In spite of the travel restrictions and other unexpected closures, Travel Africa tours was able to put together a tour itinerary for me to see Ethiopia. The tour company even made it possible for me to do additional activities that I wanted to do. I highly recommend Travel Africa Tours for your touring needs and Ethiopia and throughout Africa.

We were lucky in travelling at a time with few tourists but had a fantastic time. The company was well organised and very honest. We had good information on the trip and what was expected. Our driver/guide was the perfect balance between giving us interesting information but at the same time allowing us to explore and ask questiions that interested us. The visits to traditional tribes were senstively done and visits were playful and fun. While we were in Addis the company took good care of us. Gasaw was very professional and attentive to our needs. He took us to a very traditional coffee shop which we woud never have found on our own . The traditional dinner dancing and singing was truely memoral.

We were fortunate to get Gish Abay as our local Travel &Tour agent and he planned an excellent 8 days trip in Ethiopia, where we got to see and enjoy all that we wanted to. The Stay and Travel arrangements and Guide services were good and I will strongly recommend Gish Abay to travellers wanting to explore the Best of Ethiopia in a short trip like ours.

It was my first time ever in Africa and in Ethiopia more in particular. I just had a 18 hours transit time. This could be an excellent opportunity to have some sightseeing, so I booked this tour via Viator. Guide Mr Hailu picked me up at the airport spot on time. While negotiating ourselves through the traffic jam of Addis Ababa, Mr Hailu kept on talking in a very interesting way about his city and his country. He is very knowledgeable and not a second boring. Nothing was to much for him and on my request we drove to the national telecom operator to buy a SIM card so that at least my office could reach me if there was something urgent. After driving to the busy city, he took us on one of the hills where we could have a very scenic view over the city and we got a bit immersed in the village life. Mr Hailu was so kind to leave the big road and drive through countryside to show the contrast. We also visited the National Museum. I had the impression that Mr Hailu must have been born there, cause he could talk about very object on display in a very interesting and entertaining way. It was not just a museum visit. It was an immersion in the culture of a beautiful an peaceful country and we were time travelling in the rich history of Ethiopia. Pity tripadvisor has only 5 stars to quote. This trip would have been rated a lot more ! Finally we went to a resort some 50 km out of the city at the side of a lake. There I could taste the delicious Ethiopian local dishes and ... of course, end with a cup of Ethiopian black gold : their excellent coffee. Pity my stay in Addis Ababa was rather short. I enjoyed every second of it !!!

I traveled to Ethiopia on my own and while I was there I decided to purchase Simien Image Tour & Travel's "Hawassa and Rift Valley Lakes – Two Days Tour." I had difficulties with paying because I was new to experience of financial transactions in Ethiopia, being it was my first time visiting, and my bank in America was having issues with processing some transactions. Alexander Kemal was extremely patient with me and eventually everything was worked out. The morning of the tour's first day the driver was prompt with picking me up from the hotel and we were off. When he told me we were doing to get my tour guide I nonchalantly thought to myself "for what reason!" I wasn't concerned about having a tour guide, just getting to Hawassa and seeing what was on the way there. To my surprise Candy Walker, my tour guide, was an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable on the history and various cultures of Ethiopia, therefore I learned a lot in two days. Buze, the driver, was the perfect driver for this road trip and was fabulous DJ! He knew all the scenic stops, all the best foods to order whenever we ate, where to get the best buna in Shashamene, and he's even a decent dancer while driver. I saw and experienced way more than I thought I would and I am eternally thankful that I happened to call the business that day. One business transaction, and a two day tour was enough to establish the foundation for a several friendships that I am appreciative of. I will definitely be recommending your business to any and everyone.

●Our English tour guide was Maereg Tefere, a humble person with immense knowledge of churches and its history. He’s very friendly and caring all the time. We were 5 people visiting the churches in Lalibela and he was just walking us and simply explaining the background, the differences between churches, the Orthodox practices, the activities there… Sometime we couldn’t completely understand probably because he’s telling story quite fast. But we were able to ask any question and we enjoyed his company. ●The churches stood there for almost one thousand years which were built (carved/dug) in well-scaled plan in a short period of time. When we actually saw them with our own eyes, it was just unbelievable! ●Afterwards Maereg helped us buying local piece of fabrics for covering our heads at Misa the next day and we discussed about the culture, economy and the current society, everything. That day was great. ●The churches tour is highly recommended. (If you’re not religious, you would still feel speechless as knowing story behind while seeing it!) Also thanks to Maereg.

From the meeting of these two gentlemen I knew my day was going to be spectacular . I was greeted so kindly like i knew these brothers from long ago. Ashanavi ; very humble driver made sure that we got to our destinations safely and efficiently; I felt like I did not go on the trip solo with my buddy Ash. Alex is extremely knowledgeable about the history, context of Addis Ababa and also the checkpoints we encountered ; like this man is a human encyclopedia; really impressed. Any questions that could be asked he would know the answers to . Very amicable , everyone favors him . So many great things can be said that I can put in context of words . Please tour with these guys, you will not regret your time. Seriously !!!
