Excellent services by Drivers & Guides
Prompt replies to any request before & during the trip. Excellent services by the Local Guides & Drivers.
Senait Ethiopia Tours are professional, friendly, and designed a wonderful tour for our group.
We traveled with a group of 29 Grade 8 students to Bahir Dar and Gondar. Senait Ethiopia Tours handled the complexities and energy of our group so well. They were patient, flexible, and really helpful. Our tour guides had great energy and personalities and were very knowledgable. I would travel with them again, no question! They made every aspect of our trip smooth, from food to transportation. We felt very safe and cared for!

Beautiful, informative, well-planned tour. Thank you, Senait!
Our tour guides taught us so much about the history of northern Ethiopia. They were personal, professional, knowledgeable, and fun.

Senait Ethiopia Tour be a friend who will make everything in Ethiopia easy and impressive.
My friend and I had the chance to go on a safari in Ethiopia for the first time in 2018.
At that time I was worried because this is the first time for me to traveling in the territory of the African continent.
But that worry was gone when our friend who had been in Ethiopia recommended Senait Ethiopia Tours to us.
They organized the exellent trip during the 20 days we were there.
And when the trip finished, we concluded that this trip is the best trip of us ever.
Flawless Experience!
My partner and I had a terrific time with Senait Tours. I can not say enough wonderful things about our experience: not only is the company incredibly organized, communicative and professional, the individuals behind the company, including Taddese, Mr. Nagesh, and Tikikil are genuinely great human beings who make you feel like family and who - beyond the professional relationship - care about you having the best memories and seeing the best that Ethiopia has to offer. Taddese is well-connected with the Ministry of Tourism, which solidifies my trust in the company as a reputable one as a cultural ambassador. From Lalibela (a personal favorite) to Hawassa, Bahadir, Addis Ababa and beyond, our meals, accommodation, and transport were planned seamlessly. Our trip was postponed because of COVID by one year, but Taddese stayed in touch and was unwaveringly flexible as we adjusted dates, itineraries, and COVID requirements. They even added a PCR test gratuitously to make our trip smoother and organized the scheduling/pickup of the test and results on time. The local guides that were hired were true experts and were keen to answer any and all of our questions. Above all, like the leadership team, we felt that they not only cared about their “job” but about our happiness and enjoyment, which is what made this one of the greatest trips of my life!!! Highly highly recommended for all travel in Ethiopia.

Best ethiopian experience with Senait Tours
We had two wonderful and interesting weeks in Ethiopia. From the beginning of our contact I had a good feeling. Even it was a late for booking we have got all the bookings desired. The staff was always very polite and was taking care of all wishes or problems. In the background it was the owner of the company and some other helpful people. The most important person on such a round trip is your driver guide. We can not imagine a better one as Yacob who was driving carefully, organizing everything in an absolutely perfect way and first of all he is a wonderful person! He explained us a lot about Ethiopia, the people, the religion and life in his beautiful country. Beside him we had at all places very good and informed local guides, especially in Lalibela, one of the highlights in Ethiopia. We really recommend Senait Ethiopia Tours for planning and organizing your trip to Ethiopia!

Ethiopia with SENAIT - Wonderful Trip
We were in Ethiopia in January 2020, for 20 days, on a trip organized by SENAIT ETHOPIA TOURS. Since the first contact, we verified the high degree of professionalism of the Company, Mr Taddese and Mr Tikikil, who were always very requested and quick in their responses, left us very calm and confident about the success of the trip. The trip was really wonderful, be it for the greatness of the country, for its ancient history, its archaeological monuments, its always polite and smiling people, as well as for the mastery of the guides (in Spanish) indicated to accompany us: Mr. Mathi and Mr Teje, the which were extremely skilled in the history of the country, took us to an immersion in customs and daily life Ethiope, besides, of course, always being in a good mood and taking care of our security, food and hotel stays, the trip would not be the even without them, thank you very much. The cars that were allocated were always very clean and with great air conditioning, as well as the drivers who were always polite and careful with our family. Finally, I would like to thank Mr Taddese and Mr Tikikil for the dinner and memories of the last night, for the affection and care with which he surrounded my family, and with the certainty that we will return to Ethiopia to meet Harar, always using the services of SENAIT. Thank you!

Best way to travel at Ethiopia
We found Senait Ethiopia Tours through search on Internet and the recommendations of some friends who travelled there in 2014. We had travelled in many places around the world but for Ethiopia (and I assume more East African countries) you can't just rent a car and make your way. Senait gave us the best price and most important the best experience. Our driver Bekele made all our trip safe, replying all of our questions and always keeping an eye on us. The places we stayed were really nice (some more luxury, other closer to the nature) and even though we travelled a lot, we have the experience.
5* for all the team, as we urgently needed to find a place for some stomach issues we had, then again Bekele was there to drive us everywhere with a patience and a smile. I would suggest them for sure and I wish to travel and learn more about this beautiful country.

Senait, during the trip planning and the actual trip were responsive, efficient, and informative
Senait Ethiopia Tours exceeded my hopes for this short trip (January 12-18, 2020). We were 2 women travellers and were very happy with all the arrangements, hotels, drivers and guides. In particular, in Addis Ababa, Mr Tikikil Tadesse was excellent - he was on time, good English. We needed to change my daughter's flight to Bahir Dar for a late afternoon flight versus an early morning flight. No problem. However, as a result Ethiopian Airlines cancelled the remaining flights. Mr Tadesse and Mr Mas Zeleke were able to reinstate our remaining flights and thus we proceeded without any issues. In Addis, Walid was very happy to modify our plan - so had a lovely time at the new Unity Park which is going to be beautiful when completed. Some of the history displays glossed over the difficult history during the second half of the 20th century and a more reflective commentary would have been better.
In Bahir Dar, Mr Mas Zeleke was an excellent guide. He took us to the waterfalls of the Blue Nile - the 40 minute walk to the falls was great but the falls were underwhelming as most of the water has been diverted for hydro power. Maybe in the wet season would be more spectacular. He also arranged a boat ride on Lake Tana to see one of the island monasteries. On the return, saw some hippos enjoying the water.
In Gonder, Mr Sami was a fun guide. He gave us enough history of the Fasildas Palace and Baths to put into context. Then he was such fun with suggesting good photo compositions and even gave us a dance lesson with the moving shoulders! Great rhythm on his part and less so on ours!!
In Lalibela, Mr Leul was excellent. He arranged our time to allow us to view the churches in the morning, early and late afternoons. At the last moment, we opted against a walk/mule ride to Hudad and instead, Mr Leul arranged a visit to St Neakutoleab Monastery where the resident priest showed us his vestments and a 500 year old bible. It was beautiful and a pleasant alternative.
I would definitely use Senait again because of the wonderful guides and drivers, their flexibility and genuine interest to ensure we had a great time in their country.
