5.00Participated in the trip "North and South Ethiopia" in January 2026 (3.1-18.1.2026).Had great expectations or of the trip and these were met beyond moderation.Relevant was the tour guide by Mr.Getnet Mulugeta, who made us very close to the country, the population and life in Ethiopia, saw the safety of the group as a priority and made necessary changes by suggestion, helps us from unnecessary strain, had the best networking, and informed us moodily about everything.Visiting a school (with school funds gladly funded by us), visiting a Christmas fair and arranging the visit with sensitivity of the indigenous tribes in the south, who were a foreign world for us.Genet was a guarantor for the success of this trip and set many activities apart from his profession and he can still do a lot to establish sustainable tourism.Promote and support him, because he is a jewel of your state!!!!CHAPEAU!!

5.00We toured northern and southern Ethiopia with Getnet as our guide and it was an unforgettable experience. Every day we were allowed to experience a different highlight. None of my trips have been so authentic. Organization and planning top, couldn't get better. Big praise and thanks to Getnet, who brought us so close to his home country and the people.
A top trip with an excellent guide Getnet

5.00On our four-week trip through Ethiopia, we had an excellent tour guide with Getnet. His knowledge and competence impressed us greatly. He brought us closer to the land, history and people. We would love to travel to Ethiopia again under Getnet's guidance. Thank you for the wonderful time.
Dedicated & trusted agency

5.00We are traveling with a Womo group from Switzerland to South Africa, Getnet has guided and accompanied us through Ethiopia. He is a very dedicated person, very trustworthy and a good organizer. Everything worked out fine. Since we could not drive ourselves in the north of Ethiopia for safety reasons, a plane and bus trip was organized. Getnet, his agency and his home country Ethiopia are highly recommended.

5.00On a tour with the RV to Africa, the wait for the shipment became an experience thanks to Getnet. Always flexible, ultra-fast, full of ideas and empathy for all our wishes and worries. Thanks to Getnet, the mood and atmosphere was always positive and optimistic despite all the challenges. Ethiopia was quite foreign to us and now we are deeply immersed in the cultures of the cradle of humanity. Thanks also for organizing Gerd's birthday. If Ethiopia, then only with Getnet!!! Maria, Gerd & Bernhard

5.00A really interesting trip. Thanks to the excellent guide Getnet, we learned about many aspects of the country. Whether it was culture, history, religion or the population, our guide explained all of this and much more to us. We are already thinking about traveling to the south of the country with him.
A fascinating country - get more with Getnet!
