An Unforgettable 10-Day Journey Through Ethiopia
My 10-day journey through Ethiopia was truly one of the most incredible travel experiences I’ve ever had. Visiting Addis Ababa, Lalibela, and the Omo Valley gave me the perfect opportunity to discover Ethiopia’s rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and extraordinary cultural diversity.
From the moment I arrived in Addis Ababa, everything was seamlessly organized. A special thank you to Ashu, the manager, whose professionalism, excellent planning, and constant support ensured that every part of the trip went smoothly. His attention to detail and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.
Lalibela was simply magical. The ancient rock-hewn churches are beyond words, and learning about their history and spiritual significance made the visit even more meaningful. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Deacon, our guide in Lalibela. His deep knowledge, passion, and heartfelt explanations brought the history and faith of this sacred place to life. It was an experience I will never forget.
The Omo Valley was the highlight of my journey. Meeting the indigenous communities and learning about their unique traditions was an unforgettable cultural experience. A huge thank you to Resh, my Omo Valley guide, whose expertise, kindness, and respect for the local communities made every visit authentic and enriching. His guidance allowed us to connect with the people and their traditions in a meaningful and respectful way.
Throughout the journey, I was constantly impressed by the warmth and hospitality of the Ethiopian people. Every destination offered something unique, from vibrant city life and fascinating history to spectacular scenery and unforgettable cultural encounters.
I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and life-changing travel experience. Ethiopia exceeded all my expectations, and I leave with wonderful memories, new friendships, and a deep appreciation for this remarkable country.
Thank you, Ashu, Resh, and Deacon, for making this journey so special. Your dedication, knowledge, and hospitality transformed a great trip into an unforgettable adventure. I hope to return to Ethiopia again one day

Excellent easy to book with and very knowledgeable, highly recommend
Excellent experience with Black Santa. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Kenya to book a tour
Professional, very knowledgeable
My wife and I booked with Meru Slopes for the 6 day safari. Gift Tembo coordinated our booking, he was prompt with text messages and available for phone calls at all times. He also coordinated free accommodation and food for us the night before and after our safari which was incredibly helpful, as well as transportation to and from the airport. Our guide Godfrey was great, he got us all big 5 as well as ugly 5, plus many more animals. Very knowledgeable guide as well. Our chef Salim always prepared good meals on time and provided us plenty of food with every meal. We would happily work with this company again. Well worth the price

True Maasai guide — experienced, knowledgeable and relentless about finding the best wildlife spots.
This experience has been a trip of a lifetime. The first game drive day was one of the most outstanding and memorable days of my life. Our guide, Richard, was an experienced, traditional Maasai man who answered every question we threw at him and never stopped hunting for the perfect wildlife moment. We saw 3 different prides of lions up close, elephant and giraffe families, leopards, cheetahs, a host of antelope types, hyenas, hippos, birds, and of course the beginning of the Great Migration for wildebeests, zebras and gazelles. The hotels/lodges we stayed at were exceptional and I highly recommend the Enishapai Resort and the Serenity Mara Legends Camp…both worth every bit of their 5 star rating. I’m so very grateful for this experience and what our guide did for us.

Great organization and personal care
We did a 23-day tour in Ethiopia with Arre and Solomon from Arre Tours.
The plan was wonderful.
It included:
- the Danakil Depression
- the Geralta churches
- the Simian Mountains
- the Omo Valley
Everything was as planned and even better than expected. They were very flexible and even made some changes on the way that improved on the original itinerary.
I highly recommend Arre tours for planning and executing a wonderful vacation in Ethiopia.

It’s was a really well organized experience, with a good guide - James-
It started with the planning skills from
Belinda who helped us to tailor the safari. Then we met with James who drove us to the Camp. the Lodge Camp was nice, well located and comfortable. People there were kind and helpful, food was good. The Safari was a blast. We did it jointly with three other girls, who were great. Not sure if Belinda paired them on purpose with us, but it definitely was a good match. It’s not always easy to have a good match with unknown people. During the Safari James told us many interesting facts about the animals and was really open to answer all our questions and most importantly keep us safe and conscious about the animals is the reserve.
I would have liked two things to be different: being able to fully paid the experience by card, getting cash to pay was not the best and second have heard more about the Masai village before going, I felt I was unprepared.

good
This trip to Kenya has far exceeded all my expectations. Our guide was extremely professional and knowledgeable, who spotted the Big Five for us on game drives effortlessly. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, witnessing stunning wildlife and breathtaking African sunsets. The lodges were cozy with delicious local food, and all staff were warm and welcoming. The Maasai village cultural visit was a precious highlight, letting us feel authentic local customs. Every arrangement was perfectly planned without any hassle. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure I’d highly recommend to everyone!
