About Me
My name is Abel Mekonnen. I was born in Arbaminch which is one of the beautiful touristic destinations in the southern part of Ethiopia. I grew up seeing tourists and dreamed of being a tour guide. So, I started working as a local guide in my home town and Omo valley and later moved to the capital city Addis Ababa to join the renowned Tourism Institute of the country to be a professional tour guide. I graduated in Tour guide, Tour operation Supervision and Tourism management on July 25 2008, August 06, 2017 and 09 November 2017 respectively. I have been working as a professional tour guide since 2008 on freelance basis. I opened my own Tour Company in 2011. Since then, I have been organizing and managing any kind of tour packages to inbound tourists too.
Being tour guide and manager mean a cultural ambassador of a country. So, I proudly feel as a cultural ambassador of my beloved country Ethiopia. Guiding and organizing tours are my life style. Luckily my hobby has become my job.
I have diploma in theology and BA degree in International Trade and Investment Management with great distinctions. I also studied the classical and liturgical language Ge’ez. Studying the related field of study International trade and Investment management has also helped me easily understand & organize the business well enough since tourism is an international trade & investment which has unique features. I have been travelling throughout my country. So, I know Ethiopia inside out. I am here to organise your holiday.
Any request will be granted!

Furthermore he is a man of great humor and he is never intrusive....read more

He feels responsible for the group throughout the whole stay and is genuinely concerned about everybody's well being....read morearbel
