I have done multiple trips with Shemels over the years and my experiences were always excellent. 

Shemels always goes the extra mile to make trips especially memorable, individual and authentic. He does not take you to overpriced tourist restaurants, but to the insider  places not everyone knows. He does not take you to boring nightclubs that try to copy Europe/ the US, but to clubs that are authentically Ethiopian. He does not pick you up in a bus that screams "I am a tourist", but with the classic blue and white mini bus.

Even though I am quite obviously not from Ethiopia, Shemels gives me a very local and authentic experience. After all, that is why I am travelling...

This approach, his kindness, resourcefullness (wherever you are, whatever you need, Shemels knows what to do), communication and flexibility make me recommend him without any hesitation. REach out if you want to know anything else. 

Awesome tour guide who will show you the beauty of Ethiopia and will take excellent care of you.

Yes! It was a very memorable trip and one that we would suggest to other people! The communications were excellent, and we were very impressed that the arrangements ( confirmation of tour and procurement of airline tickets) were made in shorts order.  The information on the tour ( the package) provided was excellent.  10/10  for Shemels! He is a wealth of knowledge, great personality, very vibrant, full of educational information, great company and very competent. He has great attention to detail to make sure that he could provide anything we might need!
