        Amazing Danakil Depression trip
        The trip to the Danakil Depression was an incredible experience, organized with great professionalism. We spent three days and two nights exploring this unique region. On the first day, we had the opportunity to visit the salt desert in Dallol, and the next day, we marveled at the most colorful spot in Dallol. On the second evening, we hiked to the Erta Ale volcano, which was an unforgettable adventure. Sleeping under the stars was a magical part of the experience. I went on the trip with my friend, and we were both impressed by the exceptional professionalism and friendliness of the organizer and the entire team. We also had the chance to meet some truly wonderful people.

        Private tour to the lakes and coffee plantation with Alex and Nebyou
        The guides Alex and Nebyou made the journey special. It had been like a private tour. We visited all places that I liked to see. Even more because it wasn't just like a tour for tourist, they took me to very special places and I met a lot of very wonderful people. I am very thankful for this experience. In the end of the trip I had to say good bye to my new friends.

        Perfect mix of nature, culture and sights
        Beki arranged a 3-day, 2-night last minute excursion for us. We drove south to Hawassa and back, and got to see 6 of Ethiopia‘s Rift Valley lakes, sampled local cuisine and culture and saw some breathtaking sights and points of interest along the way. Beki is extremely passionate about his job and the attention to detail with all the arrangements surpassed expectations. His love for Ethiopia and Africa shines through as he weaves narratives about history and culture with perspectives on current affairs and one cannot help but be carried along with his vision and optimism. From coffee ceremonies to hippo sightings, from front-row seats at the fish market to close encounters with colobus monkeys, from tranquil lakefront moments with beautiful vistas and aquatic birds to camel caravans, my mother and I had a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend and will definitely be planning another tour next year.

        Amazing day in Addis Ababa

        Eternal landscapes that awakened my soul.
        Afar is a place that feels like stepping into another world—a raw, untamed region where the Earth’s power and beauty collide. Dankli Depression, offered the surreal landscapes: the salt flats stretching endlessly, the vibrant sulfur pools glowing in alien shades of yellow and green, and the smoking craters of Erta Ale, one of the few permanent lava lakes in the world. The experience is one of extremes—searing heat during the day, a stark reminder of Afar’s reputation as one of the hottest inhabited places on Earth, contrasted with the coolness of the night under a sky blanketed with stars. The Tour guide and his support staff provided the best hospitality, oh you can’t forget the food, which added a layer or two to my belle and gave strength to the experience

        Excellent experience with Beki
        I had 7–8 hours in Addis, and Beki gave me an incredible tour of the city. I highly recommend his services—he was excellent at explaining Ethiopian culture and offering a glimpse into daily life here. I hope to return with more time to explore the rest of the country, and I would definitely rely on Beki to organize the trip.

        Incredible adventure!
        My trip to the Danakil Depression with East Africa was one of the most incredible experiences of my life! Everything was handled with such care and professionalism that I could simply relax and enjoy the adventure. The atmosphere during the entire journey was fantastic – friendly, welcoming, and filled with excitement. The team was always there to offer help and support whenever I needed it, making me feel completely at ease in such challenging environment. The landscapes we explored were breathtaking – unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Every moment felt like a dream, and I was constantly amazed by the beauty and uniqueness of this landscapes. It was an adventure I’ll never forget, full of unforgettable sights, incredible experiences, and a sense of wonder that stayed with me throughout the trip. I’m so grateful to the team for organizing such an extraordinary journey and for creating memories that I’ll treasure forever. If you’re considering a trip to the Danakil Desert, I can’t recommend East Africa. This was more than just a trip – it was the adventure of a lifetime!

        One of the best experiences of my life!
        One of the best experiences of my life! I've done a 3-day trip to the Danakil depression, including Lake Asale, Dallol and Erta Ale. Beki and the crew were super nice people, we had many laughs and they took care of everyone. The food was great and sleeping under the stars was a once in a lifetime experience. Be ready for no running water, heat and long car rides - physically demanding but part of a great experience . I can only recommend!

        Meskel up close
        Beki arranged a great VIP visit to the Meskel celebrations with front row viewing and transport right to Meskel Square. It was a great way to experience Meskel up close.

        An amazing, unforgettable day
        We had an amazing day with Beki and team, learning about the history and culture of Ethiopia. Beki is so knowledgeable and is excited to share his beautiful country with visitors. We loved learning how to make injera and being at the Meksel celebration was an experience of a lifetime. We also used Beki's driver for several trips around town, and he was so courteous and safe. Highly recommend touring Addis and beyond with Beki and team, you are sure to have an incredible experience.

        I had a long layover at the airport and I took the opportunity to take this tour, which was an unforgettable experience. The guide Capital and the driver Result went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and gave me all kinds of explanations about everything I asked. Also, since I had plenty of time, they offered to show me around Addis Ababa and take me to all the places I wanted to visit. What could have been an endless wait at the airport, turned into a fantastic day that allowed me to get to know Ethiopia and its people a little bit. Thank you very much Capital and Result!

        Addis tour
        Beki & Abitey arrived on time at 9am to collect us for our day out with them. The bus was very clean and comfortable. They were both very friendly and welcoming. They talked us through the plan for the day. It was on Thursday 22nd August and it was a very rainy day. They adjusted the plan to keep us out of the rain as much as possible. We started at the Museum of Ethiopia, Beki was incredibly knowledgeable and showed and talked me through so much important history. I loved how passionate and proud he was of his country and history. We then went to Tomoca Coffee shop and tried some Ethiopian coffee which was very good. While explaining all the interesting history of this coffee also. We then drove up the mount Entoto to a local ladies home. We were made very welcome and offered food and the warmth of a log fire. We were then taken outside to the place they make Injera and shown how to make it and taste. We were also given the chance to make one ourselves. We then went back inside and ate more Injera with a bean sauce as we do not eat meat and had a shot of a Russian alcoholic drink. This was very chest warming and nice. On the way back we were going to look down andctake photos if Addis from the Entoto view point but as it was raining there was no viably and had to abandon this. After this we went to the Merkato Market, again Beki was very knowledgeable showing me around all the different parts and explaining different things about what people were selling. Our final destination was St Georges Cathedral where Beki showed us the small museum outside and then we went into the Cathedral where again he passed on all if his knowledge in a passionate, proud way that kept me engaged all the way to the end. I would highly recommend Beki & Abitey to take you on a tour. If I come again I would definitely use them again to see other sites. My 15 year old daughter wasn't as interested as I was but they were very understanding of this and at times she just waited with Abitey in the van which I was very grateful for.

        Excellent park near addis
        **Hike:** **Menagesha Forest** **Location:** Near Addis Ababa **Length:** Varies (Multiple Trails) **Difficulty:** Moderate Menagesha Forest offers a peaceful escape just outside Addis Ababa, with lush greenery and towering indigenous trees. The trails vary in length and difficulty, making it suitable for both casual hikers and those seeking a more challenging trek. The forest is rich in biodiversity, and you we spotted colobus monkeys and various bird species along the way. The trails are well-marked and maintained, though some sections can be steep and muddy, especially after rain. It’s best to visit in the early morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the tranquility. Great to have Beki as our guide

      We participated in a coffee tour in Addis with Beki and it was fantastic. He took our group to a variety of interesting coffee shops and roasters around the city, and we learned a lot while trying delicious varieties of coffee. Beki and the guides at each location are super knowledgeable. Overall, we had a lovely and very comfortable experience, and would highly recommend this tour.
