Gorgeous forest, and the team took such good care of me and were very welcoming and informative. I also hugely enjoyed seeing a little bit of Ethiopia outside of Addis. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in hiking or nature. We also saw some animals!

I recently had a fantastic walking tour in Addis Ababa with Mulat as my guide. We started with an insightful overview of the Merkato, followed by a delicious local lunch, and then a detailed exploration of the market itself. Mulat’s knowledge of the area is impressive, and he provided fascinating insights into the market’s history, daily life, and local culture. He was also incredibly accommodating to my special requests and made sure the tour was tailored to my interests. Whether you’re visiting Addis Ababa for the first time or looking for a deeper understanding of the city, I highly recommend booking a tour with Mulat. His warm personality, expertise, and flexibility make the experience both enjoyable and enriching. I would definitely book with him again for any future tours in and around Addis!

I contacted Mulat from the info contact found here and he organized a personalized experience for me. Since epiphany was happening he told me that a trip to Menagesha was not possible due to road closure, but he offer to take me to a short city tour and Entoto mountain. We managed as locals to arrive there and visit the museum and taste local beer from people living around. Because the roads were closed and everyone was in the celebration we had to walk down the road to the city, but it was interesting due to all the people on the streets! Thanks for the trip Mulat, it was great experience!
A most incredible tour the beautiful country

Mulattafete was a very knowledgeable guide and made the trip great for me. He explained the history of the forest, the plants and animals in great detail. A personal highlight was being able to see the monkeys gliding through the trees as we hiked!

We travelled to Mangesha with Mulat and had the most fantastic experience. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the plantlife and the wildlife to see. He is passionate about hiking and the journey is a breath of fresh air (quite literally). We saw two groups of monkeys and baboons just as we were hopping into the 4x4 to return to Addis. I thoroughly recommend this experience to you, and to make contact with Mulat for even more trips across Ethiopia. His contact details are: WhatsApp +251 944132781 Phone call 0944132781 Email [email protected] (Also, top tip for Ethiopia, just bring USD, it's very sought after and can land you some great discounts)
Beautiful! With the best guide

We only had a short time in Ethiopia and were desperate to get out into the forest after reading some of the other reviews. I rang Mulat with a day's notice. He was reasonable and welcoming. The tour around the park was incredible, Mulat is very knowledgeable and kind. We were even lucky enough to see monkeys and baboons. If you're traveling in Addis contact Mulat and ask him about the many tours he offers. He is highly recommended. Number: +251 944132781 Email: [email protected]
