Rejseplan
Det er et af det gamle og historiske kloster i Etiopien, der ligger nordvest for Addis Abeba. Klosteret blev grundlagt i det 13. århundrede af Saint Tekle Haymanot ifølge tradition; han mediterede i en hule i 29 år. Klosterets hovedabbot, kaldet Ichege, var den næstmægtigste embedsmand i den etiopiske kirke efter Abuna. Klosterkomplekset sidder på en terrasse mellem en klippe og kløften i en af sideelverne til Abbay-floden. Ingen af de originale bygninger i Debre Libanos overlever, selvom David Buxton mistænkte "der er interessante ting, der stadig findes mellem de nærliggende klipper." Nuværende bygninger inkluderer kirken over Tekle Haymanots grav, som kejser Haile Selassie beordrede til at blive bygget i 1961; en lidt ældre af Korsets kirke, hvor Buxton fik at vide, at et fragment af det sande kors er bevaret; og fem religiøse skoler. Hulen, hvor helgen boede, ligger i de nærliggende klipper, som en rejseguide beskriver som en fem minutters gang væk. Denne hule indeholder en kilde, hvis vand betragtes som hellig og er genstand for pilgrimsrejser.
Portugisisk bro nær Debre Libanos blev opført af portugiserne i det 16. århundrede; det blev faktisk bygget i slutningen af det 19. århundrede af etiopiere, omend i den gamle portugisiske stil. Den smalle rækkevidde giver et smukt billede, og den kæmpende (i regntiden) kaskade lige under den er endnu mere imponerende
Jemma-floden ind i en stor kløft ved siden af Debre Libanos og Fiche. Jemma slutter sig til Wenchit, før det når floden Abbay (Blue Nile). Jemma Valley og det omkringliggende område er kendt for fugleture-ture. Det vigtigste mål for fuglevandrere er den endemiske og rækkebegrænsede Harwoods Francolin og andre mulige steder at se: Båndet Barbet, den sortehovedede skovoriole, den hvidnærede starling, den rødbøjede starling, den hvidvingede klippechat, den hvidryggede sorte tit, den hvidbenede Turaco og Hemprichs Hornbill. Du vil også se en af Etiopiens endemiske pattedyr

Alex was a really good guide tour. We went to all the places described and he also took me to other places that I wanted to see or stopped where I want it to stop. I really recommend this tour with Alex
Went with my husband for a day trip from Addis Ababa and we love it. It is the best option if you are spending small amount of time in Addis Ababa. We would like to thank the tour guide Belete Abrham who was incredible knowledgeable, brilliant and experienced. Not forget to mention our really good driver Mussie, caution, alert and familiar with the roads. We also had a delicious typical lunch in a cozy and pretty restaurant. On the road with stop multiple times and we had the opportunity to interact with locals making the day more unforgettable.
We would like to thank you for taking your precious time for these great recommendations for other clients regarding your overall experience in Ethiopia. It is always wonderful to read that we were able to meet your expectations and our teams are always dedicated to providing you a best service. We look forward to show you the other parts of our country
The driver was wonderful-even bought me dinner and refused to accept my share. The sights were great too.
my husband booked this tour for me in Adisababa Ethiopia, because he didn’t want me just sitting around a hotel. First of all the tour did not show up. I waited in front of the hotel for one hour finally went back up to the room to search for a contact number. Viator does not print local contact numbers on their payment receipt so I had to dig in search, dig and search. One hour later I finally came across a local number. Two hours now has gone by from a pick up time. While speaking with the local representative I had invoked a refund option on this tour. He says he got that email and he wanted or suddenly demanded that I pay him in US dollars when he comes to pick me up I protestant and told him I wasn’t paying a one cent more to him. He did, however, finally show up and picked me up , we went out of town to next town where he handed me off to a driver who was actually going to do the tour. That’s when I realized that I was the only person on this tour I am a small female from US in middle of Africa, being handed off to a strange man. This made me really uneasy. the only good thing about this tour is that the driver who actually did a tour was a super nice man he did the best he could with a last minute notice. I gave him a hefty tip. I do NOT recommend Viator for any African tours. Buyerbe aware, especially if you’re a woman.
What an awesome day! Becki was a great guide and we loved the Ethiopian countryside and highlands. The food was delicious too! We were so happy with this tour!!!!
Excellent day with Becki! The Ethiopian countryside was so beautiful and we saw the gelada baboons! The Blue Nile and gorge were absolutely fantastic!
The tour operator does not shows up!!! I have called to the company before finish the booking here to confirm if it was possible to make the tour in the day after, the company owner have confirmed by phone, I proceed the booking and he stop to respond my calls and message, do not show in the hotel and to request a refund from this site you must call to USA! Its a tourist trap, do not book with this company nor from this site!
We had an amazing day trip to the Debre Libanos Monastery, the place has so much history, and we drive to the Portuguese bridge and Blue Nile gorge and it was so beautiful, we really enjoyed the view so much.
I can absolutely recommend owner Alex and guide Belete Abrham. Communication about the trip was smooth, execution and organization flawless. I was picked up in a guest house in Addis and we proceeded to the oldest monastery of Ethiopia Debre Libanos and its museums. On the way there we watched baboons called Chilada in the forest close enough to take photos. Then we proceeded to a habesha restaurant which is close to the Portuguese bridge (which is one of the oldest bridges in Ethiopia) and first did a bit of hiking near to the George of Blue Nile & Jemma Valley to enjoy some breathtaking views before lunch. These guys are professional, communicate well and I can only recommend this one day trip.
