Our Ethiopian experience from Germany: - We traveled deep all over Ethiopia with certified driver-guide MIKE, with his "The Travelers Car," who connects you authentically with the people and history as well as places worth visiting. "The Travelers Car" and Miko, with his memorable and creative car, are among the best tour operators we have ever met. Very professional, thorough, humorous, guest-friendly, multilingual, and very likeable as a person. His four-wheel drive is recognized all over Ethiopia and other countries.
