We undertook a wonderful three week journey throught the north of Ethiopia with a brilliant tour guide. We would like to recommend this guide to you to take him into the next edition of your really good guidebook on Ethiopia. 
Tazbew Wagnew Beyene (aged 28) was born in the Simien Mountains. After a few Email exchanges we agreed to travel for three weeks with him (Addis, Tigray/ Hawzien, Axum, Lalibelia, Simien Mountains Trekking, Gonder, Dahir Bar, Addis). He had some very good reviews on Tripadvisor and was also well known at the National Park Authority in Debark. 
We experienced a friendly and caring guide, who attended to all our needs and who‘s English was very good. Everywhere we went he had a good network with his colleagues which guaranteed a very well organised and extremely smooth journey. All prices for hotels, flights, transportation and meals were reasonable. We especially enjoyed his open and pleasant nature. We had conversations on all aspects of living in Ethopia, which allowed us to get insight into the situation of modern but also historical Ethiopia.  
There is no large organisation or foreign investor behind Tazbew so that the money is going to stay in the country which seems important to us, especially as Ethiopia is currently undergoing complex changes and developments.
