    Highly recommended. Great communication from start to finish and good value for money. The hotels were solid, the cars were comfortable, and the guides were top quality. But the best part was how they take care of you: I missed an internal flight and later got sick, and they helped right away—no stress, no excuses, just solutions. Trustworthy team.

  • The BEST tour experience ever!

    The tour was perfect! I was a female solo traveler from China, and the owner (Melese) took super good care of me. Melese was super responsive, organized and responsible, and was able to tailor the itinerary when I missed a domestic flight. He had close contacts with the local guides and made each part of the tour smooth and comfortable. During this ten day tour I was able to visit both the north and the south, which was super efficient comparing to many other tours. I was so lucky to find this tour and Melese which made the Ethiopia experience upgraded to next level.
