Everything as planned perfectly
5/5

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.

Unikatna, varna in cenovno dostopna afriška izkušnja
5/5

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.🥰

Very good tour!
5/5

Had a wonderful trip to the Omo Valley with a private tour. In 4 days I managed to see 5 different tribes. Absolutely happy with the trip. Everything was good - guide, transport, accommodation. Additionally, I ordered two more tours from Addis Ababa. Also good.
I can honestly recommend this company for ordering tours in Ethiopia.
