Perfect organisation - We made a personalised tour of Ethiopia together with Abraham: we told him the imprescindibile highlights we wanted to see and how many days we had in total and he organised a tour perfectly fitting for our needs. We had a different, passionate local guide in every place we went. Particularly impressive our 3 days in Danakil and the market and mass experiences in Lalibela.

Roof of Africa - Me and my father had a great time in ethiopia. Everything was well organized by Abraham. The different guides and drivers had been very kind and courteous to us which made us feel very welcome. All in all the trip couldn‘t be any better and we saw a lot of beautiful places in the country.

this will change your life - This was the best trip of my life! I am very grateful to the team and our guide Fish for such an experience. This is something that everyone should go through to rethink their lives. The conditions were extreme, but the team did everything to make us as comfortable as possible. We were fed very tasty, at night we slept like babies on clean bed linen. We were in places of crazy beauty!!! Dallol will forever remain in my heart. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives! Thank you!
