Highly recommended Tour

I joined this tour on a recommendation from a friend, and I’m so glad I did. As a solo traveler, I was honestly a bit nervous at first, but from the moment the tour started, all my worries quickly disappeared. I spent 12 amazing days traveling from Addis Ababa all the way to Bale Mountains, and the experience was far beyond my expectations. My guide, Afework, and driver, Thomas, were incredibly professional, kind, and attentive throughout the journey. They didn’t treat me like just another tourist, but more like a close family member, which made the whole experience feel very special and personal. Every part of the trip was well-organized, smooth, and full of memorable moments. By the end of the tour, I even felt emotional when Thomas dropped me off at Bale airport it really felt like saying goodbye to friends. A big thank you as well to Biniam for arranging everything so perfectly. The entire trip was seamless and thoughtfully planned. I highly recommend this tour operator to anyone, especially solo travelers who may feel unsure at first. You will be in great hands. I will definitely come back again, next time with my family!

Exccellent and very organized team..

We booked our tour through the company website after finding them on Google while searching for an Africa trip. This was our first time visiting Africa, and from the beginning Biniam was very helpful, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond. He arranged an amazing 14-day tour covering both North and South Ethiopia, and every single day brought something new and unforgettable. We visited incredible places including Omo Valley, Lalibela, Danakil Depression, Simien Mountains, and Gondar. The experiences, culture, landscapes, and history were beyond our expectations. Our guide Yohanes and driver Abel were outstanding throughout the journey. They treated us with great care and kindness, always making sure we were comfortable. Abel often surprised us by bringing fresh fruits during the long drives, which we really appreciated. The whole team worked very hard to make the tour successful, even during the fuel shortages. Their professionalism and dedication were impressive. We especially appreciated the warm welcome, farewell dinner, and the beautiful cotton scarf gift at the end of the trip. One small suggestion regarding the Danakil tour is that more attention should be given to cleaning plastic waste and protecting the environment. Overall, we had an unbelievable experience in Ethiopia and truly recommend this company to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized adventure.
