Experienced tour operator
My recent trip to Ethiopia was nothing short of extraordinary. I had the opportunity to explore the Danakil Depression and the Omo Valley.
The Danakil Depression with its salt plains, Dallol with neon yellow and green sulfur fields, the area felt like a scene from Mars.
Hiking to Erta Ale was a highlight. Our guide and driver were knowledgeable and made us feel safe throughout the trip. Other members of the team made sure we have enough drinking water, food and mattress even in such remote conditions.
Omo Valley region is home to some of Africa’s ethnic tribes, where we visited the Mursi, Karo, and Dassanech peoples. Our local guide ensured that our visits were respectful.
This Ethiopia trip is one of the most unique travel experiences I’ve ever had. It’s not a luxury destination – but it is unforgettable and deeply enriching.
I would recommend it for any adventurous travelers. Mr Sun from Essence Ethiopia Tours had organised our trip very well from start to finish. Thumbs-up to Mr Sun 😊

Our trip to Ethiopia with Essence Ethiopia Tours was absolutely unforgettable! Mr. Tsehaynew Akanie , our planner, went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of the trip was perfectly arranged. From the very beginning, he was attentive, thoughtful, and always available to help with any questions. It was really a very good experience. Itinerary and budget was really good.
The accommodations were top-notch, with clean and hygienic hotels that exceeded our expectations. The food quality was also exceptional, with a great variety of options to suit every taste.
Our drivers for Danakil Depression and visit explore tribe and city tour was wonderful throughout the trip. They were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe on the roads. They made sure we were comfortable at all times, and his punctuality was greatly appreciated. The entire experience was stress-free, thanks to the thoughtful planning and care provided by Mr. Tsehaynew Akanie.

Excellent!!
I went on a tour of the Omo Valley. It was a great trip to experience the real nature of Africa while looking around various tribes. My driver Famish, who helped me in Zinka, did his best. Thanks to this, my trip became more fruitful. I was very impressed by the travel agency's sincere attitude toward customers from the beginning to the end. If you want to really feel Ethiopia and Africa, I recommend you to go on a tour of the Omo Valley.

Professional, responsive, client-oriented
With this travel agency I have visited Gondor, Simein mountains and Lalibela. I was teavelling by myself and have felt safe all the time. Agency's staff members were willing to accomodate all specific requests comming from my side. I would definetly recomend this agency for all those who want to explore Ethiopia

Incredible and spectacular
Travel Review – Spain, June 2025
I just returned from an unforgettable trip to Spain, and I can't help but share my deep gratitude for the experience. It was 15 unique days, filled with beauty, excitement, and details curated with exceptional care. It wasn't just a trip… it was a transformative experience.
From the very beginning, the organizing agency demonstrated a level of professionalism, closeness, and attention to detail that I've rarely seen. Each stage of the itinerary was lovingly planned, balancing culture, relaxation, gastronomy, art, and moments of emotional connection. Everything worked out perfectly: on-time transfers, charming accommodations, soulful guided tours, and local experiences that made us feel part of the country.
But if there's someone who deserves special recognition, it's Sun, the soul behind this adventure. Her passion, generosity, sensitivity, and commitment to our well-being made each day better than the last. He was attentive to everything, always with a smile, resolving unexpected issues before we even noticed, and giving his all in every detail. Thank you, Sun, for your humanity, for your excellence, and for making this trip forever etched in our hearts.
I'll be back. And I'll be back with you. Because when you find a professional who puts their heart and soul into what they do, you need look no further.
