Amazing travels thanks to Aman Ethiopia Tours 🙏🏼 - Fantastic journey organised by Aman Ethiopia Tours. Joseph was our guide, he speaks perfect English and was super knowledgeable about everything. He works incredibly hard making sure that the needs of all of his guests are met. Whilst we were travelling the office kept an eye on the situation regarding any conflicts in the north and our guide was notified when any roads were closed. We were definitely in safe hands. I recommend you change your money with the guides as Amanuel offers very good rates and the ATM machines aren’t that reliable, bring cash it helps everyone. I absolutely loved my time in Ethiopia and hope to return soon.

Amazing places and well organised trip - Very well organised, knowlegeable english speaking guides, a plus also for Ethiopian airlines for internal flights. All the places visited were amazing and safe. A special plus to the care and punctuality of the organiser. Lucky to see a bull jumping ceremony in Omo Valley 🤓 Also the Sunday mass in Lalibela was a great experience.

Fantastic experience! - Ethiopia was the best holiday trip of our lives, and the team of Aman Ethiopian Tours is in great part responsible for this. We went to Lalibela, Danakil and Omo Valley, and in each place we had excellent guides that made us feel comfortable and familiar. I must mention Fikru in Lalibela, Mohammed in Danakil, Yihun in Omo Valley and Joseph in Addis Ababa. And of course, we send special thanks to our fantastic drivers Yallo and Neway, for making our journey safe and fun. Most hotels we stayed were very nice, as well as the places we stopped to eat, and we could taste a lot of local food and the delicious Ethiopian coffee. We have travelled to many countries, and Ethiopia was really challenging. So, if you wish to know this amazing country and its great history, nature and people, don’t hesitate to call Aman! Ethiopia and the Aman team will be forever in our hearts! Cheers from Julian and Andrea from Brasil!

would highly recommend this company should you need assistance in planning your trip! - My spouse and I went on our first international trip together to Ethiopia and it has won our hearts. We visited omo valley tribes & Dankil from 22 Jan 2024 to 29 Decemebr 2024. We had a lot on our itinerary that we wanted to experience in a week, so I figured to seek a professional. Neway & Amanuel from the office pf Aman tours was our travel advisor and both was beyond fabulous! Both was so attentive to our itinerary and always had our best interest in mind. From accommodation and tour bookings to self drive vehicle arrangements and shuttle services, Thanks to Aman tours, our trip was an effortless success. I would highly recommend this company should you need assistance in planning your trip!

We cannot say enough good things about Aman Ethiopia Tours! - My wife and I had our holidays planned by AMAN and we had such a great time! Aman was our main travel expert and we also worked with Neway, They both were amazing! Super clear communication, great recommendations and just really clear logistics as we were planning.What we really appreciated was how good their operations were making sure we had a clear sense of itinerary, pick ups / drop-offs were seamless. And the trip itself! We saw the main highlights of Ethiopia, stayed in great accommodations and just had a lot of fun adventures. We did 15 days in Ethiopia and all of it was incredible! We did with fly & driving and we think it was worth it. Obviously it’s a bit more expensive but we got great views and also saved a lot of time which given our relatively short timeframe. The company Aman contracted for us Absolutely a five star experience with this great company!

We did a 21 Ethiopian combination tours with Aman EthiopiaTours. - They are the most professional and faithful travel service I have come across in Africa. The trip was well organised. They were great at emailing before the trip, helping us tweak the itinerary to suit our needs. They provide details trip information and also give you a fantastic guide package when we picked up out 4x4 ToyotaLandcruiser. The vehicle was superb, and all the camping equipment in Danakil was good. There were also some general tips and advice on driving on the roads in North Ethiopia, I can not recommend them enough. The best company I have every used in Africa.

