Excellent experience from the very beginning and beyond its end. From the moment we set contact with Aron via email to plan our trip we got the support and information we needed. He responds quickly, is very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to adapt and tailor the trip according to our needs, keeping enough flexibility to make changes “on the road” if needed. He works tirelessly to fulfill any wishes. He can only recommend him 100% Once on tour with him and Elias (a great driver!) you feel like you are family, not just “visiting” but experiencing culture firsthand. We left with two friends in Jinka, who we hope to see again!
Wonderful experience

I had a trip to Ethiopia with my friend, and we traveled from Addis Ababa to Jinka, where we met Aaron and Elias. They gave us a very warm welcome, and from there, our incredible journey began. We visited various tribes, and Aaron was not only highly professional and knowledgeable about the history and culture of the region, but he also knew the best places to enjoy authentic Ethiopian cuisine, which we truly appreciated. Aaron was like a friend and a brother, always looking out for us. When my friend fell ill during the trip, their kindness and assistance turned what could have been a difficult moment into a manageable one. Throughout the journey, their approach was very friendly and caring, making us feel like part of a family. We felt extremely safe and got to see so many beautiful places. I would choose Aaron again if I ever travel to Ethiopia in the future. We still stay in touch, and I know I can rely on him if I have any questions or need help. He gave us the wonderful feeling of having made a true friend in that country. Aaron’s tours are enjoyable, engaging, and can be truly unique. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.
