Highly professional, perfect planning, organization, and timing.

5/5

Regarding communication, service, value for money, reliability and the trip, everything was perfect... My first trip to Ethiopia was a 10-day journey that exceeded my expectations! First, I encountered a very smiling and welcoming population, which allowed me, from the very first day, to let myself go and enjoy the visits and encounters... Parks: the Simien Mountains, Lakes Abijatta and Shalla National Park... Magnificent and very varied landscapes depending on the region and altitude: mountains, cliffs, forests, fields, crops... Hot springs at 93°C, very practical for cooking eggs, salt and freshwater lakes: Lake Tana (the largest lake in the country, where the Blue Nile originates...), Lake Langano, the Rift Valley, Lakes Shala and Abijatta... Animals: baboons, ostriches, warthogs, jackals, gazelles, birds, more than 450 species... Not forgetting Gondar Castle, the churches and monasteries, the 11 unique churches of Lalibela carved from a single block of volcanic rock, and its painted masterpieces. Sculptures... markets bursting with color and fragrance, the unique falls of the Blue Nile, boat cruises, very comfortable and varied hotels...And I will finish with its traditional dish, injera, with or without meat, but especially with a variety of delicious vegetables: tomatoes, cabbage, chickpeas, lentils, beets, potatoes, kidney beans, onions, chilies... Of course, this delicious meal cannot end without a pure, traditional Arabica coffee served during the 'traditional and ritualized coffee ceremony (Buna)', with incense... I also had the chance to attend the exceptional Orthodox mass (3 hours) on Sunday, November 30th in Lalibela with its chants, dances, music, costumes, and colors... Ethiopia, the only non-colonized country in Africa, is a country with a unique history that deserves to be known, completely different from other African countries... Of course, my stay would not have been so wonderful and successful without 'my' guide, Hailu, a man of exceptional human and intellectual qualities, a great lover of his country, with immense knowledge of Ethiopia, of Africa, Europe, and the world have allowed me to better understand the history and culture of this exceptional country... My stay ended with a meal and a dance party in Addis Ababa, in an exceptional and unique multicultural venue...

Very nice team taking care about each individual, you can really trust and relax!

5/5

I felt very comfortable from the beginning, the whole team was very friendly, took care of everything, was experienced and gave the impression to really work as a team! The tents were very good, the driver prudent, the cook was excellent and our guide really perfect, friendly, he knew everything, had a careful eye on the whole group and team and really likes to work with people.
The team also handled problems very flexible and in a very smooth way. The tour itself was full of different, beautiful aspects of south ethiopia, from the mountains, Coffee, agriculture and animals to salt lake and Hippos, seeing nature and meeting people. Two weeks full of beautiful impressions and experiences! Thanks you!!!

fantastic

5/5

I wanted to go to Ethiopia with my dog, and the agency's professionalism allowed me to make my dream come true. It was a wonderful experience: I saw beautiful places, met fantastic people, and above all, I had 24-hour assistance from my guide, Girum. The hotels were all excellent, obviously compared to Ethiopian standards. The food was excellent, and for car transfers, the drivers were always excellent, especially Gigi.

Discover the marvels of Ethiopia with a great team

5/5

Our trip was amazing. We spent 2 weeks travelling and exploring new places from the North to the South of Ethiopia. Our guides, Mareg (for Addis Abeba) and Abebaw were fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable and at all times committed to making this a wonderful experience. Mareg took us on a fascinating one day tour of Addis which included the Shola market and the spiritual sanctuary on the Entoto Mountains, a marvelous spot of peace and prayer away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.
Our guide Abebaw Tilahun was an amazing one: mediator, interpreter, friend. He was always helpful and introduced us to some great culinary traditions of Ethiopia as well as to the important stories and legends surrounding Lalibela, the role of the Christianity and the beautiful wildlife (marabou storks, hippos, crocodiles, flamingoes, egrets, ostrichs, fish eagles, gelada monkeys, Colombo monkeys, and many more). The accommodation we had was generally good or very good, in some cases quite charming! The information provided by guides and operators were always complete and helpful. Last but not least: our drivers too were great: Atakilt was crucial to make it in time to Bole airport and navigating the busy streets of Addis, Abreraw drove us safely in Bahir Dar and the North, in Lalibela we had the friendly Derebe and for the South the amazing Bekele. I highly recommend Simien Eco Tours to anyone who wants to discover such a great and beautiful country. They have the expertise and great people to make this a truly memorable experience.

Perfect Agency for Ethiopia

5/5

There were five of us travelling with Simien Eco Tours trip for a week in northern Ethiopia. Semera, Erta Ale, Danakil Depression, Dallol, Mekele and finally Lalibela. We felt well looked after the whole time and never felt unsafe for a second. In my opinion, Simien Eco Tours is the perfect agency for trips to Ethiopia.
