Solomon - Private Guide in Addis Ababa

Languages: English

Hello! My name is Solomon , and I am a professional Tour Guide and Tour Operator based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with more than 12 years of experience creating memorable journeys across the country.
Over the past decade, I have worked with travelers from all over the world, designing safe, immersive, and fully customized tours that reveal the real Ethiopia — a land of ancient history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes.

I specialize in private, family, and group tours, offering complete travel arrangements including transportation, accommodation, guided sightseeing, and themed experiences such as historical, cultural, nature, food, and city tours.
My goal is not just to guide you, but to create a deep, authentic connection with Ethiopia’s heritage and everyday life.

During the city tour in Addis Ababa, you will explore the most iconic highlights of the capital:

• National Museum of Ethiopia — one of the country’s most important cultural institutions, home to the world-famous fossil “Lucy” and a rich collection of archaeological, historical, and artistic treasures.
  • Holy Trinity Cathedral — a major Ethiopian Orthodox church known for its impressive architecture, beautiful artwork, and the tomb of Emperor Haile Selassie.
  • Entoto Mountain — scenic hills overlooking Addis Ababa, featuring historic churches, the former palace of Emperor Menelik II, and panoramic views of the city.
  • Mercato Market — one of the largest open-air markets in Africa, where you can experience the vibrant rhythm of local life, traditional crafts, spices, and Ethiopian products.
  • Ethnological Museum — located inside Haile Selassie’s former palace, this museum offers an in-depth look at the traditions, culture, and daily life of Ethiopia’s diverse ethnic groups.
  • Red Terror Martyrs’ Memorial Museum — an important museum dedicated to the victims of the Derg regime, offering insight into the country’s modern history.

Beyond Addis Ababa, I offer tours to the most remarkable destinations across Ethiopia: Lalibela, Gondar, Axum, the Omo Valley, the Danakil Depression, Lake Tana, the Simien Mountains, and many other exceptional sites.

With extensive experience, deep cultural and historical knowledge, and great attention to detail, I ensure that every tour is comfortable, insightful, and unforgettable.
I look forward to showing you Ethiopia as I know and love it — warm, welcoming, ancient, and incredibly diverse.
