AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Wow is the word for this experience! I did one day hiking to Abuna Yemata, starting from Mekele, and it was totally worth it! As a female solo trip, I felt completely safe the whole trip and would recommend the tour for everyone in the same situation! If you are searching for a place with incredible energy, go for it! Went with Ategawi and he was really helpful, all the way up and down!

An Unforgettable Experience with Gheralta Tours! Our tour with Gheralta Tours was simply outstanding from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, and we never had to worry about a single detail. The level of professionalism and coordination was truly impressive. We visited some of the most breathtaking and unique places on earth. the incredible Abune Yemata Church, the active volcano Erta Ale, and the surreal landscapes of the Danakil Depression. Each destination was an unforgettable adventure and absolutely worth the journey. A very special thank you goes to our guide Aregawi. He is not just a guide, he is a true motivator. His passion, energy, and encouragement made even the more challenging moments enjoyable and inspiring. On top of that, his knowledge about the regions, history, culture, and geology is exceptional. We learned so much and always felt that we were in the best hands. We also want to thank our driver Hagi for his excellent work. Driving in these regions is not easy, but he handled every situation calmly and professionally. I felt safe at all times throughout the entire trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you are looking for a perfectly organized tour with deep local knowledge, great energy, and a strong focus on safety, Gheralta Tours is the right choice. I will definitely come back!

Great experience with Gheralta Tours! We visited Tigray for three days in November 2025, and Gheralta Tours turned what should have been a cultural and historical experience into a genuine adventure. Are is an experienced guide who can adapt the daily programme to suit everyone's needs. We look forward to visiting Ethiopia again soon and discovering other parts of the country with this wise travel agency!

GRAN EXPERIENCIA EN TIGRAY CON EL MEJOR GUIA Profundo conocedor de la región, Aregawi te introduce en los más bonitos rincones de las montañas para mostrar lo mejor de cada rincón. No hubiera podido encontrar a nadie mejor para acompañarme en el Tigray, visitando preciosas iglesias escondidas, su conexión con las comunidades locales y sus aportaciones de detalles históricos en cada visita. Recomiendo plenamente a Aregawi Zablon para una experiencia inmersiva en el norte de Etiopia.

Exceptional Off-the-Beaten-Path Trek I just finished a one-week trip (3 days Danakil depresion and 3 days hiking in Gheralta) with Aregawi from Gheralta Trekking, and the experience was outstanding. He’s highly professional, resourceful, quick to understand what you need, and adapts effortlessly. As a young entrepreneur with real local expertise, he knows how to shape the trip in a way that feels both smooth and genuinely authentic. What really sets him apart is his ability to create unique, off-the-beaten-path itineraries while staying incredibly flexible and attentive. Every day felt thoughtfully crafted and effortless. If you’re looking for an unforgettable journey in Ethiopia, guided by someone who blends professionalism and intimate knowledge of the region, I cannot recommend Aregawi and Gheralta Trekking highly enough. An absolutely outstanding experience!

Excitement beyond thrill It was two days and one night, and on the first day we trekked up a big mountain in Guerrero, and on the second day we rock-climbed to the church on the cliff. [First day: Trekking & Camping] The trek on the first day was a tough one and I think you need to be physically strong, but the view near the top was amazing and standing on the cliff was a bit scary but a good experience. At the top, after enjoying a meal on a bonfire with your guide, dance and shout while playing Ethiopian and Japanese songs? We laughed and bonded. [Day 2: Church on the Cliff] On the second day we moved towards the church on the cliff. The church is right on top of a steep cliff, and with the support of locals, we managed to get there by rock climbing. It was a thrilling cliff climb that I would never be allowed to climb in Japan, and it was a valuable experience. Beyond that thrill, I felt Ethiopia's magnificent nature and history in the stunning scenery and cavernous churches that await. 【Others:Meals】 We enjoyed traditional Ethiopian dishes at lunch and dinner along the way. Honestly, the ingella I ate in the city wasn’t delicious, but all the traditional food I ate on this tour, including the ingella, was amazing and I couldn’t believe how chewy it was. 【Others:Personality of the guide】 To tell the truth, I went on a tour of the volcano Elta Are before this tour, but it ended prematurely because of the eruption. To make up for this, they introduced us to this tour at a discount. I appreciate his kindness.
