This was a fascinating glimpse of a way of life, so different from our own. Our guide Shasha took us to a number of different villages to show the variety of tribal life. The involvement of local guides was also helpful to explain about individual customs and practises. Obviously tourists are keen to take photos and our guide was helpful in identifying the necessary payments. Aman was helpful in rearranging our itinerary, because our flight time was changed and met with us at the end to check out how we had enjoyed the trip. Overall it was a great trip and well- organised.paco60sg

This was the trip of a lifetime. Weeks later I still think about the experience daily. This is easily my favorite trip I have ever been on, and I have been on many. It was a truly authentic and beautiful trip. The tour guide and driver were endlessly accommodating, knowledgeable and wonderful company. The tribes that we visited were excited and welcoming. I look forward to my next visit to Ethiopia.panda_booob

I’ve come to Ethiopia alone. Guys, don’t be afraid to travel alone - nobody will eat you in Ethiopia 😄 The main purpose of my journey was to see African nature and the tribes of the Oma Valley. And Aman Ethiopia tours organized this perfectly! I’ve seen Ethiopian tribes, visited their huts, tried local food, and Ethiopian coffee - the most delicious in my life, by the way! Niko driver and Neway guide are THE BEST! The roads in the Oma Valley are terrible, so tourists have to be prepared 😂 But all this worth it! Guide Neway told me so many things about Ethiopia, the culture is so unusual. You know, it’s like you got into a movie: exotic landscapes, tribes (all with their own traditions), delicious bananas 😄 Of the downsides: problems with Wi-fi and hot water in some hotels. Frankly speaking, I’ve been ready for this. Plus, there were also some hotels with very beautiful rooms and mountain views 🏔 In the end, the guys gave me coffee beans. Now I am sitting at home in Belarus, drinking delicious coffee from Ethiopia and thinking about one thing: Africa is an amazing place! Must visit! I hope one day I will come back to see also the north side of Ethiopia. Aman Ethiopia tours, thank you for your service. Niko and Neway, thank you, guys!henrico60s

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!StavOrr89

We had one week at Ethiopia and we really made the most out of it. Started at Lalibela and then flying to the south , we had 9 flights in the course of 1 week! So yeah we really tried to see as much as possible. Aman was amazing and helped us adjust during the trip, when we wanted to change he was always available and gave great service. Keep in mind some of the tribes are very touristy and we didnt enjoy seeing and interacting with them. Over all I can only command this company !
