About the Founder

Sycamore Ethiopia Tours was founded by Haile Demewoz, a renowned and highly experienced Ethiopian tour guide and operator. Born and raised in Mekelle, Tigray, Haile began my career guiding travelers through the ancient churches and mountains of Tigray. My passion is storytelling, cultural preservation, and authentic travel experiences led to become a licensed national guide, and eventually, the founder of my own tour company. With over a decade of hands-on experience in Ethiopia's tourism industry,I have a deep understanding of the country’s history, culture, and geography. My commitment to exceptional customer service and personalized travel planning ensures that every guest experiences Ethiopia not just as a tourist, but as a true explorer. Traveling with Sycamore Ethiopia Tours is like opening the book of Ethiopia and reading it in action. Under my leadership, Sycamore Ethiopia Tours has grown into a respected brand known for quality, integrity, and unforgettable journeys.

“My family and I had a trip to Tigrai churches for five days. We booked our trip with Sycamore Ethiopia Tours who based in Mekelle. Haile was our professional tour guide and owner of the company who organised our trip perfectly. He makes our stay very easy and enjoyable and is personal, helpful, and knowledgeable. His services are well worth. We had an unforgettable time in Tigrai with some incredible food and a great knowledge and culture of his region. "
