The most helpful and service minded travel agency you Can find in Addis
We had a very Good driver (Bekele) on our tour to Langano and Awassa! He was service minded and very Good driver. We never felt that We were in any risky situation with Bekele as a driver!
The accomodation was great.
The program for four days was very Good!
Senait Ethiopia tours had long expirience and knowledge about What kind of program you Can visit on different part of the country!

Excellent service
We have been using Senait Ethiopia for our annual grade 8 school trip to Northern Ethiopia for the last seven years and their service and large group tour organizing capability is excellent. All these years we have not had a single problem. Despite the large number of students going everything was organized superbly at all destinations. Choice of tour sites and organized activities were always appropriate to the group and prepared professionally.

I have used this company's services 2 times. I feel like we're friends, Senait Ethiopian Tour is more than just a tour company, good value and if I come back to Ethiopia again I still choose Senait. Thanks for all of things.

A well organised in-bound tour to beautiful Ethiopia
We have recently returned from a 22-day trip through Ethiopia (October 2023) that we booked through Senait Ethiopia Tours and must give a huge shout out to the team at Senait.
Firstly, and importantly, we doubt that you will find a more honest tour operator than the owner of Senait, Taddese Atlaw. We initially booked our tour in 2019, pre-Covid. A deposit was paid and then of course, out travel plans were disrupted for a few years. Taddese honoured our deposit for a trip we finally managed to take four years later. That is customer service!
The team Senait used are all to be commended. Every one of them gave generously of their local knowledge, opinions and guidance and happily answered the many, many questions we threw at them. The tour was extremely well organised and all vehicles and accommodation were of a high calibre. A couple of guides/drivers need particular mention. Mr. Meseret (Messi) (Barhi Dar-Gondor-Simian Mountains- Lalibela) whom we used for the first 10 days is our brother. A careful driver, a thoughtful and reflective person, and a lover of good music. Mr. Leul was our guide in Lalibela, and organised the cooking experience for us. Mr. Yacob Kedir both met us from the airport and delivered us back after a wonderful tour of the Rift and Omo Valleys.
The tour itinerary was well thought out. We hit almost all the highlights including hanging with the Gelada (grass eating monkeys) in the Simian Mountains, the famous hewn rock churches of Lalibela, overnighting under the stars in the spectacular Danakil Depression, and engaging with some of the highly varied tribespeople of the Omo Valley.
The cuisine of Ethiopia is very good, and we enjoyed learning how to cook traditional food in a local family’s back garden. We will definitely be trying this at home!
Security questions still hang over this beautiful country, but they are not as bad as western travellers are often led to believe by their Governmental agencies. Senait were always on top of any security concerns, and organised our trip to fly-over any state borders to avoid any potential conflict. They monitored our activities daily and forewarned us when there would likely be no internet. We didn’t get to Tigray, Somali or the Western States as Senait deemed them too uncertain from a security POV. That gives us an excuse for revisiting at some time in the future!
This was a well organised and fascinating tour. We experienced the culture, nature, cuisine, and various religions of the region. We have absolutely no hesitation recommending Senait Ethiopian Tours to our fellow travellers.

Exceptional
Ethiopia has been on my bucket list for years and choosing the right tour company was really important to me especially taking my Dad there for the first time. SENAIT Ethiopia Tours really understand customer service at the highest level. They looked after my Dad and I exceptionally well throughout the tour and each city we travelled we had a very knowledgeable and friendly local guide in Addis, Bahir Dar and Lalibela. We learnt so much and the beauty of Ethiopia should not be missed, we’ll be back to again in the future and would be happy to choose the same company again.

The tour operator is supremely professional, pays attention to every detail, and totally honest.
I conduct photography tours all over the world. In Ethiopia, I use Senait Ethiopia Tours because they are the best. They are a pleasure to work with, they take care of every detail, and if there is a problem -- like a charter plane with mechanical issues -- they are on the phone taking care of the problem. A tour to Ethiopia for a group of photographers is quite complex. It involves multi-vehicle caravans, camping, charter flights, meal planning, commercial flights, relationships with tribal chiefs, and more. I've now completed two tours to Ethiopia using Senait, first with 14 people and then with 12 people, and each time everything worked like clockwork. All of our drivers, guides, and camp personnel couldn't have been nicer. Our primary guide, Gebre, stayed with us the entire trip and he was nothing less than phenomenal. The meals we had surprised my clients' expectations because they were so good, even when we camped for two nights in the Omo River Valley. You might find another company that is as good as Senait, but you won't find one that's better.

I highly recommend the company to organize your stay in Ethiopia. The most important thing is to convey the scope of your requirements, they will cope 100%. Very professional guides and drivers.

Exceptional experience
Great experience dealing with Taddese, great communicator and recommended the right things to do. Always felt safe and taken care of. Had a great guide the whole time. We were a family with three kids, ages 5-10 years old.

Ethiopian beauties and contrasts tour
My 17-year-old daughter and I had a blast visiting Gondar, the Simien mountains, Lalibela and the Danakil Depression.
The Senait team at each location was reliable, kind, knowledgeable and fun to travel with.
The country is amazing in its diversity and beauty.
I highly recommend visiting Ethiopia, and using Senait to do so.
Thanks to the whole team and, maybe, see you all soon again!
Senait Ethiopia Tours Is Simply The Best!!!

Day 2 /2024: Flight to Lalibela and visit the churches. Overnight Sora lodge/Similar
Day 3 /2024: Morning visit some churches and transfer to the airport for the flight back to Addis. On arrival transfer to the hotel. Overnight Swiss Inn Nexus Addis/ Similar

Day 5 /2024: Drive to Hawzen and then visit Abune Yematah Guh church with climbing. It is challenging to climb but worthy. Overnight Vision hotel basic.
Day 6 /2024: Visit another Gheralta church and then proceed to Mekele airport to take the flight back to Addis, have farewell dinner, departure and end of the trip.
I chose what I wanted to accomplish in Ethiopia, Senait Ethiopia Tours put the scheduling together. I absolutely enjoyed every bit of this trip. The Tour guides are amazing (listen to the advice they give as well).
I felt very welcomed / comfortable in Ethiopia.
