5.00I had a great time with my tour guide Barch! I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Ethiopia. The beauty and history of this country is unparalleled. I will definitely go back to do the Northern part of Ethiopia once that region’s conflict has settled. Thank you so much for accommodating me!
Amazing and life changing experience! Ask for Firew as your guide! You will not be disappointed.

5.00I’m a solo traveller and I did a thorough research on where/who to book for my Ethiopian trip. I read all the reviews for Aman Ethiopia Tours and immediately I know that this company is who I’m going to choose. I booked a 7 day private tour. The communication between Aman and myself was very clear and very detailed. He was very accommodating to any of my request and even last minute changes! Also, I want to specially mention my guide/driver throughout this trip. My guide’s name is Firew. He was awesome from beginning to end. Firew made me feel safe throughout the journey, which I am very grateful for. As a solo traveler, safety is key and very important for me. Firew made me feel at ease specially when I visited all the tribes, which can be very overwhelming. I will never forget this trip. Not just I created amazing travel memories but also a friend! Thank you Aman and Firew for everything!

5.00I want to thank Aman Tours for the excellent arrangements during the 5-day travel to the SNNPR. The highlights of my visit are Konso, Omorate, Karo villages and Lake Chamo. The success of the travel won't be possible without the help of Mr. Niko, who had stayed with me throughout our journey.
Amantour the best

5.00It was Trustworthy service , makes the day so easy and we saw more than we would have on our own, private cars arranged in all the area with guide, stopped at tribes Market of omo,The locals tribes have an open market 3 days a week (ask about what days?) Then Amanuel will tell you and fortunately it happened in Thursday then we attended a big market, This 3 days omo tribes was truly a wonderful experience. Our guide shows us an authentic lunch and took us places with our interest.Aman tour team will be taken care of every step and the price was included everything, no hidden fees except photography fee.
Omo Valley Tours. What a nice experience!

5.00Tom and friends traveled to Omo for about 7 days and the main trip is to visit the different races (Driver/Alex, Guide/Shahsa AMAN ETHIOPIA) is an amazing visit to Doreze/ Mursi/ Hamer/ Dassanech. Learn more about Doreze’s food and drinking life than just eating fake banana tree food – a fun time. And the Mursi are an unforgettable experience. All races have different lifestyles and personalities and are worth a visit. Of course to remind others 1) too many races, too many people can be photographed, it is difficult to satisfy all people, the eyes are not too dare to see. (Limited fee... regret..) If you can discuss a reasonable amount with the local tour guide first, you should give less business experience than one by one. 2) Long distance pull! Maybe we can consider internal routes, less pull-and-drop. (Special thanks again to AMAN for temporarily helping to book tickets to fly back to ADD due to companions who can no longer pull)

5.00We had 15 remarkable & memorable days tours to north Ethiopia and omo valley tribes arranged by Aman Ethiopia Tours and guided exceptionally by Marko actually we were looking Aman guiding services and he told us he have another big groups from Europe but his company have a professional team of managers, guides and a great driver visiting the sites and enjoying the countryside and people of Ethiopia on our first but not last trip to Ethiopia. All Our accommodations suited each location with fabulous tourist attraction. Our driver , Samm, has to be commended for his excellent, safe driving and reliability. The last night was memorable getting spa services at the resort of Debre Ziet and before we leave Ethiopia we had a tasty Ethiopian dinner at Habesha and still Aman was calling to check every services and we were really happy because and absolutely we had a priceless 15 days with Aman Ethiopia Tours & his professional team.

5.00It was my second time to use Aman Ethiopia Tours services and my first tour was in Addis Ababa and my second trip was to Omo Valley Tribes and as a photographers I wanted to see the tribes and couch a lot of pictures for my business also to know more about the amazing cultural of Omo Valley Tribes. I only had a 7 days but with Aman & his teams he made it possible to experience a big part of the Omo valley tribes and in the best way possible and Aman Ethiopia Tours guide Debe knows the area like his home , he knows the culture to every detail and will enlighten you in this amazing culture (and there is SO much to discover!). He made the plan for the trip and what to see, and we were more than happy. It was one of the most amazing trips i had and I am thinking to return in September to see the Surma Tribes! Aman Ethiopia Tours is an awesome company that have awesome tour guide . We highly recommend Aman!

5.00This is the 2nd time I've been on a tour that Amanuel has organised and it was amazing. He customised the tour to suit my needs as a photographer and he really made it the best experience. I highly recommend him and his company for any trips throughout Ethiopia.
