Muluken is a great guide and we would highly recommend booking a tour with him. Both Muluken and our driver Belay made us feel comfortable and safe. They both went out of their way to ensure that we had a wonderful week exploring the southern part of Ethiopia with its many lakes! We had so many questions as we learnt about the local traditions and culture, and Muluken took his time to answer them all. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would love to return to Ethiopia to explore the North when it’s possible to do so; and we’ll be sure to have Muluken as our guide!

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic guide. Four of us hired him for 3 days. His knowledge is unsurpassed. He took us to all the high priority sites and to many others. He is well respected by his colleagues and knows his way around the sites, especially Lallibella. He is a absolute delight. Speaks perfect English and has a sense of humor. I recommend him HIGHLY
