wonderful Trip to Ethiopia!
My wife and I booked a 10 day tour to the coffee region of Ethiopia through this agency and were very satisfied. Our expectations were completely met and we can recommend this agency 100%! We will be back!

The adventure tour to Ethiopia's highest mountains ranks among the best experiences we ever had.
We have traveled a lifetime through all continents and most geographic areas of the globe as individual travelers and adventurers. I'd like to say that this adventure tour was one of the best we ever had. Communications ahead of departure and services during the trek and transfers were optimal and came up to our expectations. Agency, guide and staff were terrific and very flexible to comply with our wishes. We want to come back and recommend SimienEcoTours to those who love mountaineering and want to explore culture and peoples of Ethiopia!

The professional service provided before, during and after was perfect!
My wife and I had a fantastic week in Ethiopia in 2022. Thanks to Siemen EcoTours for providing us a fantastic experience in this . We crossed a bit of the country with a great driver and guides in Lalibella (including 11 churches and experiencing a Sunday mass), Yemrehanna Kristos, Awra Amba community, Bahir Dar, Blue Nile Falls, Lake Tana, Gondar and Siemens Mountains National Park. We discovered a lot about the history, the reality of Ethiopia - country that was never colonized – and it’s heritage to the world (coffee, Rastafari, own religion … ), delicious food and friendly people !

Discovering Ethiopia as country of origin
My adoptive son (17) and I visited Ethiopia, his birthplace, in October 2022. We didn’t want to be part of a group-tour to get in touch with Ethiopia, the aim was more being on our own – only with guide and driver. Although SimienEcoTours do offer group-tours, the people at SET comprehend our special father-son-situation and therefore expectations for this trip and they offered us a perfect all-inclusive program for a reasonable price. The schedule Addis – Flight to Bahir Dar – Gondar – excursion to Simien Mountains N.P. – Gondar – Lalibela – Flight to Addis was absolutely adequate for a first visit and worked out fine. (Due to the situation in Tigray at that time, Axum wasn’t part of the program.) Judging by the plenty of our impressions of landscape, wildlife and encountering people in Ethiopia we both were totally happy with the program as well with the organization and performance by the SET-staff: Good choice and quality of hotels/lodges, good suggestion of restaurants and lunch-spots. Also to be mentioned: the wide knowledge of our tour-guide about the country and its people and culture. The jeep-ride (Toyota) was comfortable and always safe.

Amazingly thought-through & well organized program that allows to focus on exploring the country.
My positive experience started with proper assistance in planning. I communicated my expectations and SimienEco came back to me with options and suggestions prior to my trip. Once the travel started, I have to say that both the program as well as the different guides were great. As requested, the tour offered a good balance of outdoor activities (like trekking) and cultural program. The guides were all locals and very knowledgeable about the regions/places I travelled to. In the beginning, I was a little surprised that I don't "keep" the same guide/driver for the entire trip (which might be an option if you ask for it), but this also turned out to be very beneficial, since a) you have real locals as guides that - most of the time - were even born and raised in the region - and b) I met more locals that I would have met otherwise, which gives much more insight into the country.
