Hi, I am Alex Girma from Addis Ababa.
Welcome to Ethiopia, one of the world’s oldest countries with breathtaking landscapes, ancient cultures, diverse peoples, religions and traditions, home to endemic animal and plant species and the Cradle of Mankind (Lucy).
I have been a tourist driver-guide for over a decade, working free lance with different local tourism companies. Meeting people from all over the world, listening to the efforts they made for visiting my country, their hopeful anticipations, joys, needs and, at times, frustrations and even anger when things don’t turn out the way it was promised to them by their home based travel agencies, has provided me with profound insight into what clients expect of a first class customer oriented service.
Being responsible for the well being and safety of my clients, has taught me that for the duration of the tour, the sole, direct contact person is the driver-guide and that the final perception of success or short falling of the journey depends on his capacity and disposition to resolve problems, ease concerns, whether mayor or minor, and being generally supportive. Therefore, my most gratifying experience is when people who came to me as clients leave as friends. That means, I did my job well. Years of traveling every road in Ethiopia from North to South and East to West, taking care of my clients, trying to offer a little “extra” which might mark the difference between a normal tour and an unforgettable one, have given me the experience and qualifications to launch myself as an independent operator. Based on my knowledge of Ethiopia’s unique sites of interest, its general, social, economic and political situation, personal contacts with local guides and a vast portfolio of lodges, hotels, guesthouses and camping sites, I am in the position to offer tailor-made services, adapting any itinerary to the clients particular interests, time table and budgets. If you are looking for a unique Ethiopia experience, please don’t hesitate to contact me vía e-mail or WhatsApp. I will answer as quickly as possible, taking into consideration the time differences between countries and – sometimes – problems with the national communications system.
Thank you for visiting my web site. Hope to see you soon!
Salam
