A wonderful Most of Ethiopia-trip was provided by smart planning and experienced guides and drivers
Most of our original wishes "where to go" got true and the route was perfectly planned. The very experienced and cautious drivers are outstanding as well as the guides with one specialised on the cultural part in the North and the other one well-educated in birding for the East- and South-parts of Ethiopia, where we also visited some of the Southern Nations (tribes). We also made a trecking-tour in Bale Mountains National Parc at half time of our trip, which was physically asking, but a really good experience with plenty of flora and fauna to be seen during these four days. Very good local staff prepared delicious meals and transported our camping gear by mules.
At any time (except during the trecking) we were able to communicate with the CIOs at Gondar (which was not necessary) and vice versa were informed about latest changes (like a booking confirmed in the last moment, due to a fire). Flexibility was also high as we had some special wishes concerning our foster son and his fiance living at Addis Abeba and arranging a meeting at Lalibela.
We are very pleased that our wishes for camping in the NPs were realised, a fact not regular for providers of free-planned trips.
Just to be recommended!

Trustful and knowledgeable guide
We had a wonderful safari drive with Emmanuel who was experienced and knows lots of information about local cultures. We could see almost all animals which we wanted to see, because he has experience and many network with other safari guides to exchange the information.
And what he surprised us is he always keeps time:) He is very serious when he is at work!
I highly recommend turraco as tour operator. You will get amazing experience!!

Very knowledgeable, fun, hardworking staff!
This experience was truly amazing!! Sleeping in the treehouses was an experience I would love to do again! Viva safaris provided such a fun environment. Got to see so many animals during the safaris. Truly enjoyed the meals they provided. It was also great to kickback with new friends and enjoy some Castle lites! Cheers! Would love to do this again!

African Portfolio is my go to for a trip to Africa (3 trips completed, cannot wait for the next)
African Portfolio deserves 10 stars on a 5 star scale. They have planned three different incredible safari trips for me and my husband (South Africa, Tanzania, and Botswana/Zimbabwe). I would not even consider working with anyone else to plan a trip to Africa. They go above and beyond with everything that they do (before, during, and after the trip). Their knowledge/experience, attention to detail, adaptability to budget/timing constraints, patience/kindness, and drive for excellence enables them to surpass customer expectations to deliver vacations/experiences of a lifetime.
I love international travel and do a lot of research before a trip (no matter the country/continent). African Portfolio is always very attentive to my questions and provides excellent advice. I cannot even consider doing any of the trips differently as they were perfect. We even received some personalized surprises on our trips.
I cannot wait for my next safari trip!

Erik's knowledge about the game park assured us of a great experience.
No complaints. Communications, service, arrangements, the tour itself were all flawless. Erik met us at the airstrip and was very familiar with the park so that we saw everything we wanted to see.
