Beyond Extraordinary!!
There really isn’t enough I can say to describe the kindness, care and intelligence Maereg and his company gift to visitors in Ethiopia. I have been with them three times there now, and every day blows my mind – in all the best ways.
Not only do the staff and drivers know everything you may be interested in about their country, they are devoted to their communities and business. They solve problems, refine itineraries, search for fuel, and protect your safety above all else.
My visit to Lalibela was the climax of my trips to Ethiopia. The Orthodox Church there is profoundly supported everywhere, and guides so many people to generosity and inclusion, it is truly extraordinary. I am not a religious person myself, and it takes a leap of faith to believe the rock churches were built in just 20 years (I’m sure one day this will be re-examined, but faithful people there cling to the legend and would prefer to not see such evidence), but being in those awesome places with a guide who really understands and believes in their importance and meaning made the trip worthwhile.
Extraordinary Ethiopia Tours has its own 4X4 vehicle now, and they are moving forward with business plans despite the war that is crippling tourism everywhere. If you know Maereg, or his brother Abayu (the ‘Mayor of Addis’), then you also know their friends and circles. This is probably one of their greatest strengths. When I visit, I feel like a brother, a partner, a respected visitor and an honored guest. With inside access to unexpected and awesome experiences daily.
Travelling in Ethiopia is never easy; it is one of the most challenging countries I have visited. It requires patience, attention, willpower and physical ability. Having said that, even at 62 I manage somehow because Mareg, Abauy and their associates guide my body and spirit. I have learned so much from them, I know we will be brothers forever.
I recommend them without reservation. You can not find a better tour agent than Extraordinary Ethiopia Tours!

Great!
Very professional from the begining to the end. Personalized package. Great experience!
Go the extra mile!
Extraordinary Ethiopia Tours was a wonderful tour operator during my time in Lalibela. The guide, Ermiyas, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. His love and passion for the town and especially the churches shines through. When some activities did not work out as planned, EET went out of their way to find alternative options for me. Great experience for a solo traveller!

trustable
Interesting visit to Lalibela churches. We did it i just one day. Starting in the afternoon and finishing the morning after.

Professional, ambitious and energetic
Choosing a tour operator is a risky business. You pay thousands of dollars in advance and you will experience the service only afterwards.
I can guarantee on my behalf, that doing business with Extraordinary Ethiopia tours and Mareg is absolutely a safe business from the first step of communication until the very end of the journey.
After having followed an itinerary of 15 nights and 16 days in Ethiopia I am more than grateful to Maereg and his team, that I had a truly great, a sort of a once-in-a-lifetime tour. Everything worked perfectly. There wasn't any issue, that I felt sorry of.
To be honest: I fell in love with Ethiopia.
I had s solo safari to Bale mountains, Omo Valley tribes, Gondar and Lalibela. All the arrangements were better than expected: In Addis Abeba I was welcomed by the efficient "liaison officer" Habtu. In my safari journey driver BK was just brilliant, Toyota Landcruiser wonderful, accommodation exceeding all the expectations, meals great and Maereg kept on following all my moves daily.
I felt that I was in safe hands all the time.
Ethiopia is an amazing country. Ethiopians are incredibly kind and nice. I wish I could have stayed longer. But decided already to return.
I can warmly recommend Maereg and his mates to any type of traveller. His team is professional, energetic and ambitious and do not leave even the slightest detail unchecked. They do want to introduce and show their country to you, and they do it with love!❤️
