Hello! I’m Tesema (but my friends call me Tevan), the founder and heart behind Simien Ethio Tours.

I was born and raised in the shadow of the Simien Mountains, where as a boy, I would watch foreign travelers pass through our village with a sense of wonder.They came seeking something magical – and I realized I held the key to showing them the Ethiopia I knew and loved.

What began as showing visitors around my hometown has grown into a passion for sharing the authentic soul of Ethiopia – from the misty peaks of the Simiens to the ancient churches of Lalibela.
