    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.
