Addis Ababa: Debre Libanos, Blue Nile Gorge, and Cave Tour

2.Debre Libanos, Blue Nile Gorge, and Cave Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 256 reviews · 8 hours · from $94

From Addis Ababa, see Debre Libanos, Blue Nile Gorge, Portuguese Bridge, and a cave church with gelada baboons and Entoto Hill views.

“A great day trip north of Addis Ababa with stunning views and cultural highlights. Allen, our guide, was very knowledgeable and engaging — he had so much to share, which I truly enjoyed. Unfortunately, we couldn’t enter the Debre Libanos monastery due to a service taking place when we arrived. The Blue Nile Gorge and cave visit were both scenic and peaceful. However, pick-up was delayed due to a fuel issue, which affected our schedule and made the tour feel rushed. With better coordination and planning, especially for timing and logistics, this could have been a perfect experience.”

Communication with the team was always easy and smooth. I especially enjoyed the tour with the guides Olinol and Abrham, as well as our driver Amtachew.
