Traveling solo in Ethiopia Daniel was a wonderful guide. He was so knowledgeable of the city of Addis Ababa as well as the beautiful surrounding countryside. It was truly an amazing experience and I hope to visit again. I 100% recommend Daniel!

Путешествие всей жизни Это был лучший отды в моей жизни. Я настолько подружился с Даниэлем, что мы и сейчас общаемся с ним. Скоро я поеду в Эфиопию еще.

Great Value, Awesome Experience I had the sincerest pleasure of having Daniel as my driver while visiting the Tigray Churches in Mekele, Ethiopia. I travel solo frequently and as such, I highly value promptness, patience and safety when looking for a guide and driver. As for PROMPTNESS, he was already waiting at the airport when my plane arrived so I did not have to wait at all for pickup. As a matter of fact, I never had to wait for him during my 3-day tour. Every morning he arrived before stated time to collect me from my lodging. I’m a bit of a nature lover who takes full advantage of any and all photo opportunities. As such, I spent more than the average time hiking the Tigray mountains. Daniel was the ever-ready, ever-PATIENT company. Never once did he show any sign of irritation when I took a little longer than I should have snapping photos. Lastly, he’s a SAFE, RELIABLE driver who knows the entire Mekele and Tigray region “like the back of his hands”. The region is vast, with very little road signage. Never did he stop to ask for directions or double back for a missed turn! If you’re looking for these same qualities that I look for in a guide and driver then you should book your tour with DANIEL of Pan Ethiopia Tours. I recommend his services without hesitation.

OMO Valley experience For years I envisioned discovering the people of the Omo Valley. I was a bit nervous as a solo traveler and finally got myself together and booked a trip . It takes an experienced guide to navigate that region, thanks to Daniel I was safe , visited and learned a lot and had an amazing experience . I highly recommend traveling with his company .

Daniel as a tour guide We met Daniel through a tour we did to the Erta Ale. He was the most genuine and nice guide we met on our three weeks holiday. He gave us a very welcome feeling during our trip and hosted us perfectly. He was well informed and took care for us beyond our expectations. I highly recommend hiring him as a guide.

THE BEST DRIVER & GUIDE IN ETHIOPIA So many things to see and places to go and not knowing where to start we were lucky enough to have Daniel drive us and not only get us there safely but become our friend and guide. He knows everything about the people, places and customs. We drove north to Baha Dar, Lalibela and Gonder amongst other places. Stayed in beautiful locations and walked our way through historical villages. Let Daniel take the lead and show you his country and you can’t go wrong. His driving skills and sense of fun are impeccable also. I have recommended him to everyone that travels to this stunning country.
