Even though it was just a short day tour, we received great care and attention, along with important information about each location.
Sala is a very friendly and accurate guide, you can feel he is passionate in what he does and the tour in Addis Abeba with him was beyond expectations. Highly recommended!
We did a full day taylor-made tour with Saleamlak. He showed us around the market and comfortably walked us through its hustle and bustle. Then we carried on to see the modern part of Addis to understand its progress in recent years, went to see some galleries with contemporary Ethiopian art and finished the day with ethno night. Saleamlak is fluent in English, through him you can understand how young Ethiopians look at their country, its past, the dilemma of staying or leaving the country - we had very good discussions about this. This is a different look than what a traditional guide would give you. On top of this, he really does his best and you can see that he is really interested in your satisfying experience from the tour. Definetely, would recommend to use his services.
