Excellent Walking Tour with Mulat – Highly Recommended! - I recently had a fantastic walking tour in Addis Ababa with Mulat as my guide. We started with an insightful overview of the Merkato, followed by a delicious local lunch, and then a detailed exploration of the market itself.
Mulat’s knowledge of the area is impressive, and he provided fascinating insights into the market’s history, daily life, and local culture. He was also incredibly accommodating to my special requests and made sure the tour was tailored to my interests.
Whether you’re visiting Addis Ababa for the first time or looking for a deeper understanding of the city, I highly recommend booking a tour with Mulat. His warm personality, expertise, and flexibility make the experience both enjoyable and enriching. I would definitely book with him again for any future tours in and around Addis!

A captivating experience!!! - Mulattafete was a very knowledgeable guide and made the trip great for me. He explained the history of the forest, the plants and animals in great detail. A personal highlight was being able to see the monkeys gliding through the trees as we hiked!

Amazing Mangesha - We travelled to Mangesha with Mulat and had the most fantastic experience. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the plantlife and the wildlife to see. He is passionate about hiking and the journey is a breath of fresh air (quite literally). We saw two groups of monkeys and baboons just as we were hopping into the 4x4 to return to Addis. I thoroughly recommend this experience to you, and to make contact with Mulat for even more trips across Ethiopia.

Very good - Went to the forest ,which is about 40km outside of addis ,some of the roads are poor to say the least,when at the park ,you can select which type of hike you wish,starting at 30mins upto 6hrs.
The hike itself was very good,the local guide at the park was amazing.
Then we visited a local village family to have local brew/alcohol and to drink some coffee.
Good day out and worth a look
Our guide for the day was Asmir.

Entoto mountain and city tour - I contacted Mulat from the info contact found here and he organized a personalized experience for me. Since epiphany was happening he told me that a trip to Menagesha was not possible due to road closure, but he offer to take me to a short city tour and Entoto mountain. We managed as locals to arrive there and visit the museum and taste local beer from people living around.
Because the roads were closed and everyone was in the celebration we had to walk down the road to the city, but it was interesting due to all the people on the streets!
Thanks for the trip Mulat, it was great experience!
