Extraordinary Indeed!
I was not lucky enough to meet Maereg on my amazing trip to Ethiopia, but I did meet his brother and many of their friends. If you have managed to find their listings, you are already on your way to something life-changing.
I can’t remember how I found EET in the first place, but it must have been some kind of destiny the way it all worked out. It takes a bit of a leap of faith for people, even me, to trust and believe in those you meet on the other side of the planet. But when you do find them, they are usually keepers. I can not recommend this outfit highly enough.
Knowing very little about Ethiopia before I arrived there, I relied on Maereg to plan my trip. He never disappointed. Exceptional lodgings, challenging sometimes but ultimately remarkable for Africa, comfortable vehicles, everything carefully attended to, and the remarkable relationships I will remember forever. There are doubtless many choices when planning a visit like this, and the priceless lesson I learned there is that if you have the courage to ask people like Maereg and his brother Abay for help. and the willingness to put yourself in their hands, you will all come out ahead.
These folks planned what turned out to be an unforgettable tour of Omo Valley, and meetings with several tribes there. The short version of this story is that the experiences I had there included becoming some kind of honorary and valued member of the tribe, or at least an exceptional ally. I learned more about life and myself in one afternoon there than I could possibly explain in even this long review. I also visited the Danakil Depression on a tour they planned for me. This was also an invaluable experience, but also emotionally difficult in many ways. It is not an easy place to visit. I suggest you do some thorough research so you are prepared. I was not.
When I visit Africa, four separate times now, at least a third of the countries there, I am amazed, enlightened, changed, and sometimes heartbroken. It takes special people to join you on a journey like this. EET strives for this instinctively. They seem consumed with guaranteeing their clients have important, memorable experiences there. I just can not thank them enough.

Perfectly organized to enjoy breathtaking nature
My 3 days in the Danakil Depression has been one of the most amazing experience I have had exploring Earths wonders.
The tour was very well organized and structured so we could really enjoy full days, unforgettable sunrise on the salt lake and the rift and breathtaking night walk on volcanic lava. So unique!
Maareg our guide is very experienced, reassuring and so kind. He, with his team, were attentive as we explored the differentes natural sites, so I felt very safe during this tour. Also the food served was great!
I am very grateful for this wonderful experience.
An extremely professional outfit that I would recommend to any travelers to Ethiopia
From the beginning Maereg was extremely responsive and understanding of our needs. All aspects of the tour were delivered seamlessly and it was very relieving to have him there personally to deal with a number of issues that arouse that he dealt with tactfully and without complaint.
As a guide he knew when to give us space and when to add information and engage us. All the activities that we undertook were unforgettable and it didn’t feel like we were constantly being rushed and pressured to move on. The level of flexibility was unparalleled.
I look forward to coming back and exploring Ethiopia further with Maereg and Extraordinary Ethiopia in the future.

Great guide!
I have travelled 80 plus countries and Maereg was one of best guides.
He was strong and confident knowing when to talk and when not. He professionally kept me respectable of local religious traditions while getting me front row viewing. Maereg is a believer with long Lalibella history. He asked for my camera many times knowing best spots. Even asked once cause he said I was to shy:)
He was great at managing vendors not that Ethiopia is bad in that way.
It was an extraordinary guide. Not only did he know the area well, but he is also a person deepl
Our tour guide gave us an extraordinary tour of Lalibela. He knows great about the history of Lalibela. The tour was incredible, not only because it is a beautiful place full of history and culture, but also because Maereg made it very enjoyable and involved us in getting to know the local people, allowing us to better experience it.
