My name is Abdisa Ahmed, and I was born in Bale Dinsho, in the heart of the Bale Mountains.I am the founder of Bale Mountains Brilliant Tours, Ethiopia.At the age of 19, I began working for Bale Mountains National Park as a guide and lodge assistant.During this time, I worked with numerous researchers interested in the area’s birdlife, wildlife, plant life and ecosystems.After some time, I sought out and successfully received a diploma in ‘Tourism Management’ from Madawelabu University in Bale Robe, Ethiopia. Afterwards, I again started work as a freelance guide who specialized in Bale but travelled extensively throughout Ethiopia, especially for those who were interested in bird watching, wildlife viewing and cultural excursions.I have dedicated myself to this work and improving the services I provide.I have successfully completed numerous guide training programs provided by the Frankfurt Zoological Society, and I’m always learning from my experiences with clients.Recently, I have decided to start this tour company as a continuation of improving the quality of tourism services that I provide and those provided in Bale.Although I specialize in tour guiding throughout Bale, my work has taken me throughout Ethiopia, and I have become familiar with all the popular tourist destinations that the country has to offer.I am also knowledgeable about Ethiopian history, numerous Ethiopian cultures and Ethiopia’s natural history.I am fluent in Amharic, Afan Oromo and English.
