a little bit of Ethiopia outside of Addis. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in hiking or nature. We also saw some animals!

Difficult but rewarding experience.
