Set up a well-coordinated tour for us engaging knowledgeable and competent local drivers and guides.
5/5

Armaye Ethiopia Tours was the first of three agencies to respond to our request for a quote for a tour in northern Ethiopia and was extremely responsive in addressing questions and issues, and flexible in coordinating our tour. We enjoyed being able to converse with a knowledgeable local guide in each site we visited and were especially impressed with the smooth coordination among them as we traveled. Each site we visited was amazing in its own way. In one relatively short trip we were able to enjoy astounding landscapes, see a little of the way of life in different rural and urban areas, and learn about some of the rich history and culture in Ethiopia.

Armaye tours is very professional and friendly business offering an all around service in Ethiopia
5/5

We've spent 2 weeks in Ethiopia visiting the Omo Valley tribes and hiking in the amazing Bale mountains.
Armaye organised everything for us with a great and flexible service.
We had the fortune to participate in a Bull Jumping ceremony at the Hammer Tribe and to see the rare Ethiopian wolves.
When I'll return to visit other gems in this amazing country, will only do it with him.
Thanks again for everything Armaye!!

Awol was my guide for the tour to Bale Mountains for two day, he's an amazing guy and him and the driver were amazing wildlife spotters! I got to see all of the animals I wanted including 10+ wolves, hundreds of Mountain Nyalas, three troops of colobus and two troops of bale monkey, giant mole rats, feedbacks buskhbucks so many endemic birds and including the elusive giant forest big in harenna forest! And also some a.azing cultural experience twith the locals I had the best time ever and I cant recommend Armaye and his team enough! They have been absolute professionals, fun and most of all good friends after I had some incident in Kenya the previous week

Perfect organizer, very friendly person who makes everything easy and gives the best for the guests!
5/5

We booked 3 tours with Armaye: 4 days Omo valley tour, visiting tribes, one day tour from Addis Ababa to Debre Libanos, and 6 days Bale Mountains trekking. Everything was just simple perfect: good organization, good accomodations, good food, and very friendly welcome. We had an amazing time and were happy to learn a lot about Ethiopean lifestyle and culture. Armaye is the most reliable and prepared tour guide I have met in the last 20 years of traveling, that's for sure! Best value for money by far!!

Highly attentive and informed tour of the diverse Bale Mountains
5/5

Armaye was very communicable and attentive. Highly knowledgeable of (and passionate for) the country and its wildlife and culture.

The trip itself showed the diversity of the Bale Mountains. From the wolves on the plain to the Bale monkeys in the forest.

Good value for money, highly recommended!

Armaye made sure my visit to Ethiopia was the best it could be.
5/5

You will have the best time with Armaye in Ethiopia. We planned my trip together and he made adjustments as it came near so that I could maximize the variety of animals I could see. I saw numerous gelada monkeys, walia ibex and 99 species of birds. You will really enjoy touring with him.

A great people with passion in the right place.
5/5

The Armaye Ethiopia Tours motto is YOU TRAVEL, WE CARE and it fully reflects how the company works. We spent an unforgettable 14 days travelling to the south of Ethiopia on a trip organized by Armayer. Before arriving in Ethiopia, we received a complete set of information, advices and answers to the questions asked, so the only thing left to do was to pack up and go for the adventure. The travel plan was prepared in such a way that it was possible to admire this unique and interesting country without haste.
Armaye put us in the hands of an exceptional guide / driver Kinfe, who made sure that the trip was comfortable and safe. We did the full program planned and the service was on the highest level. We could admire both the life of the Ethiopians and the wild nature that surrounded us. The cherry on the cake were the last two days in Bale Mountains, where Armayer took over the role of a guide.
There we had the opportunity to watch a lot of birds and mammals, including Ethiopian Wolves. After the holidays, we were left with great photos, many wonderful memories and a desire to return To Ethiopia again.

If you are going to Ethiopia, go ahead and choose Armaye Ethiopia Tours because it is a guarantee of great vacation.

Armaye is very well informed of the natural environment & the animal species.
5/5

My husband and I wanted to experience Ethiopia and that is exactly what Armaye gave us. He was very responsive in the planning stages and answered all of our questions. He shared a lot of information with us during our trip to Bale National Park and we felt immersed in everything we did.

On day 1 we did the mammal walk with what seemed to be an enchanted forest and Day 2 was walking in the mountain looking for the Ethiopian wolf and going up to Tulu Dimtu 4377ft. We also enjoyed the local food.

An amazing search for the Ethiopian wolf
5/5

Last week I went with Armaye to look for the Ethiopian wolf in Bale Mountains. It was a great trip through a beautiful and rugged landscape. Armaye had arranged everything fantastically: a beautiful route, good food, and, if you need it, all the camping gear. Armaye is clearly passionate about what he does. He knows a lot about all the animals in the park and loves being out there. It was a great pleasure to go on this trip with him and I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to go on a little adventure in Bale (or anywhere else in Ethiopia).

And yes, we found the wolf!

A breath-taking, amazing and memorable experience
5/5

If you want to discover the remote Bale Mountains with the unique afroalpine wetlands and the endemic flora and fauna, particularly the Ethiopian Wolf, and the breath-taking landscape then you are with Armaye and his team in the best hands. He will make your trekking trip to an amazing and memorable experience.

The communication with Armaye was very easy, by email and whatsapp as well and the response of countless questions regarding the tour was very quick and helpful as well. He and his team are very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Everything was well organized and went smooth. The guys are very professional and experienced and you can absolutly trust them. Myself i got so excited about this trekking tour that i will come back again to experience the Bale Mountains after the rainy season, when everything is green and flowering and i will do it with Armaye again, no doubts. I can highly recommend the trekking tour and Armaye Tours as well – you will never regret.
