A perfectly organized trip! Everything was tailored to our specific needs, and we felt well taken ca
We’ve just returned from a four-week trip to Ethiopia and are absolutely amazed! We spent the first two weeks in the north, immersing ourselves in the fascinating history of the ancient kingdoms, followed by nearly two weeks in the south visiting various tribes.
The trip was perfectly organized and tailored exactly to our wishes — from the selection of sights to the accommodations. It was especially great that the same guide accompanied us the entire time. We were able to work together really well, and his knowledge of history and nature was extremely impressive. All in all, a fantastic trip — thanks for the great organization!

Discover the marvels of Ethiopia with a great team
Our trip was amazing. We spent 2 weeks travelling and exploring new places from the North to the South of Ethiopia. Our guides, Mareg (for Addis Abeba) and Abebaw were fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable and at all times committed to making this a wonderful experience. Mareg took us on a fascinating one day tour of Addis which included the Shola market and the spiritual sanctuary on the Entoto Mountains, a marvelous spot of peace and prayer away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.
Our guide Abebaw Tilahun was an amazing one: mediator, interpreter, friend. He was always helpful and introduced us to some great culinary traditions of Ethiopia as well as to the important stories and legends surrounding Lalibela, the role of the Christianity and the beautiful wildlife (marabou storks, hippos, crocodiles, flamingoes, egrets, ostrichs, fish eagles, gelada monkeys, Colombo monkeys, and many more). The accommodation we had was generally good or very good, in some cases quite charming! The information provided by guides and operators were always complete and helpful. Last but not least: our drivers too were great: Atakilt was crucial to make it in time to Bole airport and navigating the busy streets of Addis, Abreraw drove us safely in Bahir Dar and the North, in Lalibela we had the friendly Derebe and for the South the amazing Bekele. I highly recommend Simien Eco Tours to anyone who wants to discover such a great and beautiful country. They have the expertise and great people to make this a truly memorable experience.

Perfect Agency for Ethiopia
There were five of us travelling with Simien Eco Tours trip for a week in northern Ethiopia. Semera, Erta Ale, Danakil Depression, Dallol, Mekele and finally Lalibela. We felt well looked after the whole time and never felt unsafe for a second. In my opinion, Simien Eco Tours is the perfect agency for trips to Ethiopia.

Everything was organized to our satisfaction.
We went on a short trip to the Simien Mountains near Gondar. Everything was excellently organized – the pickups were always on time, and our guide, Abebaw Tilahun, provided us with a lot of interesting background information about the country and its people. Our driver also got us safely through the sometimes impassable terrain despite the heavy rains. Overall, a thoroughly successful tour that we can highly recommend!

Very well organized tour !
Best way of visiting Ethiopia is a Tour organized by Simien Eco Tours. Our guide, David, spoke good French and was able to give us all explanations of the places we’ve been visiting.

Meeting communities in harmony with nature.
I went on a 4 day trip with SimienEcoTours to the Guge Mountain near to Arba Minch.
It was such a unique experience. Meeting communities on the way to the top, eating and participating in daily lifestyle and routines, crossing agricultural land in perfect harmony with nature and being accompanied by kind, knowledgeable, sensitive, amazing guides. It was a one-kind experience. My heartfelt thanks !! I will carry the memories fondly with me.
