Booked a solo hiking trip in Lalibella with my guide Dagm, it was honestly one of the best experiences I had while in Ethiopia. Dagm was kind and respectful throughout and we had a lot of fun together. He helped me throughout the hike and was always receptive to taking a break when I needed one. The family who ran the community house where I stayed were kind and generous and the food was great! I was on a tight time schedule due to my flights but the company ensured that I could squeeze in as much as possible in the limited time frame and got me to the airport in good time. 10/10 would recommend, especially for solo travellers!
