Everything was organized to our satisfaction.
We went on a short trip to the Simien Mountains near Gondar. Everything was excellently organized – the pickups were always on time, and our guide, Abebaw Tilahun, provided us with a lot of interesting background information about the country and its people. Our driver also got us safely through the sometimes impassable terrain despite the heavy rains. Overall, a thoroughly successful tour that we can highly recommend!

Very well organized tour !
Best way of visiting Ethiopia is a Tour organized by Simien Eco Tours. Our guide, David, spoke good French and was able to give us all explanations of the places we’ve been visiting.

Meeting communities in harmony with nature.
I went on a 4 day trip with SimienEcoTours to the Guge Mountain near to Arba Minch.
It was such a unique experience. Meeting communities on the way to the top, eating and participating in daily lifestyle and routines, crossing agricultural land in perfect harmony with nature and being accompanied by kind, knowledgeable, sensitive, amazing guides. It was a one-kind experience. My heartfelt thanks !! I will carry the memories fondly with me.

Experience Ethiopia's peoples
I had the pleasure of going on a group trip to southern Ethiopia in February and it was simply unforgettable! The insights into the lives of Ethiopians were impressive and gave me a whole new perspective on this wonderful country.
The trekking tours through the remote villages allowed us to experience the incredible diversity and warm hospitality of the people at first hand. Every day was a new adventure and I am grateful for the many wonderful memories I was able to take home with me.
Special thanks go to our guide Abebe, who inspired us with his knowledge and passion for the country. The entire team - from the cook to the driver - also did a great job and made sure that we felt comfortable and well looked after at all times.
A big thank you also to Marco for organizing this fantastic trip. I highly recommend this experience!

It is easy to travel with SimienEcoTours, because the planning was perfect and was realized
Our guide Joshua was very qualified, empathic and caring. It was easy to discuss with him our requests for modification. As a proud Ethiopian, he represented his country excellently and it accessible to us.
The local guides we met had an excellent knowledge of what they showed to us but their english was for us as non-native speaker sometimes difficult. Joshua several times tried to help us.
The hotels they choosed for us were all ok, very friendly staff and good facilities (such as pool, sauna)
Culturally, historically and archeologically an extremely interesting country, but it is necessary, especially for elder clients to plan in between a little bit time for relax.
A must for people with cultural and geological interests in Africa, not for interests in fauna and flora.

Caring, reliable, attentive, well organised, very professional
We just returned from a 2weeks trip in Ethiopia. It was (again) a well organized trip by Simien Eco Tours. The trip was perfectly managed by our tourguide Yirga and the various drivers and other people we had with us. Our wishes regarding destinations were taken into account and there was still room for spontaneous things.
But not tnly this, we have been supported by stuff from SET already before we started the trip (Thank you again Zewditu!) and the guys were even reliable with unforeseen requests (thank you again Marco!)
We do appreciate your way to carry for tourists and to make a trip unforgettable.
