Simien Mountains ยท Lalibela ยท Danakil Depression ยท Gondar
I'm based in Gondar. We go fully equipped. We build your trip around you.
From highland treks to desert volcanoes to ancient churches I cover all of Ethiopia's major destinations. Tell me where you want to go and we'll build the itinerary around you.
Castles, ancient empires, and living pilgrimages. We'll cover Gondar, Lalibela, Axum the full northern historic circuit.
The hottest place on Earth. Neon sulphur springs, salt flats, an active lava lake. Not for everyone but we'll get you there safely.
Ancient tribes, living traditions, some of the most remote communities on the continent. We go deep not just a quick stop.
800+ bird species. One of Africa's richest ecosystems. I've spent years learning every endemic bird, mammal, and plant up here.
Ancient churches hidden in cliff faces and caves some you can only reach by climbing. I'll take you to places most tourists never find.
Wolf country. Afroalpine wilderness, giant heather forests, the highest all-weather road in Africa. We can combine this with the Simiens.
No logistics headaches, no guesswork. My crew and I manage your entire expedition whether it's a mountain trek, a rock-church pilgrimage, or a volcano tour. You just need to arrive.
When we go out together, you don't need to worry about a thing. Here's exactly what my crew and I bring to every expedition.
Every trek we do together is flexible and built around your schedule. These are starting points not fixed packages. We can combine with Lalibela, Gondar, Tigray or Danakil for a full northern circuit.
The Simien Mountains are a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to some of Africa's rarest animals. I know exactly where to find them.
I was born and raised in Debark right at the gateway to the Simiens. I studied Geography at Gondar University, taught for three years, and I've spent the last 5 years taking trekkers through one of Africa's most dramatic landscapes. I know every trail, every endemic species, and every camp up here.
What people tell me afterward is that I kept them laughing, kept them learning, and kept them safe. When you trek with me, you're not booking a tour company. We're just two people and a great crew exploring a place I genuinely love.
When I'm not on the mountain, I'm a competitive runner I've won races across 12km and half-marathon distances in Gondar, Bahirdar, and Addis Ababa. I train right here in the Simiens. So yes, I can keep up.
Real reviews from real travelers. From TripAdvisor and Google.
"Ginbie made our Simien Mountains trek completely stress-free. Everything was set up before we arrived at camp. The food was incredible, the scenery was jaw-dropping."
"We saw hundreds of Gelada baboons on day one. Ginbie knew exactly where to find them. Best wildlife experience of my life and I've been to the Serengeti."
"I was nervous about a 6-day camping trek but everything was handled. Ginbie adapted the route when I was tired and pushed me when I could handle more. Perfect guide."
Tell me your dates, where you want to go, and how many people are coming. I'll put together an itinerary that fits you perfectly no generic packages.
