Great 5 day hike in Bale Mountains
Our 5 day hike in Bale mountains was great. Armaye and the team are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The terrain is beautiful and varied and overall was a a great experience. Would definitely recommend Armaye and this hike to anyone wanting nature.

Very complex offer and our whole family was taken care on excellenf level.
We have spent 8 days in Ethiopia together with my wife and two of our daughters (9&6). Thanks to good organisation and complex offer that Armaye has presented to us we could focus on joy, culture, food and animalss. Everything went excellent ! Our younger daughter had her 6th birthday during this trip - Armaye has organized for us birthday cake - that was amazing gesture of flexibility from his side.

A very professional and human tour operator
Armaye is the best guide I met in Ethiopia (I traveled in the country during 6 weeks) ! He is very human, listen to the needs of his clients and above all he is so passionate about nature ! For sure you will have an unforgettable trip with Armaye

Highlight of our trip to East Africa
My partner and I flew down from Addis for a four day, three night tour of Bale Mountains National Park with Armaye in November 2022. It was truly beautiful - a highlight of our trip to East Africa - and I’d highly recommend it.
The park is gorgeous and we saw several ecosystems and many different types of animals - so many birds, different monkeys, antelopes, warthogs, a mountain civet, many wolves, etc.
We went around the park by car rather than trekking/camping, and this worked very well for us. We still had lots of time during the day to do different walks, and ended up seeing more of the park than would have been possible just on foot. We did walks and drives near Dinsho, on the Sanetti Plateau, and in and around Rira / the Harenna forest (including one night at the beautiful Harenna Cultural Lodge).
Armaye and Mohammed, the driver he was working with, were both very kind and great company. Armaye knows a lot about the wildlife in the park and just generally is an easy-going person so it was a pleasure to spend a few days in his company. Everyone else we met (at the hotel, in Rira, etc.) was also very nice. In addition to the amazing wildlife, it was interesting to see a little bit of how people live there - for example horses are an important mode of transportation and families in the Harenna forest have many beehives high up in trees that they harvest once a year.
Some notes: it was chilly at times, but we were fine with some layers - I wore a thermal wool layer, a fleece, and a rain jacket and was fine in November. I also wore regular sneakers - some waterproof shoes would have definitely been better but I survived and was able to dry them by the fire at night.
Very knowledgeable wildlife guide
I spent a week with Armaye visiting various parks, reserves and wetlands in November 2022, primarily looking for birds and mammals and taking photos. He was very professional, capable, a good communicator and able to spot and identify birds and mammals very well which made for a productive week. His English is excellent and his cook and driver were also excellent. Aside from wildlife, he has a broad knowledge of history, culture, politics, etc so and excellent all round guide.
