Northern Ethiopia with guide Muluken Girma - 7 days in October 2017

Reviewed November 3, 2017

I just finished a great 7-day trip with Muluken Girma through northern Ethiopia, in mid October 2017.

We traveled to: Bahir Dar, Gondar,Simien Mountains NP, Axum, Lalibela and Addis Ababa. Ethiopia is an amazingly beautiful place; the people are the friendliest you will find. Make the trip and you will not be disappointed. I will refrain from making this a review of Ethiopia its cities/sites, and focus on a review of Muluken as my guide on this trip.

I don’t think my trip and time with Muluken could have gone any smoother. All of our communication prior to the trip was detailed and timely. All transportation was safe, comfortable and clean. The drivers Muluken hired for us were all friendly to travel with and talk to, some of these drivers we send multiple days with. This also included a boat in Bahir Dar.

The lodging that Muluken had recommended or provided in places I could not book on-line, were all good places. Some were great places, like Bahir Dar , Simien Mountains NP & Lalibela.

Muluken provided great opportunities to talk with and interact with locals throughout the trip, stopping on the roadside to visit with families, farmers or walking through busy local markets, and many others. These were some of my favorite experiences.

Muluken was always providing me with great information about the people and places we were experiencing as well as Ethiopian history and culture. His knowledge is one of his most impressive skills. Muluken also provided great local guides at some of the specific sites for even more detailed information; all of these were good experiences.

I always felt safe with Muluken and that he was always looking out for us and looking for unique opportunities to experience Ethiopia. Muluken is a clean, organized and thoughtful man. I could continue with praise but I think you get the point. If you have the opportunity to travel with Muluken you will not be disappointed.

Great mix of activities

As a solo traveler, Muluken and our driver went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.  The tour itself was great, and was a nice mix of activities to do in a single day.  Looking forward to my next trip!

City Tour of Addis Ababa

Reviewed October 9, 2017

Muluken was a fantastic guide on my one day tour of Addis. Not only did he show me all the main sights but even showed me the local hospitality and a chance to try "tella" on our trip back from Entoto. I was in Addis for a work trip, and had a spare day to see the sights. I was a little worried about booking alone as a woman on my own, but Muluken put me straight at ease. His local knowledge was fantastic and English superb. And he even laughed at my jokes!! A very memorable day, and I will be choosing Muluken for my next adventure when in Ethiopia!

Top Notch

Reviewed September 16, 2017

I did a custom two day trip excursion with Muluken to the key sites both north and south of Addis Ababa and I could not have hoped for a better experience. Very knowledgeable, easy going, prompt,  and flexible. In addition him and the driver with both great conversationalists, the time on the road passed quickly. In short, he delivered an experience, not a tour. In addition he attend to the small details in ensuring my comfort. 

Outstanding.  Completely exeded my expectations.
