What Mitiku’s clients have to say :
I have just returned from the most incredible and life affirming four day trek with Mitiku Dessie in the Simien mountains.
From the moment we met in Debark I knew I was in good hands. Throughout our time together he always made sure I was well looked after. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and an expert and experienced guide having grown up in the mountains. Doing a trip like this is extraordinary, challenging and rewarding. Having a guide like Mitiku makes it especially special, galvanising our time like family. I can’t wait to do it again!

If you like mountains, you have to hike in Simien mountains range, we went on Feb is dry season, the scenery is amazing like mini Grand Canyon and saw some animals e.g. Gelada monkeys, Bushbuck,Walia Ibex, many birds and the special plant Giant Lobelia. We joined 4 days Simien mountain trip to Ras Bwahit, met Mitiku – the trekking guide is very familiar and knowledgeable of the area. He is from the village there, introduce the local area to others enthusiastically. We follow his pacing walk up gradually, easy adapted the attitude. He always spot the animals, birds and plants with clearly descriptions, made the hike became more interesting. We have wonderful hiking experience with spectacular landscapes in Simien mountain.
“Mitiku was our guide during our 4 day stay at the LimaLimo lodge in Simien mountains.
We had a wondeful time and enjoyed the hikes so much. Mitiku is a professional, knowledgable and enthusiastic guide, patient and kind. He sensed and respected our pace (fitness level) and tailored the tours according to our needs / wishes. We could not have asked for a better guide! Warm recommendations for Simien tracking as well as for other tours in the region.”

In November 2017, five of us aged between 52 and 69 set out to trek for a month in Ethiopia with Mitiku Dessie as our guide throughout. We began in the Simien Mountains, attempted the trek from the Simiens to Lalibela and ended up hiking on the Bale Plateau.
I cannot speak highly enough of Mitiku. He has such an extensive knowledge about, and love for, the highlands. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he did everything he could to make our walking varied, exciting and challenging – but within our limits (just!).
He is an absolute diplomat and navigated us safely and calmly throughout all sorts of interesting situations. His command of English is incredible and he has a wonderful sense of humour. He is also a bird enthusiast – which delighted all of us.
This was my second trip to Ethiopia. I met Mitiku the first time round, and I can’t wait to go back.

“Incredible scenery and wildlife during our 4 day 3 night stay. Mitiku is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about flora and fauna in the area. Made sure we were looked after well at the camps and food was delicious for every meal. We would definitely recommend him if you plan to go, as having the right guide will really make your trip as good as it can be…
All in all the area is well worth visiting, as you’ll see things that you won’t find anywhere else in the world, and Mitiku made the experience even better!”
