About Us

We are a private, locally owned and well established Travel & Tour Operator with extensive experience in organising trips throughout the huge variety of cultural, historical, natural and wildlife attractions that Ethiopia has to offer.

​

My name is Habtamu and I am the General Manager of Gutena Tours which I set up with my wife Simegnish Marye who looks after the Tour Operations side of the business.

 

We are extremely proud of our skilled, qualified, energetic team who are passionate about the tourism industry and all of us have visited every corner of magnificent country so we that can bring you personalised recommendations and trips that we know for sure you will love. 

​

Indeed, Gutena Tours is founded on the principles of providing the absolute best itineraries depending upon your budget and kinds of things that you and your party are interested in visiting. We will work with you to identify the areas that we think you would want to discover or simply organise locations that you have in mind, but just need someone to organise the logistics. 

​

In additions, we are fully licensed inbound tour operator in Ethiopia by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Ministry of Culture and Tourism as well as by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Ministry of Trade.

​

So whether you are a sole traveller, a couple or part of either a small or large group or even a former president of the United States of America (that's me, on the left with George Bush who we were honoured to host at Lalibela Lodge which I set up several years ago), please do not hesitate to contact us with your suggestions or enquiries for experiences.

 

Anything from historical, cultural, archaeological, ornithological and safari trips to self drive itineraries, trekking, hiking, horse riding, biking and so much more, our professional tour operators are waiting to hear from you.

​

We can't wait to sharing our love of Ethiopia with you!
