There are several theories of the wearing of lip plates: disfiguring to prevent enslavement by Arabs in antiquity; protection against the penetration of evil spirits into the body through the mouth; determination of social status, showing the amount of cattle that the groom must pay as a dowry for the bride owning the plate. Mursi are unsurpassed masters of scarification. The scars on their bodies symbolize social status and past merits. The scars are created by using a razor blade and camel thorn. To achieve a bulge, an ash or a fly larva is planted in the wound, which, among other things, eliminates all possible infections. later drive to Jinka airport for your flight back to Addis Ababa End of Service

5.00We used Aman Tours for a private, customized 6-day tour to Gondar, Bahir Dar and Lalibela. Aman himself is very professional, attentive and service-oriented. Our guide was Joseph, who was excellent, knowledgeable, very friendly and took good care of us all the time. Our driver Niko was also a real asset and a great driver. The roads were sometimes bumpy and the weather posed challenges. Niko was obviously very experienced and responsible and we were impressed with how he did it. Joseph and Niko were a great team and worked well together. We will definitely use Aman Tours again and request Joseph and Niko as our guide and driver and highly recommend them to anyone considering a tour in Ethiopia.
I have done the 7-day tours in Ethiopia these last days!

The key factor is definitely Josepsh, he is the man, a must-have guide! He is very skilled, an excellent spotter and tracker, most of the time the first on site even he is so friendly with the tribes of south Ethiopia and all the local guide know him…). Last but not least as human being he is very friendly !

5.00Me and my boyfriend traveled by road from Addis Ababa to southern part of Ethiopia to experience the different cultures and the way of life of the different tribes. We had an incredible time thanks to the professionalism and help of the people of Aman Tours. We were lucky to have the amazing driver Niko with us who helped us a lot with everything we needed during our trip. On our return, we were met upon arrival and we also had a city tour with Mohamed as a guide who had great knowledge of Ethiopian history and spoke very good English. We are grateful to the whole team for this experience together with Joseph and Neway even though we spent little time with them. We definitely recommend them and we look forward to coming back on our next trip.
Aman try his own best to client request to be fulfilled.

5.00I traveled with this company for 2nd time , I visited Lalibela recently and I decided to come Ethiopia with friends to explore the semn mountain with denakil depressions, We actually confirmed our 12 days tours last Feb 2020 and we already paid the advance payments to Aman company..Amanuel the owner of the company is a friendly and nice people that have many kindness and willingness parts for giving options and choices for us. We were actually arrived 1 days before when the current situations happened in Ethiopia but the next days early in the morning before we fly to the tourist area Aman arrived in our hotels & he explained all the situations alerts around the North, Immediately we got a call from our embassy about the same issues and were informed to stay in Addis only,Amanuel he will tell you about what to do and don't in all aspects to make us save and finally we decided to see Omo tribes for 5 days and we have seen harar 4 days....whenever we need Aman he will be ready. Amanuel and his teams in omo and harar care about our safety and our need,Aman was checking twice a day and always say everything is safe......it mean Aman try his own best to client request to be fulfilled. We are happy with Aman company service and will recommended to our friends again and again We wish all Ethiopian Peace & Love!
