MAYLEKO LODGE, GONDAR

STONE BUNGALOWS

King Fasiledes could not have imagined the modern style of Mayleko Lodge, which is a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Gondar city.

There is something satisfyingly simple, and undeniably elegant, about the individual stone bungalows at Mayleko Lodge. Outside they draw architectural inspiration from traditional Northern Ethiopian homes; built from local stone with thatched roofs and porches or verandas.

Inside they are uncluttered, featuring just a few, very carefully chosen pieces of traditional furniture. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood air and light, accentuating the dark wooden floors and white walls.

To experience a very different Ethiopia, it’s a short drive to the Royal Enclosure of King Fasiledes and wander around the ancient towers, archways and turrets. Or, alternatively, ride on horseback into the magnificent countryside that stretches out from Mayleko towards the majestic Dilha Mountain range. All part of a tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”

Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
