room in lalibela

Die Unterkunft
I think you can really appreciate our room and our culture if you came to africa to discover the real Africa, how we live here and you want to live as we do. Our little house is near the Ethiopian Airlines Office and the Seven Olives hotel. During your stay you will live in our room, while we temporarily sleep at our neighbours' house. If you come, you will get the chance to stay in a real, clean, warm and lovely place. You can also lock the room from inside and outside for your security.

Zugang für Gäste
During your stay you will have the room to yourself. There is a double bed and we will provide clean sheets, blanket and towels. We have electricity in the house so you will have light, and you could watch TV and listen to music if you like. There is a tap with running cold water in the garden. The (African Style) toilet is outside the room and is shared with our neighbours in the compound. We will provide you with a bucket of hot water to wash outside of the room like we usually do as we don't have running water in the room. Otherwise, we can arrange for you to have a real european toilet and shower in a hotel close to the house. No worries, it is clean and with hot water. On your arrival we will welcome you with a traditional coffee ceremony and/or talla (local beer).

I can offer you also my services as a guide, and I'm happy to guide you on walks in the local area, or further on trekking trips. I offer 1 day treks to Ashton mountain to see the geladas (open heart baboons) or Asheton Maryam to see the beautiful mountain church. Or for the more daring 3 - 4 day trekking to abune yosef; the third highest peak in Ethiopia! Here you have the chance to see the rare Ethiopian red wolf.
I can also be your guide for other parts of your journey around Ethiopia, each trip is tailored to the guest, I accompany some on a budget wishing to travel and sleep as the locals do, I help with language barriers and keeping costs minimal, or for those who want a stress free comfortable journey, I can organise cars, hotels etc in advance and make sure you see as much as possible within the time you have, on the budget you choose.

If you want to visit our 11 amazing churches and it would be a pity for you not to see them, I can show you where is the ticket office (the price is 50 dollars for foreigners but ticket lasts for 5 days so you can take different trips, sunrise, sunset, prayer times etc). You can go by yourself or pay an official guide to explain you the story and show you everything, guides are usually about $30 depending on time of year this can vary.
