Vowland is perfect
We had an amazing two day experience at Adadi Mariam, Tiya Steal and DeBre Belgios Monastery
With Vowland Ethiopia tour, led by Abraham and guided by Nebeuie. It was truly an unforgettable trip, one of the most memorable of my life. Abraham, our guide, was incredibly professional, kind and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend the Vowland Ethiopia tour!

Abraham was nice and friendly, driver very professional. About trip writen in description.
Long but Worthwhile Trip
I booked this tour through GetYourGuide, but I didn’t receive any information about the meeting time until the day before the trip when I reached out. I was told to be ready by 7:30 AM. The trip was quite long and physically demanding, as we spent about 6 hours traveling back and forth.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time at the Debre Libanos Monastery, which was a bit of a disappointment. We were able to explore the monastery briefly, pray for a couple of minutes, visit the monastery museum, and then quickly head to the Portugal Bridge.
The journey itself is lengthy, but seeing the monastery is definitely worth it. Our guide, Abraham, was incredibly helpful, friendly, and kind. When he learned that it was my friend's birthday, he went out of his way to organize a surprise for him. On the way back to Addis Ababa, we stopped at a café where a cake with two candles was waiting for us. A truly thoughtful and sweet gesture.
As for the cost and the time spent on the trip, it felt a little expensive considering the amount of time spent traveling. The long drive made up the majority of the trip. However, looking at what we saw and experienced, we were ultimately satisfied with the tour.

Young, vibrant and knowledgeable about Ethiopia
I had a lovely few days in Ethiopia with abraham! We did an Addis city tour and a trip to lebre dibanos and the blue Nile.
I learned a lot about Ethiopia, enjoyed great food, coffee and conversation with abraham during my time there!
I can definitely recommend this tour!

Professionally organized tour to South and North Ethiopia
Though in short notice, Vowland Ethiopia Tour and Travel offered me an 11-day tour for visiting South and North Ethiopia.
Abraham, very accommodating and responsive, took care of everything; accommodation (the best possible hotels and lodges at every destination, taking into account Ethiopia's touristic level), transportation (flights and 4x4 vehicle), tours with local guides; at a reasonable price. Though short in duration as a tour, Abraham managed to include everything needed so as to emerge into the culture, history, tastes and nature of Ethiopia. Hawassa, Lake Chamo, Turmi and Omo valley tribes (Karo, Dorze village, Konso village, Dasenach, Hammer with bull-jumping, Mursi) down south and Arba Minch, Gondar with its castles, lake Tana monasteries, Lalibela churches, Addis city attraction and Axum historical sites up north were included in just 11 days.
Abraham guided the Addis Ababa city tour with great joy and passion offering also a visit to a traditional restaurant for local food, music and dance experience. He even kept me company after the 11-day tour was over, in-between my flights back home, taking me to lunch (so thankful).
At each destination his choice of local guides-associates as well as his choice of professional driver was excellent. Each and every one of them, and that stands also for Abraham, are professionals, passionate with their country and profession, kind, caring, protective, willing to share knowledge and expertise, eager to offer excellent service and hospitality as well as resolve any issue that may occur.
Many thanks to all, Abinet, professional driver, who accompanied me and also served as Abraham's representative at the south part, Miju, Melesa, Charlie, Temesgen and Tilahun, local guides, and of course to Abraham, for our long talks and walks, for taking me to all kind of markets for buying local products and souvenirs, for making this trip so special and treating me like family. Hope we meet again!
If you want to emerge into Ethiopia, Vowland is the tour company that provides an amazing experience.

Amazing
We just returned from a 6-day adventure in the Omo Valley, and it was absolutely unforgettable! The tour offered a perfect mix of cultural immersion and natural beauty. Each day was filled with exciting activities, from visiting local villages to exploring stunning landscapes.
Our guide Abrham was not only friendly but also incredibly insightful about the diverse tribes we encountered. Meeting people from the Karo and Ari tribes was a highlight we learned so much about their traditions and ways of life.
Each day brought new adventures visiting vibrant markets, experiencing traditional ceremonies, and meeting the fascinating tribes like the Hamar and Mursi. The landscapes were breathtaking, from lush valleys to stunning rivers. we felt like we was stepping into a different world!
The accommodations were comfortable, and we appreciated the effort to provide authentic local meals. This trip is perfect for anyone looking to delve deep into Ethiopia’s rich cultural tapestry. We can’ recommend Vowland Ethiopia Tours.

Abraham is a thoughtful and caring tour guide.
We had a 21 day tour of both the north and south of Ethiopia with Abraham from Vowland Ethiopia. Gratefully he accompanied us on our tour which we paid extra for, but was so worth it. ☺️ He figured out our travel issues easily as they arose and was so much fun to be around for the whole trip. He was really good fun as well as excellent at helping us to see the best of Ethiopia. He arranged fantastic local guides to meet us in each location and we were always happy with the accommodation. Do please be aware that Ethiopia has lower tourist levels and therefore some hotels were not as fabulous as they would be if tourists were plentiful. Honestly to say, I have done many tours with many tour guides and Abraham was the loveliest and most genuine guide I've ever had. He was so committed to making our Ethiopia travel goals come true. He was so lovely and decent and well organised. He was very resonsive to my many questions and answered with honesty, sometimes negativily but honestly and I do appreciate that. While on the tour I very much appreciated that he would go out of his way to make our experience amazing and also to help local people where he could. His heart is large and that's plain to see. We very much preferred the north of Ethiopia but that was us with our experiences and the south is lovely too, and should not be missed. I really do recommend Abraham as a guide. I cannot wait until we can be there again and to see more of the beautiful country that has captured our hearts completely.
