A well organised in-bound tour to beautiful Ethiopia
We have recently returned from a 22-day trip through Ethiopia (October 2023) that we booked through Senait Ethiopia Tours and must give a huge shout out to the team at Senait.
Firstly, and importantly, we doubt that you will find a more honest tour operator than the owner of Senait, Taddese Atlaw. We initially booked our tour in 2019, pre-Covid. A deposit was paid and then of course, out travel plans were disrupted for a few years. Taddese honoured our deposit for a trip we finally managed to take four years later. That is customer service!
The team Senait used are all to be commended. Every one of them gave generously of their local knowledge, opinions and guidance and happily answered the many, many questions we threw at them. The tour was extremely well organised and all vehicles and accommodation were of a high calibre. A couple of guides/drivers need particular mention. Mr. Meseret (Messi) (Barhi Dar-Gondor-Simian Mountains- Lalibela) whom we used for the first 10 days is our brother. A careful driver, a thoughtful and reflective person, and a lover of good music. Mr. Leul was our guide in Lalibela, and organised the cooking experience for us. Mr. Yacob Kedir both met us from the airport and delivered us back after a wonderful tour of the Rift and Omo Valleys.
The tour itinerary was well thought out. We hit almost all the highlights including hanging with the Gelada (grass eating monkeys) in the Simian Mountains, the famous hewn rock churches of Lalibela, overnighting under the stars in the spectacular Danakil Depression, and engaging with some of the highly varied tribespeople of the Omo Valley.
The cuisine of Ethiopia is very good, and we enjoyed learning how to cook traditional food in a local family’s back garden. We will definitely be trying this at home!
Security questions still hang over this beautiful country, but they are not as bad as western travellers are often led to believe by their Governmental agencies. Senait were always on top of any security concerns, and organised our trip to fly-over any state borders to avoid any potential conflict. They monitored our activities daily and forewarned us when there would likely be no internet. We didn’t get to Tigray, Somali or the Western States as Senait deemed them too uncertain from a security POV. That gives us an excuse for revisiting at some time in the future!
This was a well organised and fascinating tour. We experienced the culture, nature, cuisine, and various religions of the region. We have absolutely no hesitation recommending Senait Ethiopian Tours to our fellow travellers.

Excellent service
We have been using Senait Ethiopia for our annual grade 8 school trip to Northern Ethiopia for the last seven years and their service and large group tour organizing capability is excellent. All these years we have not had a single problem. Despite the large number of students going everything was organized superbly at all destinations. Choice of tour sites and organized activities were always appropriate to the group and prepared professionally.
