Northern Ethiopia
The northern Ethiopia is also Known as the Historical Circuit, there are over two millennia’s worth of ancient treasures scattered about, from giant obelisks and hidden tombs at Aksum to a collection of castles in and around Gonder, to unique churches in Lalibela, Tigray, Lake Tana and many other places. Not to be outdone by human mastery, Mother Nature really let her creative juices flow here. The Danakil Depression, an esteemed destination among adventure travellers, features a permanent lava lake and a bright-yellow sulphuric plain, while the Simien Mountains wrinkle the land with canyons and peaks with a beauty you’ll struggle to find anywhere else in Africa.

Wonderful blend of culture and sightseeing
Aman Ethiopia Tour weere wonderful to deal with. I had a set idea as to what I wanted to do. Given that there is some political unrest plans had to change at short notice and I must credit Aman Ethiopia for being safety focused and excellent at problem solving. We had four sets of drivers and guides. Solomon and Zola took us through the Afar region and they were energetic and great company. Around Addis Ababa Dagi, Niko and Abdi were knowledgeable and personable. In the Gondar region Thomas and Adamu were experts gave wonderful insight into the history. Finally Fikru and Orion were a wonderful combo in the Lalebela region. The local an expert knowledge provided by the guides was truly remarkable and really enhanced our experience in Ethiopia. We would 100% recommend we would look forward to doing more of this beautiful country.

Unforgettable Ethiopian adventures: an inspiring journey through the South, Danakil Lowlands and Awash
I recently travelled to Ethiopia with Aman Ethiopia Tours & Travel and it was a truly amazing experience that I will never forget.
We visited the Southern Region, the Danakil Lowlands, and Awash. Each place has a very different charm, which was very impressive. In the South, we were exposed to rich culture and traditions, and in the Danakil Lowlands, we experienced spectacular and colorful landscapes that made us feel as if we were on another planet. In Awash, we saw beautiful nature and wildlife.
Our guide, Yihun, was truly amazing and knowledgeable and always put our safety and comfort first. They explained history, culture and nature in a way that was easy to understand and very special.
My trip in February was a great answer. The weather was very good, especially for visiting the lowlands and south of Danakil, and I was able to enjoy sightseeing comfortably.
I would like to thank Aman Ethiopian Tours and the team from the bottom of my heart. Ethiopia is a really recommended country. We would like to encourage many people to visit.
Operator response

Thank you as well for your kind words about Yihun. He is a dedicated and knowledgeable guide, and we are proud that he helped make your trip safe, comfortable, and meaningful.
February is indeed a great time to visit, especially for the Danakil Depression and the southern regions, so we’re glad the timing worked perfectly for you.
On behalf of everyone at Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel, thank you for choosing us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Ethiopia again in the future.

Adventurous safe experience!
Amman is a young reliable professional who has made our journey unique! He has prepared, for my family and I, a 10 days tour to visit Bahir Dar, Lalibela, Addis Abeba and the Omo valley. In each place, we were provided with both a local guide and driver. This made our schedule very flexible and tailored to our needs. Moreover, Amman has always promptly responded, while monitoring to ensure that each step of the schedule proceeded well.
I recommend Amman for a safe yet authentic experience of Ethiopia!

Excellent tour
Aman runs a very well organized company. Everyone we worked with was always perfectly on time and very professional. He was very flexible and accommodating too!
On our tour we visited the historic northern cities Axum, Lalibela, and gondar by plane. In every city a local guide met us and showed us the city. It was nice to have a local guide and the cheapness of not paying for an Addis guide, but there was some feeling of disjointed-ness switching guides everyday. Nonetheless, Aman orchestrated it perfectly and there was never a detail unattended.
In the omo valley we had a driver and guide who work for Aman for 5 days. We really enjoyed our driver and guide, they were truly excellent. They showed us many local experiences, like a coffee shop in the guides home town. They were super friendly and attentive and we loved our time in the omo valley. :)

Amazing Trip!
We booked our vacation in Ethiopia with Aman Tours and had a great visit. Aman was very flexible in setting all our arrangements and making many last minute changes to our itinerary. He booked all our local flights, managed all our local guides and put together a trip that included all the most desirable sights in Ethiopia! The price was lower than comprable trips from other providers, especially for a private group of just 2 people.
We were so impressed with the trip and would definitely recommend Aman's company to anyone thinking about visiting Ethiopia.
