KURIFTU, LAKE TANA

WONDERFUL SUNSETS

A lake almost 100 km long, speckled with 30 forgotten islands – some with ancient monasteries. Wonderful sunsets. And, of course, Kuriftu itself.

Lake Tana has to be one of the memory high points of any tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia. Which makes the Kuriftu Resort & Spa a natural choice when you’re planning your itinerary. Set on the banks of the lake, the Kuriftu Resort is in an enviable position. The lake begs to be explored. So a boat will take you off to visit some of the 30 islands, to discover timeless monasteries and churches. Back on shore, you can cool off in the resort’s large pool, bask on the sun terrace and indulge in gourmet local cuisine, served in an elegant restaurant overlooking the water.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”
Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91³Ô¹Ï and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
