Well Planned , Smart
We had an excellent experience with Essence Ethiopia tours during our Addis Ababa sightseeing tour and our trip to the Danakil Depression and Dalol. Everything was well organized, and the local knowledge shared during the tours made the experience even more meaningful.
When our flights were unexpectedly cancelled, he went out of his way to help us reschedule them smoothly, which removed a lot of stress from our journey. Throughout the entire trip, we felt very safe, well taken care of, and genuinely supported.
They were always helpful, responsive, and attentive to our needs, even in challenging and remote areas like Danakil. We highly recommend this operator to anyone planning to explore Ethiopia, especially Addis Ababa, Danakil Depression, and Dalol.

The safest way to enjoy your trip to Ethiopia!
From the moment we arrived to Ethiopia, until the very end of our trip, we felt safe in the hands of Essence Ethiopia Tours and Tsehaynew. Not only did we stayed in the capital, but we also made two excursions, one to Lalibela and the other to the Omo Valley, and everything was organized by Tsehaynew and his tour agency. The most important thing about Tsehaynew is that he listens and will take action if any issue may arise. If we ever going to return to Ethiopia, I will definitely be contacting him again.

Great Experience and Smooth Arrangements
I had a memorable and valuable 11-day trip across Ethiopia, and I’m very satisfied with Tsehaynew’s arrangements and prompt responses. Despite a complex itinerary—from Addis Ababa to the Simien Mountains, Danakil Depression, and Omo Valley—everything was organized smoothly.
The city tour in Addis, trekking in the Simiens, the Danakil adventure (Dallol and Erta Ale), and the cultural visits in South Omo were all well planned and meaningful. Logistics, flights, accommodations, and transfers were handled professionally, and I felt supported throughout the journey.
I highly recommend this travel agency for anyone looking to explore Ethiopia with reliable planning and warm hospitality.

Excellent service
Dear Brother,
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent service you provided during my visit to Addis Ababa.
My experience with you was truly outstanding, and it made my trip comfortable and memorable.
I would especially like to thank the tour guide Salee, who demonstrated great knowledge, professionalism, and a helpful and respectful attitude. He was truly reliable and honest in everything, and his expertise added tremendous value to my trip.
I also want to thank the driver for his respectful attitude, polite manner, and safe, calm driving throughout the journey. His presence added a lot to my comfort during transportation.
Thank you once again for everything. I truly appreciate your efforts, and you will definitely be my first choice on any future visit to Addis Ababa.
Warm regards,
Mohammed

He is very helpful
Overall, my trip with this company was excellent. All the activities and sites listed were fully covered during the journey, and most importantly, they were very flexible with the traveler’s wishes—whether you want to change something or cancel an activity.
They have excellent tour guides who speak fluent English, and the prices are suitable for all budgets.
In the end, I highly recommend this company. Thank you.
