Short descriptions of the primary tourist Attractions of Ethiopia Lake Tana Lake Tana is the largest lake of Ethiopia and located at a distance of 560 km from Addis Ababa. As the outgoing river of the Lake is the Blue Nile, the Lake is considered the origin of the Blue Nile, one of the two main tributaries of the Upper Nile. Known to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, the lake has an long history of exposure to the ancient world, and from a very early age, it has been one of the centers of Christianity. The lake houses more than 20 churches and monasteries. Gondar For two centuries the walled royal enclosure, Fasil Ghebbi, in Gondar served as the capital of the Ethiopian Empire. Initiated by the Ethiopian emperor Fasilides around 1635 and expanded by his successors, Fasil Ghebbi, surrounded by a 900-m-long wall, contains Indian and Baroque style palaces, churches and monasteries, the likes unknown anywhere else in Sub-Saharan Africa Simien Mountains National Park North of Gondar lies the Simien Mountains National Park, with the fourth highest peak of Africa, with some of the most ragged escarpments of Ethiopia and becoming an increasingly popular destination for mountain trekking. The park is home to some extremely endangered animal that only occur in Ethiopia, like the Ethiopian Wolf and the Walia Ibex, a wild goat, the gelada baboon and the Lammergeier. * Certified and Licensed By Amhara Tourism and culture beuro . * Certificate : Bahir Dar University different level Of Tour Guiding ,Tour Operation , Customer handling , eco Tourism Diploma * Diploma : Information Technology Bahir Dar Blue Nile college * Diploma : Tour Guide and Tour Operations . we use accompany Local Guides In every destinations .

Ethiopia was known from the dawn of civilisation and has a 3000 years old history. The ancient Egyptians knew that their sacred and vital river Nile originated from a lake on a plateau in the land of "Punt" ("Land of the Gods" in their language) and they knew about a garden existing beyond the desert. However, also historical sources bear witness to the existence of a rich and powerful kingdom with a high level of civilisation in h pre-Christian times. Ethiopia can be considered one of the first Christian states. Before, Judaism, introduced most probably by several waves of immigration from Israel, had played a major role in the northern and western centres of the country. From that time on, Christianity has become a major component of Ethiopian culture, up to date. cient and glorious past of this country remain: the monolithic churches of Lalibela, the carved obelisks and churches of Axum, more than 120 monasteries and rock churches in the Tigray region, as well as those scattered here and there along .
Very well organized and great guides. I had a lot of fun and saw some beautiful sites.

Melese is a wonderful guide for touring Ethiopia. His English is good, his understanding is excellent. He listened to us and was able to adjust along the way to make our trip even better. He arranged very good drivers and vehicles. His suggestions for hotels and restaurants also very good. We asked a lot about current Ethiopian affairs and he helped us get a bit of an understanding about this amazing country. We loved our tour with Melese and highly recommend him.
Melese is a friendly guide. everything work by the schedule The tour was very interesting. WE ask Melese to prepare the group with more details of whats going next, weather condition,how much water to take, shouse are necessary or sandals are o.k
Exceptional value for money and exceptional guide who made sure that everything ran smoothly. Absolutely the best way to go, rather than with a group...we were three, rather ancient, but still reasonably-active, female friends, all of whom had lived in Ethiopia before and knew what we wanted to see and do. This tour fit our plans to a "T." Thank you, Melese, and our thanks, too, to both of our very expert and able drivers who kept us safe. Ethiopia holds a special place in our hearts...
My tour with Meleese was one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. I got to see the most beautiful sights, meet the most wonderful people and gain insights into Ethiopia that I could never have imagined. Meleese was the key to it all. His depth of knowledge where required was great, his choice of local guides was as good and his organizational ability made sure that even occasional bumps were smoothed out. I would recommend Meleese without hesitation.
