Unforgettable solo adventure in Northern Ethiopia with Essence Ethiopia Tours
5/5

I booked a 10-day tour as a female solo traveler with Essence Ethiopia Tours and it was probably one of the best trips in my life. Tsehaynew, in the lead on organizing the logistics of my all-inclusive trip, and based in Addis, was very responsive since the first contact and ensured extremely smooth coordination. In the preparatory phases, he accommodated all my preferences in terms of itinerary and later, he remained flexible and attentive in order to adjust the trip, even along the way, to offer the best experience. Starting from Addis, my itinerary included Lalibela, Gondar, the Simien Mountains National Park, Bahir Dar, the Danakil Depression and Axum. In each location, a dedicated driver and guides were waiting for me, and I had guided tours every day of my trip, which contributed enormously to my understanding of the places I was visiting. All of the staff I met on my way, coordinated by Tsehaynew, were extremely cordial. In terms of safety/security, the Gondar-Bahir Dar area axis demands caution due to the prevalence of anti-government militias. I would recommend minimizing road transfers as much as possible, while rather reaching the various destinations by plane to ensure a safe experience. The domestic flight network is indeed very well organized, flights are very short (1 hour at most), and with the help of Essence Ethiopia Tours, the airport pickup/drop-off and check in formalities go really fast and smooth. Overall, I would really recommend this tour operator. Tsehaynew went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience, and he has a great sense of hospitality and client orientation. I left Ethiopia knowing that I will return sometime, and I will definitely reach out to Essence Ethiopia Tours again.

Well organized
5/5

Did Omo Valley trip through this company.
Everything was well organised.
Guide Reshid was always on time, very polite and attentive.
Hotels were basic, but I didn't see any other options in that region. I guess you just need to be open minded and flexible when you go on this tour. Most importantly Reshid made sure I cover everything what was promised and more.
Thank you

Excellent organization
5/5

I recently did a seven day tour of Ethiopia, to Addis, Lalibela and Danakil. Essence Ethiopia did a great job and made everything super easy and hassle-free. Everything went smoothly, from the airport transfer to accommodation to domestic flights to the trips themselves. I highly recommend using Essence Ethiopia for your trip as it allowed me to just enjoy my time, without having to worry about any logistics.

Exceptional Tour Experience in Ethiopia
5/5

I had an amazing experience traveling Ethiopia with a local tour operator. From the moment everything was booked to the end of the trip, their team was professional, friendly, and really knowledgeable about the country and its culture. The guides were excellent, the logistics smooth, and the itinerary was perfectly organized — I felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. It truly made my trip unforgettable, and I’d highly recommend booking your Ethiopian adventure with them!

Good job
5/5

A very successful trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information. His assistance with taking photos was invaluable. The intimate hotel with Wi-Fi and friendly service also deserves the highest rating. I highly recommend it.
