Sahlie and his team are greatIf you are thinking of booking a Simien Tour, Sahlie and his team are the best option. Everything seemed so seamless and without any issues, probably because they have done this 1000 times before. Food, logistics, sleeping arrangements, etc. are all like clockwork. As a guide, Sahlie is knowledgeable, speaks increadible English, and is very responsive. As for the national park, it's just beathtaking and increadible. Sooo many 10/10 views, its insane. I really enjoyed my 3 days there.
