A Wonderful Ethiopian Experience
This 2-week holiday was not on my "bucket list". Friends on a previous holiday at the end of last year said that it was one of the most fantastic holidays that they'd ever been on. The time to go was during the Timkat Festival so I booked it straight away on my return as it was getting close to Epiphany. I hadn't realised the country was so mountainous and green.

This 2-week holiday was not on my "bucket list". Friends on a previous holiday at the end of last year said that it was one of the most fantastic holidays that they'd ever been on. The time to go was during the Timkat Festival so I booked it straight away on my return as it was getting close to Epiphany. I hadn't realised the country was so mountainous and green. There is a contrast between city living and the countryside which is still as it was centuries ago. The people are very friendly and helpful and there is so much colour in the markets. The standard of the hotels was much better than I'd expected and I enjoyed experiencing a variety of Ethiopian cuisine. The local wine was very good as well. I enjoyed the beautiful countryside and the guides were keen to point out the animals, birds and flora and fauna. I was very impressed with the churches, particularly Lalibela and will have many fond memories of my stay.
Rating for tour operator:Undiscovered Destinations is a small company specialising in out of the ordinary holidays for small groups. It makes a great effort to understand the traveller and ensure that each experience is memorable. The itineraries are well thought out and the organisation is efficient and comprehensive. I will certainly consider travelling on holidays with them in the future.
Ethiopia really is a wonderful destination that has a great mix of history, culture and wildlife. The Timkat Festival is a great time to visit and we are delighted you enjoyed the tour.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Fascinating country, wonderful people
The Burmese people were wonderful; polite, happy, elegant and colourful. We felt we had a glimpse of a country as it really is - not manufactured experiences for tourists. Lots of amazing Buddha stupas, statues and temples - each one bigger and more gold than the last!

Rating for tour operator:Very efficient and helpful booking service in the UK. A pleasant and helpful guide in Burma, and everything went very smoothly. Her English could have been better, but despite that, she made the holiday a wonderul experience.

Rating for tour operator:Undiscovered Destinations produced an excellent itinerary and a very good value for money trip.
Unusual experiences in an unusual country
The tour of Somaliland was not full of must-sees, but was instead an opportunity to meet plenty of the famously hospitable Somali people and to see what we could of the countryside, the ancient rock art sites and the major towns of the region. Comfortably paced, the tour used good quality accommodation and the food provided was excellent.

Rating for tour operator:I have used Undiscovered Destinations before and like their style of trips, using local accommodation and with plenty of authentic experiences included.
Fantastic
Good variety of experience from true decadence to physical challenges. Varied places, peoples and experiences made this a memorable destination that has undergone such change in recent years and is likely to change so much more in coming years. Guides in all locations were so knowledgeable and enhanced our holiday experience immeasurably with the bits you can't find out yourself
