I have been to Didupe and Ermayi Waterfalls Trekking before. It was a fantastic experience, I've never had so much fun in my life. The views were spectacular, the trek was challenging but not too difficult, great accommodation, and the guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant. I will definitely be going back again
It's been a day, and I can't stop thinking about the trekking experience. I'm still so amazed by how we crossed those rivers and how we were able to see animals up close. It was a really challenging day and very empowering. We were all strangers before this trip, but now we are so much closer
I had a wonderful experience! I loved the scenery and the friendly staff. It was such a refreshing treat to take a break from the city
