Bale Mountains National Park is suitably a walking, trekking and hiking area for hikers, culture and nature enthusiasts, wildlife watchers, researchers and more. The park is known for being home to the Ethiopian wolf, mountain nyala, giant molerat and Bale monkey. UNESCO has estimated that more mammal species would become extinct were the habitats of the Bale Mountains to decline than if any other area of equivalent size on the globe were to disappear and, when this is combined with rare amphibian species, endemic birds and spectacular flora, it is easy to see why the park is designated as a Biodiversity Hotspot by Conservation International.

In February this year (2021) I was in Ethiopia for the fourth time. This time I have been also in the Bale Mountains. It is not without reason that they say that these are some mountains and many worlds. There are many deer in the Dinsho Park. The Sanetti Plateau is a colorful plateau. Harenna Forest is a fairy-tale forest. and of course Tulu Dimptu - 4,377 meters above sea level. It's cold in the mountains. You need take a warm coat. But impressions are not forgotten for a lifetime! My guide in Bale was Ibrahim Ahmed ( phone/ WhatsApp +251912255345 ) I higly recommended him! He is very sympa and friendly person!

I've got the best possible service, as for me. I had a really good guide and great driver. He was very attentive: I did video on the way with opened windows and driver closed window for safety and said me I can continue to video street life. I liked traditional clothing market a lot: if you want to have really beautiful souvenir from Ethiopia, I think Shiromeda ( I'm not sure, if I wrote it correctly..) is the best possible place)) I really highly appreciative for the service I had. We visited Mercato market and I felt totally safe there: without a guide I would never go there. But with the guide it was very interesting and safe visit. The tour is flexible and it's great: you can choose what is interesting for you. We bought good coffee on the way and also I've tasted avocado and mango juice)) The owner of company is great and treated me in the best way)) Highly recommended Ethio Travel and Tours for your tours through Ethiopia and Addis.

Just returned from 11 day Ethiopia tour with Alenehe as our guide. It was an interesting and enlightening tour covering major sites including the spectacular Lalibela-alone worth a visit to Ethiopia. Challenging driving on less than great roads but incredible mountain scenery and opportunity to see smaller cities and villages experiencing local life along the way. Comfortable hotels, great local foods. Alenehe was a great guide,accommodating and enjoyable/fun company.

My wife and I so enjoyed our tour of Northern Ethiopia with Ethio USA Tours in February 2019 that we invited two relatives and two very dear friends to accompany us on a return visit of sixteen days in January 2020 with the same agency. We slightly expanded our previous itinerary to include tours and overnights in Addis Ababa, Debre Markos, Bahir Dar, Gonder, Aksum, Mekele, Lalibela, and Desse. We worked closely with Ethio USA Tours to plan the follow-on tour. All aspects of the visit went flawlessly, thanks to our alert, capable driver Haile Mariam and our knowledgeable, helpful, and resourceful guide, Mulugeta Dubale. Our guide not only explained Ethiopian history, culture, and religion clearly and in context, but with enthusiasm and pride. Mulugeta also helped us with thoughtful suggestions to our numerous requests regarding food and drink choices, souvenir purchases, and how to benefit the most from using our free time effectively. Our overnight accommodations outside of Addis Ababa were all satisfactory or better. In Addis Ababa, we stayed in an excellent hotel (Nexus). Northern Ethiopia has high mountains, deep valleys, and fertile plateaus, and an interesting and ancient history and culture. The staff of Ethio USA Tours contributed significantly to helping us understand, appreciate, and enjoy the beauty and diversity of Northern Ethiopia.

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.

The guide was really professional knowledgeable and friendly during the whole day. Eventhough i ve been staying in addis for 4 months he managed to make me discover nice places that i had no idea about, not only the contractual places as stated in the tour description. I do recommend Aspire Ethiopia Tours to anyone willing to have a quick and good knowledge of addis and Ethiopia history as whole to make this experience.
