Great first trip to Ethiopia

5.00We recently made our first trip to Ethiopia, from Amsterdam to Addis Ababa, with Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel, and everything was perfectly arranged. From arrival in Addis Ababa everything went smoothly and professionally. Transfers, domestic flights and all other practicalities were excellently organized, which gave us a lot of rest during the trip. The tour of northern Ethiopia was an absolute highlight. We were accompanied by the Dutch guide Alex, who was very knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant to deal with. His explanation of history, culture and daily life gave extra depth to each place visited. All accommodations during the trip were very good, clean and comfortable. The itinerary was well constructed and didn't feel rushed. For our first encounter with Ethiopia, we could not have asked for a better experience. We strongly recommend Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel for anyone who wants to discover Ethiopia in a carefree and well-organized way.
An incredible 7-Day Adventure in Bale Mountains National Park

5.00My 7-day trip to Bale Mountains National Park with Aman Ethiopia Tours, and it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Our guide, Joseph, was outstanding — very knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about nature and wildlife. He explained everything in detail and made sure we never missed any important sightings. Our driver, Niko, was equally excellent: safe, professional, and experienced, which made traveling through the park and surrounding areas very comfortable.The nature in Bale Mountains is simply stunning. The landscapes are cool, fresh, and incredibly diverse, from alpine meadows to vast plateaus. Thanks to the careful planning and expertise of the team, I was lucky enough to see Mountain Nyala, ibex, antelope, and the rare Ethiopian Wolf, which was a true highlight of the trip.Originally, I was considering visiting Simien Mountains National Park, but due to safety concerns, Aman Ethiopia Tours professionally advised me to choose Bale Mountains instead. It turned out to be the perfect decision — safe, peaceful, and incredibly rewarding. Everything was well organized, and the company clearly prioritizes safety, comfort, and quality experiences.
heartfelt appreciation!

5.00We contacted the Aman Ethiopia Tours & Travel team and requested a personalized quote. Neway was a great help and very accommodating throughout the organization. We left Addis Ababa and took a Land Cruiser to Jimma, where our guide, Shahsa, and our driver, Niko, were waiting for us. Both were kind and attentive, and even contacted us a week before departure to make sure everything was in order. Our itinerary was a 7-day photo tour including Jimma, Kaffa and Suri. We were able to observe a wide variety of birds and visit coffee plantations. Shahsa shared with us a lot of interesting information, not only about tribes and wildlife, but also about Suri tribe culture. He was extremely competent and very friendly. In summary, we were very satisfied with the trip and highly recommend this agency.
Our tour operator was very informative and transparent.

5.00My family of four loved our experience. We were able to observe a wide variety of birds in the Balé mountains and our tour operator was very accommodating. After talking to other travellers along the way, I found that Faithfull Adventures was very transparent about all services and provided excellent connection before and during our trip.
Great trip across Ethiopia!

5.00I spent 2 wonderful weeks with them, without any problem. We visited both the top and the north, churches, tribes, desert, volcano etc, everything was perfect, unforgettable experiences! The resorts are very good, clean, with good food, even the Spa where it was possible! Our guide Yihun was always present at our needs and with a lot of knowledge about the places visited. We spent a few days in the car, we drove hundreds of kilometers and we never felt in danger! Very good and comfortable cars. And Sis (our driver) is a wonderful boy, with a lot of good sense, attentive to our needs and he has rich knowledge about the places we visited! Thank you Yihun for everything and thank you Sis for the days we spent together. I will remember everything fondly! 🙏🤗

5.00My friend and I had organized our Ethiopia from November 6th to November 16th from this travel agency: It was our first time in Ethiopia and overall we enjoyed it, although some aspects can be improved. Communication with the agency was very quick and efficient throughout and our accommodations were good (budget option), except the first in Addis Ababa, where we spent two nights and both food and bathrooms (barely necessary and with unstable hot water) were not the best. Our driver, Noah, was a nice guy and he provided appropriate expatiations during the game drives Our program included a visit to Lake Chamo and the village of Dorze: They are not bad, but I think two days is too many and it is better to skip at least one of them and have more time for Nech Sar Park, and when we realized this during the trip, they told us it was not safe. I would have liked to spend more time in the park, too, but I took the advice of the company. All in all, the lodge in Arba Minch was nice and the arrangement was great. Anyway, apart from the previous points, we had a good time.
Amazing Experiences Again!
