Amanuel is the best!!!
Amanuel is an incredible human being. He took me on a tour of Ethiopia’s first university and then we visited the Cathedral where Emperor Haile Selassie and his Empress were buried. He provided an amazing and detailed explanation of history. I’m definitely looking forward to having him as my tour guides again in a few months.

One of best trips in n my life
It was fantastic. We enjoyed a lot. We were 10 days on tour. It was a great experience in my life. People were very warm and nice and friendly. Our tour guide Manuel and our driver were very friendly and patient specially to our kids. I will go again definitely to the Ethiopian. It was well organized.

Great day tour
We did a day tour in Addis Ababa with Amanuel and were able to learn a lot about not only the capital, but Ethiopia as a whole, which made us wish to have more time to spend there. Great tour, great guide, definitely recommend!

Ethiopia, Cradle of Humanity, Pure Fascination
a 2020 cancelled tour of northern Ethiopia has finally been made up. The Erta Ale was the exciting start, an impressive volcano and the first night in the open air. The Assale Salt Lake, eerie, impressive, thousands of years old, again spent the night in the open air to watch the long train of salt trucks in the morning and to look reverently after the men who filled these trucks with shovels and their own power. From rock churches that were accessible via narrow mountain paths to high up in the Simien Mountains National Park, on to Lalibela. Impressive buildings, an Easter, quite different from what was previously known. Ethiopia is worth a visit, the hospitality of the people in their simple homes, the cafe, so special and invigorating, the culture with its peculiarities that prompts questions and deep understanding, just a few reasons for a reunion. And ultimately it was our guide, Amanuel, who brought us closer and closer to his country in narratives and extraordinary knowledge. We look forward to seeing you again in Addis Ababa, with Amanuel and a trip to the south of his fascinating homeland. Thank you very much Peggy and René

Unforgettable experience with a great guide! I was very lucky to take Amanuel on a trip to the breathtaking Wenchi Crater – and it was an absolute highlight of my trip to Ethiopia! The landscape around the crater is spectacular: green hills, a beautiful crater lake, hot springs and traditional villages that give a deep insight into local culture. But what really made the trip special was Amanuel himself. He is not only extremely professional and well-organized, but also incredibly warm, patient and dedicated. With his knowledge of history, nature and culture, he has enriched the tour with exciting stories and interesting details. He has always shown a fine sense of what interests us and what we feel like. I can highly recommend a tour with Amanuel – for those who not only want to see Ethiopia but really want to experience it. I would travel with him again anytime!

Civilisation, History and Nature
My travel partner and I went to Ethiopia , intended for a week, and ended up staying 3 weeks! We could've wuote easily stayef another 3 weeks. This was solely down to a chance meeting with Emamnuel , a local independent tour operator. He took us to some really amazing places in various parts of Ethiopia. We were totally overwhelmed day by day and just kept on extended our departure date because we wanted more! Well, in that year 2023 I've travelled to a total of 32 African countries, and for me, Ethiopia is no1 for eco-tourism, natural beauty, attractions, history, civilisation, culture,and more. More importantly, it was our tour guide, Emamnuel, who made it happen for us. A life-long memory.

With "Orient Ethiopia Tours" you are on the safe side!
I have been to Ethiopia's Omo Valley three times with guide Amanuel. Due to my great interest in the cultures and traditions of the ethnic peoples living there in many different ways, I was traveling with Amanuel as an individual guest. Already after our first trip I knew that I could rely on my guide blindly in any situation. With his good knowledge of German and his professional guidance and explanation of the history of the country and the idiosyncrasies of the indigenous peoples, Amanuel is the ideal companion for me. His cheerful and unproblematic handling of unforeseen situations was also confirmed to me by other travelers. In November 2024, my two-week trip to Ethiopia began with a three-day adventure in Afar, climbing the Erta Ale volcano and visiting Lake Afdera with the largest salt pans to extract the "white gold". The program also included the Afar-controlled As Ale Lake. For me, however, the greatest thing was the fascinating landscape of Dallol, the sight of which had literally beamed me into an alien atmosphere. Also during this tour Amanuel accompanied me. The remaining days we spent again in the Omo Valley with other indigenous tribes. I will entrust myself to the newly founded travel agency “ORIENT ETHIOPIA TOURS” for my planned and possibly further future trips to Ethiopia in late autumn 2025. Why do you think? Because Amanuel is the guarantor of this up-and-coming company and has my full confidence.
