Unikatna, varna in cenovno dostopna afriška izkušnja
Essence Ethiopia Tours is a professional and reliable travel agency, with which it was great to work from the moment I started to negotiate the 9-day program with its director. The price of the trip was affordable for me, the program and accommodations can obviously be adjusted to the individual's budget and his/her wishes. I traveled alone and Tsehaynnew was available 24 hours a day. He always sent me all the necessary information, departure and arrival times, boarding passes for flights, checked how I was feeling, answered my additional questions. I am grateful that he adjusted the program on the last day due to my poor health. Both main destinations in the program that I chose, Danakil depression and Omo valley, despite their differences, offered me a unique experience. Visiting the hottest inhabited place in the world was demanding due to the heat, but wonderful and unforgettable due to the breathtaking nature and good company (I was part of the group). Reshid, the guide and driver in Omo valley, told me a lot of interesting things while visiting four ethnic groups and made sure that I saw a special ceremony of the Hamer tribe and ate traditional food the whole time, for which I am really grateful. Moges, the guide in Addis Ababa, was also great, we saw all the special sights - from museums to the largest open market in Africa, and when I wanted to buy special Ethiopian scarves, I got them with his help😊. Tsehaynnew is a friendly man who is also loved by the guides and drivers he works with. He solves all dilemmas on the spot, because he puts the well-being and good experiences of passengers first.🥰

Everything as planned perfectly
I had a great time with Tsehaynew, a fantastic tour guide who knows his job very well and helped me a lot because without his help I probably would have had several problems.
I speak Italian and English, but I didn't know Amharic, and he translated for me.

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 😊

Experience and professionalism is wotthy of high praises.

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.
