WHO ARE ORGANIZING YOUR TOURS?

We are Katharina Ley from Germany and Mulugeta Demssie from Ethiopia. MUKA has been our project since we met in Girona, Spain for a joint tourism master degree program. After working and living in Ethiopia, USA, Hong Kong and Germany, we founded this small specialized tour operator. We name it “MUKA Ethiopia Tours”. We love to share our passion for traveling to Ethiopia and discovering new cultures with you. At MUKA, we help travelers to have a closer look at the destinations and local communities in Ethiopia. Our concept is fairness, and we promote fair trade in tourism in our tours to Ethiopia. Thus, local communities get their fair share from both our tours and your trip to Ethiopia. We believe this is one way of supporting the sustainable development of local communities in tourism destinations by increasing communities’ income from tourism.

All our private Ethiopia tours are planned and conducted by ourselves. We are familiar with every single tourist attraction in Ethiopia and traveled through the whole country. We visited every place included in our tours and checked the quality of each accommodation. Hence, our tours are full of insiders’ tips and exciting encounters with locals. When you choose to travel with us, your tour is completely from us. Therefore, there are no intermediary agencies between you and us. Let us take you to the wonderful places in one of our Ethiopia tours. Or contact us for customized private tours. We are happy to advise and provide you with non-binding offers.
