A breath-taking, amazing and memorable experience

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.

Above and beyond service, amazing tours

From the beginning, communication with Armaye was clear and efficient. The entire experience is well thought through and customized and well curated. The team he works with were all great with many logistical aspects to consider. Highly recommend this group. Our trip to the Simeon Mountains as well as Gondar and Addis was really a rich experience in every way you can possibly think of. Don’t hesitate to book with this group as they will ensure you have a great trip to remember.

Armaye Ethiopia Tours is reliable, direct, fair and secure.

Traveling with the office was an unforgettable experience. I received the best care. With the help of the office, I was also able to see a little into people's everyday lives. I was only in Ethiopia for seven days, but I visited amazing places and my companions were great people. I definitely want to go back and will choose Armaye Tours again.

Enthusiastic, knowledgeable tour operator offering good value for money.

Outstanding tour operator. Hard-working and dedicated to maximizing the customer's experience. Tour tailored to the participants' interests. Excellent, responsive communication. Thoroughly reliable. Tour was excellent. Approximately 60 mammal species seen, an impressive total for Ethiopia. There are few tour operators with whom I have been as impressed as I was with Armaye.

I had the best guides you could hope for - helpful, great knowledge and a love of wildlife.

Armaye and Kumfir did everything to make my tour a wonderful and memorable experience and they succeeded. There was a lot of travelling involved and the standard of driving and care was exceptional. They realised that the most important thing for me was seeing the wildlife and they made sure we saw all that we could - they loved the animals too so I felt part of a team looking for all that we could find. The communication and information provided before the tour was really useful and there were no hidden extras. I recommend Armaye and his colleagues to anyone who wants to come to Ethiopia - the wildlife is rapidly disappearing so come for a trip to Ethiopia with Armaye while it is still there.

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

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!!

This is an amazing, well set, locally aware team, I was impressed from 1st contact to end of tour

Armaye tours were courteous, prompt, flexible and knowledgeable in their correspondence from the first contact. It was simple to put together the tour with their help They remained in touch until I arrived and was picked up from the airport. The tour team consisted of Awol, guide - who was respectful, caring, hugely knowledgeable about the area, the fauna and flora and Ethiopia. And his eagle eyes were superb pointing out so much as we walked along. A true diamond Idris our chef produced hot home cooked food throughout the tour and I remain amazed at what can be produced on a single burner!! Our porters were polite, cheerful, organised and so efficient. I was a single white older female and I never felt uncomfortable once Armaye is a well run, locally respectful tour company and I would recommend them without hesitation. You won't be disappointed

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.

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.

Alizée

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.

An amazing search for the Ethiopian wolf

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!

Incredible Experience

we were recommended by our best friends. we took 10 Days Northern Ethiopia tour with Armaye, from the moment of booking, service was exceptional. My questions were answered promptly and accurately. He was knowledgeable and gave us the best possible experiences of his country and had so much fun. Everything worked out perfectly and we feel like we have had a good taste of many parts of Ethiopia and its culture. It was all fascinating. All in all, I highly recommend Armaye and his company.

A wonderful two week trip to Ethiopia

We had the Ethniopian Mammal Watching tour for 14 days; the initially 12-day program itself was adjusted and extended by two days. Armaye knows the nature of Ethiopia and its inhabitants very well. Since we were focused on locating and photographing animals, he fully supported us in this task and gave us great assistance in identifying those species with which we had questions. It was very interesting to discuss the animals of Ethiopia with him! It’s great that he implemented his area of interest and knowledge into his own business. All Armaye team members are friendly and responsible, you can absolutly trust them. The nature of Ethiopia is very different depending on the parts of the country and is very beautiful and even fantastic. We also got to know the local cuisine and its specialties. We will miss the time spent and the company of our new friends on this trip. But I think we will be back in the future! If you are planning to travel to Ethiopia, I would recommend traveling with Armaye Ethiopia Tours.

wonderful tour operator

I attended in the 2 night 3 days tour of Bale mountain. I could see many endemic wildlives and great views. That was unforgetable experience.

Seishi

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

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.

Amazing knowledge and attentive to needs

I recently embarked on a mesmerizing 4-day, 3-night tour of the awe-inspiring Bale Mountain region, and I cannot sing enough praises for the incredible experience provided by Armaye. From breathtaking landscapes to incredible encounters with wildlife, every aspect of this tour left me in sheer amazement. Our journey was made truly exceptional thanks to the outstanding guide, Awol. His attentiveness, wealth of knowledge, and passion for the area were unparalleled. With his remarkable ability to spot hidden gems and share fascinating anecdotes about the local wildlife, Awol elevated our entire adventure to new heights. He made sure that our group felt safe, entertained, and informed throughout the tour, transforming our time in Bale Mountain into an unforgettable memory. Kudos must also be given to the outstanding chef who accompanied us on this journey. Every meal was an absolute delight, showcasing the culinary expertise and commitment to quality. Whether it was the delectable dishes prepared on the spot or the carefully curated packed lunches during our day hikes, the chef effortlessly catered to our diverse dietary preferences. I particularly appreciated how they seamlessly incorporated the traditional flavors of the region into each culinary masterpiece, creating a remarkable fusion of taste that brilliantly complemented the stunning surroundings. Additionally, Armaye's choice of a skilled driver truly made a difference in our overall experience. Our driver navigated the challenging terrains with precision, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. Their professionalism and ability to adapt to changing conditions added an extra layer of security and made the journey truly stress-free. The breathtaking scenery and remarkable wildlife encounters that unfolded during this tour were beyond words. From the majestic Ethiopian wolves prowling through the Afroalpine region to the vibrant birdlife and baboons thriving in the lush Harenna Forest, every moment spent in nature ignited a sense of wonder and appreciation for the incredible biodiversity. Armaye's well-planned itinerary ensured we experienced the full spectrum of this mesmerizing landscape, making every activity a fantastic opportunity to soak in the grandeur of nature. In conclusion, my 4-day, 3-night tour of Bale Mountain organized by Armaye exceeded all expectations. With a super attentive and knowledgeable guide like Awol, skilled driver, and an extraordinary chef who catered to our every need, this company truly goes above and beyond to provide an unforgettable adventure. If you are seeking a trip that seamlessly combines awe-inspiring scenery, remarkable wildlife encounters, and top-notch service, Armaye and Awol is undoubtedly the best choice.
