Well organized
Did Omo Valley trip through this company.
Everything was well organised.
Guide Reshid was always on time, very polite and attentive.
Hotels were basic, but I didn't see any other options in that region. I guess you just need to be open minded and flexible when you go on this tour. Most importantly Reshid made sure I cover everything what was promised and more.
Thank you

Unforgettable solo adventure in Northern Ethiopia with Essence Ethiopia Tours
I booked a 10-day tour as a female solo traveler with Essence Ethiopia Tours and it was probably one of the best trips in my life. Tsehaynew, in the lead on organizing the logistics of my all-inclusive trip, and based in Addis, was very responsive since the first contact and ensured extremely smooth coordination. In the preparatory phases, he accommodated all my preferences in terms of itinerary and later, he remained flexible and attentive in order to adjust the trip, even along the way, to offer the best experience. Starting from Addis, my itinerary included Lalibela, Gondar, the Simien Mountains National Park, Bahir Dar, the Danakil Depression and Axum. In each location, a dedicated driver and guides were waiting for me, and I had guided tours every day of my trip, which contributed enormously to my understanding of the places I was visiting. All of the staff I met on my way, coordinated by Tsehaynew, were extremely cordial. In terms of safety/security, the Gondar-Bahir Dar area axis demands caution due to the prevalence of anti-government militias. I would recommend minimizing road transfers as much as possible, while rather reaching the various destinations by plane to ensure a safe experience. The domestic flight network is indeed very well organized, flights are very short (1 hour at most), and with the help of Essence Ethiopia Tours, the airport pickup/drop-off and check in formalities go really fast and smooth. Overall, I would really recommend this tour operator. Tsehaynew went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience, and he has a great sense of hospitality and client orientation. I left Ethiopia knowing that I will return sometime, and I will definitely reach out to Essence Ethiopia Tours again.

Efficiently provides exactly what you ask for.
When I discovered Essence Ethiopia, I wrote to them about a solo tour. I was not flexible on the time but the company made it work. Within seconds I was responded to with choices of places to see. It was truly tailored made. I saw all the wonderful things I wanted to study. The guides in each city were very knowledgeable and ensured I had the best possible time. If I had to choose a tour operator in Ethiopia, Essence Ethiopia, would be my go to choice.
