Hello, I'm Armaye, Agency member from Addis Ababa
I was born and grew up in a small town called Goba, located in the heart of the Bale Mountains. I studied tour guiding services at one of the tourism training institutes in Ethiopia. My passion for traveling and the fascinating historical and natural attractions of my country led me into this profession which I adore. I have been working as a tour guide and organizer for more than 10 years all around Ethiopia. I have led and managed groups of tourists in every corner of Ethiopia. I have also worked with film crews, research groups, and professional photographers. My wide experience has helped me gain various related skills, and now I can handle clients in a flexible, friendly, and professional way. I am experienced in different kinds of tours such as trekking, bird watching, historical tours, cultural attractions, and many others. With my love and growing passion for the history and culture of my people, I realized that I loved sharing this enthusiasm with visitors, and so I decided to establish my own tour and travel business. I am very enthusiastic about meeting new people from different parts of the world and helping them witness the amazing natural and historical destinations of my country. I am also excited to learn about other nationalities' culture and tourism attractions.
I will be happy to meet with you and conduct any of my Experiences.
