Above and beyond expectations
I am a solo female traveler and this was my very first trip to Africa. From the very beginning Armaye was so helpful, flexible and responsive. Once I arrived, Armaye was there to greet me and bring me back to the hotel before a week of hiking in the Simien mountains and then the Bale mountains. I never once felt unsafe and his team was beyond caring and attentive in both the North and the South. Armaye and his team made this trip so memorable and I have so much respect for the people of Ethiopia and my time spent in such a beautiful place. It’s important to me that I used a local company as well, not only do they know the land better then anyone, but all the proceeds go directly to the people that need it most. I highly recommend Armaye Tours, and if I visit Ethiopia again in the future it will absolutely be through his company.

Armaye was extremely helpful, accommodating and professional in planning our tour.
Our 17 day tour was an experience we would recommend. The tour was well planned and covered many different areas of the country. The hotels were well chosen and comfortable. The guides were knowledgeable and helpful. We could not have made a better choice than Armaye Ethiopia Tours. They went well beyond what was expected. Our arrival was unfortunately delayed by two days. But when we arrived at 1:00am two days late, Armaye was at the airport waiting for us. And our tour had been reworked so we did not miss any of the high points. When I took ill (nothing to do with the tour or country), the guide made sure I got immediate care and treated me like a mother hen. We have traveled for many years to many places, but this would be one of the best tour operators we hav encountered.

A wonderful two week trip to Ethiopia
We had the Ethniopian Mammal Watching tour for 14 days; the initially 12-day program itself was adjusted and extended by two days.
Armaye knows the nature of Ethiopia and its inhabitants very well. Since we were focused on locating and photographing animals, he fully supported us in this task and gave us great assistance in identifying those species with which we had questions. It was very interesting to discuss the animals of Ethiopia with him! It’s great that he implemented his area of interest and knowledge into his own business.
All Armaye team members are friendly and responsible, you can absolutly trust them.
The nature of Ethiopia is very different depending on the parts of the country and is very beautiful and even fantastic.
We also got to know the local cuisine and its specialties.
We will miss the time spent and the company of our new friends on this trip. But I think we will be back in the future!
If you are planning to travel to Ethiopia, I would recommend traveling with Armaye Ethiopia Tours.

Excellent Mammal watching tour
I went on a 2 weeks private tour with Armaye as my guide in November/December 2023 and the organization was excellent. From the initial enquiry over the last few years! until I was safely back home, Armaye communicated quickly, clearly and accurately. He was very flexible with the itinerary too being open to amendments, which I did twice.
This was my 2nd trip to Ethiopia and it was much better than my first one in 2009. My interest was mostly with mammals and planned my tour accordingly, which took me to Bale Mountains (Harenna Forest, Sannetti Plateue, Gassay), Hwassa, Lake Langano. Awash NP and Alideghe Game Reserve. I found all my key targets and the sightings were sensational. He even knew where to find a pack of the endangered Ethiopian Wolfs! His knowledge on where to find wildlife enabled me to get some great pictures and films.
We had a very nice driver and, for a few days, also a brilliant cook and both spoke excellent English and were really good company. Additional guides with local knowledge were waiting for us where needed.
All worked like a swiss clock and the only time I needed to use money was for some few personal expenses.
I will for sure be back again as the country offers a lot.
I could not recommend Armaye Tours more.
Very competent and professional
My wife and I have just returned from a week in Ethiopia. Our trip was organised by Armaye Tours and we could not have been more satisfied. From the initial enquiry until we were safely back home, Armaye communicated quickly, clearly and accurately. We felt in very safe hands.
It was our first visit to Ethiopia so we kept it short but we will surely be back to see more of this beautiful country. Our interest is birds and we asked Armaye to put together a brief but full itinerary. He recommended three night in the Bale mountains and two at Lake Langano. He certainly knows what he’s talking about because the birds were sensational.
We had a driver and a guide and both spoke excellent English and were really good company. Additional guides with local knowledge were waiting for us both in the mountains and at the lake.
I was particularly impressed that everything was paid for. There were no surprises and the only time we needed to use money was for tips.
Excellent organisation, clear and timely communication and a real personal touch. I recommend Armaye Tours highly.
