The essence of Ethiopia "erved" with caring approach, support for all you need and a positve vibe :)
We (I was a member of a group of 13 ) had a magnificent Timket experience, inspiring Gondar and Bahir Dar deep dive with the must see sightseeing + out of the beaten truck visits to enjoy local gourmet, fun dancing in a bar and everything else the cities had to offer:).
For the 3 days with "Essence of Ethiopia Tours" I felt greatly treated and well supported with information, overall assistance and all this accompanied by positve vibe and personal attitude :).

Delightful experience
I recently had the pleasure of exploring Ethiopia with Essence Ethiopia Tours during my 1.5-day visit, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The driver and guide were exceptionally kind, professional, and attentive to every need, ensuring we felt completely at ease throughout the journey.
They went above and beyond to help us immerse ourselves in the beauty and culture of Ethiopia, making every moment unforgettable. Their passion for showcasing the country’s treasures was evident in every detail.
I wholeheartedly recommend Essence Ethiopia Tours to anyone looking to explore this incredible destination. I can’t wait to return and discover even more of Ethiopia’s charm and beauty!

2 Days Visiting Lalibela!
I had the pleasure of exploring Lalibela for 2 days with Essence Ethiopia Tours. Unfortunately, due to the Christmas Festivals and limited seats on the airplane, I had to extend my trip and fly out on January 8th instead. Despite the unexpected change, I had an amazing time visiting the rock-cut churches and meeting the incredibly friendly locals. Tsehaynew, our tour operator, was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout the entire experience. Can't wait to come back and explore more of this beautiful destination!

Wonderful!
I booked my trip with Essence Ethiopia Tours for the end of December 2024. Initially, I agreed to a 5-day tour of Northern Ethiopia, but after receiving an excellent offer, I decided to add a day trip to Simien Mountains and an additional 3 days to explore Danakil. Every aspect of the trip was special and well-organized! I am extremely satisfied with my experience and highly recommend Essence Ethiopia Tours.

A unique Experience of exploring Lalibela and Danakil trips!!
My friend and I traveled to Ethiopia with a focus on exploring the remarkable rock-cut churches of Lalibela and the unique landscapes of Danakil. We were fortunate to work with an experienced tour operator. Tsehaynew provided invaluable support and closely monitored every step of our journey. Our guide in Lalibela, Kalu, was exceptional—extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the churches.
We visited all the churches and even trekked to the Asheton Mary Monastery, located 10 km from town, which was an unforgettable experience. The trip to Danakil was like entering another world, filled with adventure and breathtaking scenery. The entire team was well-organized, ensuring everything went smoothly.
Overall, we had an incredible trip and can't thank the team enough. I highly recommend Essence Ethiopia Tours for anyone looking to explore this beautiful country!

A legendary travel operation!
First we booked a three-day trip to Lalibela in December 2024 with a legendary expert on the area. Additionally, we extended our adventure to explore the Danakil region, which turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Our time spent at both sites will always be cherished. Thank you, Essence Ethiopia Tours!

We wholeheartedly recommend Essence Ethiopia Tours to anyone looking to explore this beautiful area!
" We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Northern Ethiopia, thanks to our expert, Tsehaynew. Over the course of 5 unforgettable days, he led us to breathtaking sites such as Bahir dar, Gonder, Simien mountain and Lalibela and shared his extensive knowledge of the region's culture and history. Our time with him was filled with memorable experiences, and we are already planning to return. We wholeheartedly recommend Tsehaynew to anyone looking to explore this beautiful area!"
