Wholesome experience and comfortable tour, highly recommended! - Last month, I went on a private tour to the Suba Forest with Aman Ethiopia Tours. It was a wholesome experience eating the traditional food at the highest peak and enjoying the Habeshi dancing. I also had a knowledgeable guide who deeply understood the history of his country and was extremely humble and kind. I took a short ride to the Suba forest from Addis Ababa through some little villages and towns, which was also a new experience. I had a lovely day at a locality in the forest and enjoyed my day out with a smooth and once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is a highly suggested tour for all.

A true treasure! Thanks Aman Tours! - We went on a private tour to Suba forest and then to a Habeshi dancing and traditional food restaurant at night in one day. Our guide Neway is a knowledgeable historian, who loves his country deeply, kind and humble like all Ethiopians. It’s was a short ride to Suba forest from Addis through little towns and villages which was an experience by itself. It takes a great driver to maneuver yourself on the the city roads and definitely in Suba forest, which we definitely had. Suba is precious with its unique flora and fauna. And our night out was very enjoyable. All together it was a smooth, safe once-in-a-lifetime tour. Highly recommended!

A beautiful forest! - I did this trip with Aman Ethiopia tours, and they made sure everything was great: the guide was knowledgeable and easy going, the pick-up was on time, and, of course, the forest itself was simply amazing. Since it was the rain season, and in fact, it has been raining for the last couple of days, some parts of the road got really muddy and our car got stuck. Luckily, there were some local folks passing by, and we asked them for help. Half an hour later thanks to all the effort of the team (and with the help of a tractor) we managed to get going! I’m not sure what I will remember more, - the lush green forest of Menagesha Suba, or the whole “eight-people-trying-to-get-a-van-unstuck” situation :) The forest is beautiful, - I saw a monkey, a couple of bushbacks, and a deer. The walk to the waterfall was misty, through a lusciously green and mossy forest. I could easily be hiking there all day! Overall, I highly recommend the tour to all the nature lovers.

Real forest and hospitable guides - The forest is between 2-3 hrs from Addis. Don’t be deterred by the congested and polluted road on the way out of Addis, traffic jam could be pretty bad. But once you get away from all that you would see the difficult road is all worthwhile. I would say the best place for real wilderness as close as Addis as you could get. The trees are huge, I was told some are 600 yrs old. I saw wild boars, eagle, many barboons, and heard many beautiful song birds. During the hike in the forest, we happened to witness villagers trying to cut down a tree, but thanks to our guide from the Park they were driven away. Belay from the park service was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, he speaks good English so could explain many things. Also our guide from Amman Tour, Biruk was extremely helpful and professional, and so was the driver, Afewerk.