Absolutely recommend Aman Ethiopia Tours for a safe trip in Ethiopia - We booked 15 days trip to Danakil Depreshion, Harar,Lalibela with Bale Mountains and the service from Aman team were all excellent. From start to finish, we felt well looked after by Barich, Yihun and the team at pick-up/drop-off. We're planning another visit to this amazing country and would look no further than Explore. **

29 days ultimate Ethiopia tour - From 5 october to 2 november 2023 me and my wife did the 29 days ultimate Ethiopia tour of Aman Ethiopia Tour & Travel that covered almost all Ethiopia has to give to tourists and visitors and it was an excelent experience. We think that Aman Ethiopia Tour & Travel is a professional, competent and reliable tour operator that covers the majority of Ethiopia territory. To the Danakil depression and Ertale vulcano, Harar, Bale Mountains, the Rift and Omo valleys and the south we travelled in one of the Aman Ethiopia Tour 4x4 Toyota vehicles that was in good conditions and had no problens. During that time we had the company of the guide Yihun and the excelent driver Neway that are very friendly, nice, well humorated and were always available for what we could need, tried always to protect us and make us feel confortable and, must of all, the sensation of beeing in family. All the local guides that Aman Ethiopia Tour & Travel contracted in the several local visits were, in generaly, good. From them we must refer Mr. Fikru Wodegiorgis that received us in our 3 days at Lalibela, a man with superior instruction and with a very good knowledge of Christian Ethiopian art and culture and Mr. Kibrom that received us in our 3 days in Tigray. In Lalibela we stayed at the very nice Maribella Hotel, a beautiful modern building whith gardens upon a cliff. The view of the rooms balconies are amazing. Ethiopia is a very beautifull country with an amazing geografy, culturaly rich, very interesting to visit and with a nice and sympatic people. The country is poor but infrastructures like roads are improving. In spite of having local conflicts we never felt unsafe and we never whatched strange or anormal situations. We only regret that, almost everywhere in Ethiopia we were the only tourists and that the tourist industry seams to go down whith economic and social consequences to all those who depend from it. We also regret that, because of security reasons we didn't traveled to the north by road and we had to travel to Tigray and Lalibela by plane and that we didn't visited Tana Lake, Gondar and the Simien Mountains. Instead of the quite negative information in the western foreign offices travel advices, we recognize that Aman Ethiopia and we supose other Ethiopian tour operators have contacts and actualized information in all the country and that all of them are prepared to give a safe and smooth service to their costumers even if the acess to some places may be suddently and temporarily closed. From the places we visited, the north with it's christian art and culture and old and rich churches and monasteries was the must interesting and we enjoyed, over all, the experience of climbing to the rock church of Abuna Yemata in Geralta (Tigray). We were also quite impressed with the axum obeliscs and ruins. We enjoyed the visit to the Danakil depression with its colourfull "sulfataras" and salt lakes and pans, and to the Ertale crater that, at the moment, was not in fire. Harar is a different quite islamic city and we got more impressed in feeding black Kites in the central market square of the city that with the hiena man. We really enjoyed the two days we stayed at the Awash Doho Lodge, with it's african nice huts upon a lake in the midle of the savanna, with it's termal warm water pools and very nice staff and resident monkeys. In the south we enjoyed, particulary, the lake and the fish market at Hawassa, the Lake Chamo at Arba Minch and the visits to the Dorze, Hamer and Konso peoples. We enjoyed also, very much, the visit to the Wonchi Crater Lake near Ambo, 155 km's west of Addis Ababa, a wonderfull place recently prepared to receive tourists. Ethiopia really needs to be discovered and enjoyed and it's nice people need the economical help that tourists may bring them. I believe that everybody may come to Ethiopia and have a nice stay, specialy with a reliable tour operator. Ethiopia didn't seamed a destination for independent tourists. If somebody may want to have direct information of our ethiopian experiece may write me to [email protected] Rui Victorino QueirĂłs, Portugal

Come to Cuba - I was in Cuba for the 6th time in my life. Wonderful people, beautiful weather and beautiful cities and beaches. Unfortunately, since Corona, fewer and fewer tourists are coming to this beautiful island, while the population is dependent on tourism. I usually go to a Casa Particular of what have now become my friends. Not expensive ! They help me with questions. Many beautiful old buildings in La Habana are now being renovated by the international community. Such as at the Bacardi building and around the Plaza Vieja. Hotels are also accessible to the internet and helpful with booking trips around the island.
