We spent 4 nights in Lalībela. Muleye showed and explained everything about the rock churches and we also hiked to the nearby monastry. Muleyes knowledge and the passion for the churches is really great and it‘s a pleasure to listen when he explains history and actual behaviors. A real highlight was the cooking evening together with his family. From Lalibela we went to visit Erta Ale and the Danakil Depression. Also here we had a fantastic time with Muleye and enjoyed the unbelievable colors and the active vulcano. We highly recommand Muleye and his company and Hope to come back soon.

We did two trips with the organisation, a five days trip to Lalibela an a day trip to Debre Libanos. It was fantastic, Muluye is an excellent ambassador of his country and his culture.
