Safari and relax - Get ready to enjoy from the beginning!! Joshep and the driver arrived on time, they both made an effort to make themselves understood since we do not speak English. They always consulted us about what we wanted to do to optimize our time!! The fabulous Awash Park, the landscape, the waterfalls, the crocodiles, the monkeys, wild boars and the diverse amount of birds, all excellent.- Apart from the experience at Doho Lodge, a paradise in Ethiopia, the hot springs and the sunset were great, the view was priceless, the dinner was fabulous, we were able to rest and replenish energy to return bye bye Abebba at the stipulated time.-

Reliable Tour Operators In Ethiopia ❤️ - Lovely 2 days Awash tours with perfect help with the booking, before arrival and perfect help from our Guide. We visited Awash national park with its wonderful bird life .Some hours in the car but it was a lovely scenes with a lot of beautiful animals and lovely surroundings. Perfect help from the office of Aman before arrival with helpful information regarding Ethiopian Visa, what to bring and how to act in Ethiopia. Also great help to change the accommodation in Addis Ababa so we could have the hotels we wanted. Picked up at the airport in Bole and after that we were taken care of in a perfect way until the end of our tours.

Beautiful experience. Thumbs up! - Yesterday we (a group of 4 friends) made a one-day-trip from Addis Ababa to Awash National Park & Hot Springs. Our guide was Joseph and Nico was the driver. We were collected from the lobby of our hotel early morning and brought back around 19:30 in the evening. Breakfast, lunch and water were included. The trip was excellent! We had a lot of fun, the atmosphere was very friendly. Both gentlemen - Joseph and Nico - are high level professionals. On this trip we learned so much about Ethiopia's history and nature, have seen beautiful animals, birds and plants, enjoyed amazing views. Hot Springs is also a stunning experience. I am very much satisfied with the trip itself as well as with the professionalism and attitude of our guide / driver. So, I can only recommend to book such a trip with these gentlemen.

Unforgettable stay - My friend and I had a wonderful time during our 2 night stay in Awash and the pick up from a airport was on time . The lodge in Doho was stunning and meals were as described in our itinerary. Our tour guide ensured we saw some animals and we were lucky to see some crocodile and our guide was available for any questions. G

Kind and professional - Josephs (a guide) and Nico (a driver) were really kind and professional. I always felt at ease to be guided by them. If you have only 2 or 3 days in Ethiopia and like to fully enjoy the beautiful nature of this country, I should recommend this tour.

Solo Weekend Trip - I booked this tour with Aman Ethiopia after I came back from their five day northern Ethiopia Tour. This trip was as described on TripAdvisor and met my expectation just like the northern circuit tour did. Both guides were young, well-informed, professional and energetic. They always put my comfort first, and offered help when needed. I enjoyed the game drive and hot springs, and also appreciated the chance of chatting with the guides about their personal lives. This took the experience to the next level, understanding the country, the people, the rich culture, their hopes and concerns.
