Welcome!! I'm Muluken. I'm native Ethiopian born and grew up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital city. I have a diploma in Accounting from Mekelle University. As I am more of a social person, I didn't find working as an accountant fulfilling. It didn't take me long to decide to start studying Tourism. Then I joined the Catering and Tourism Training Institute of Addis Ababa and studied TOUR OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT for two years, and graduated in March 2004. Since then I have been enjoying working as a tour operator and tour guide to all parts of Ethiopia. I love planning personalized tours and I love even more leading the tours I designed. I specialize in providing cultural, private, nature, food, and local first timer experiences. Enriching people's life by crafting best match tours and making them experience what they wouldn't find by themselves adds my value to Life! Contact me soon and enjoy your tour in Ethiopia to the fullest!!

We had an amazing time and Muluken was wonderful. He is probably the best tour guide in all of Ethiopia and we have used him multiple times as have our friends. Whatever you need, he can take care of it - even vegan food just after easter! :)
