About Discover Simien Tours

Ethiopia's premier tour operator with over 15 years of experience creating unforgettable adventures

Our Story

Discover how we became Ethiopia's most trusted tour operator

From Passion to Profession

Founded in 2008, Discover Simien Tours began as a small family business with a shared passion for showcasing Ethiopia's extraordinary landscapes and rich cultural heritage. What started with just a few local guides and a single vehicle has grown into one of Ethiopia's most respected tour operators.

Our founder, Sahle, grew up in the shadow of the Simien Mountains, developing a deep connection with Ethiopia's natural wonders from an early age. After completing his education in tourism management, he combined his local knowledge with professional expertise to create authentic travel experiences that benefit both travelers and local communities.

Over the years, we've expanded our operations while maintaining our commitment to personalized service and sustainable tourism practices. Today, we're proud to be licensed by the Ethiopian Ministry of Tourism and an active member of the Ethiopian Tour Operators Association.
