one of the best tours in Ethiopia - Hats off to Amantour. Everything was perfect. Very professional staff. We stayed 4 days private in the Omo Valley. Saw everything we wanted and more. But thanks to our guide Niko, who was very knowledgeable and took us safely everywhere. We covered more than 1000 km on this trip. Thanks for everything, Amantour. See you in northern Ethiopia again. Amantour is the best. Cheers

A trusted tour operator in Ethiopia - I would like to thank Aman Tours for the excellent organization of the 5-day trip to the SNNPR. The highlights of my visit were Konso, Omorate, the Karo villages and Lake Chamo. The success of the trip would not have been possible without the help of Mr. Niko, who accompanied me throughout our trip.

A trusted travel company in Ethiopia!!! - Everything related to our experience with Aman Ethiopia Tours was fantastic. We communicate with Neway before and during the booking. When we arrived in Ethiopia, we met Fikru in Lalibela, who would be our guide in Lalibela. We saw all the fantastic churches in Lalibela. All accommodations exceeded expectations. I recommend Mr. Fikru for the trip in Lalibela and the driver of the Land Cruiser Niko in the Danakil depression. It was a beast in some dusty conditions, but it's part of the journey. Overall, it was an amazing week with a great guide in Lalibela and Tigray.

Perfect team with perfect service. - We managed our booking through this company, which was our main contact when booking and was very responsive and very easy to work with. Our driver and guide was Sis, who was exceptional and very knowledgeable about all the different species of Ethiopian destinations and places we saw. He was great at taking all our interests into account and was very good at what he does. We could see all 7 tribes on our 6-day trips! The communication was very good and we felt very comfortable and safe with him throughout our trip. In addition, all our accommodations and resorts were excellent, with excellent service and food. We highly recommend this company and Sis as your guide-driver for anyone interested in scheduling a safe trip in Ethiopia.

Wonderful 100% recommended - My friend and I had our Ethiopian organized by this tour agency from the 6th Nov till the 16th Nov: it was our first time in ethiopia and, overall, we enjoyed it, even though some aspects can be improved. The communication with the agency was really quick and efficient during the all time and our accommodations were good (budget option), except for the first one in Addis Ababa, where we spent two nights and both food and bathrooms (scarcely essential and with unstable hot water) were not the best. Our driver, Noah, was a nice guy and he used to provide adequate expatiations during the game drives Our programmed included a visit to Lake Chamo and Dorze village: they are not bad, but I think two days are too many and it's better to skip at least one of them and to 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 accepted the advice of the company, So, on balance the lodge in Arba Minch was nice and the arrangement was super. Anyway, apart from the previous points, we had a good time.

Wonderful Guide - The company was very helpful in putting together a tour for us. When our flight got delayed 3 days they worked very hard trying to rebook everything and make sure we got the best options available. Unfortunately we missed out on a few of the awesome hotels, but that was not their fault at all. They did respond and try to make our trip as smooth as possible at all times. We loved all of our tours. We didn't enjoy the two lakes in south Ethiopia we went to as much, and would have skipped them altogether and spent more time on the trips, but Ziway lake stops were more strategic. Next time I come, I will choose to go to less places and spend more time in each place, for sure.

Once in a Lifetime Experience - Aman tours was professional, organized, efficient and very responsive/helpful with pretrip planning and booking. Everyone we worked with including day guides and especially our overall guide/driver Sisay were wonderful! We did the OMO Valley 6 day trip. What an amazing experience! And a 2 day trip to Lalibela. Definitely recommend touring Ethiopia and going with Aman Tours.

Ethiopia at the glance - We just got back from the 6 Days Omo Valley Tour and it was an incredible adventure! Dagi, our guide, was a true professional, making our trip not only interesting but also very exciting. Every day was filled with amazing discoveries - from the picturesque views of Ethiopia from Mount Entoto to visiting unique villages and getting to know the culture of different people. We saw everything from ancient historical sites like Tiya to the colors and atmosphere of the vibrant markets and villages where the Hamer and other tribes live. A boat trip on Lake Chamo was especially memorable, where we met crocodiles and different birds! The feeling of immersion in the culture and life of the locals was simply breathtaking. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the real Ethiopia and enjoy its unique heritage. Many thanks to Dagi for the amazing organization!

A great value of Money!! - We had an amazing time with Aman teams in 7 days omo tribes. Debe our guide was incredible, so friendly and brilliant at finding animals and birds. He was very knowledgable about what we saw as well. The company was great from the start, easy to communicate and brilliant value for money. The whole stays worked seamlessly and the accommodation they chose was comfortable with great food. The Jeep was comfortable and there was water provided. We highly recommended.
