Ethiopia Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“An unforgettable experience from an excellent guide”

Our six-night trip to the tribes of the Omo Valley was absolutely superb, exceeding our expectations, and we’d recommend Bereket as your guide without any hesitation. We had stressed to him our priority was not to feel that we were in any way exploiting the villagers, and he more than delivered on this. Each visit felt very balanced and authentic. Bereket stands out from other guides for a number of reasons: he speaks several of the tribal dialects and has excellent local guide contacts where these are required by the tribes. He is well-known everywhere you’ll be visiting – he was greeted with real warmth by the villagers, which is therefore extended to you. His logistics were excellent – there’s some very long days, but he built in breaks, and we always stayed in the best possible place in the area. A shout out too to Yetu his driver – very careful behind the wheel, and very friendly. All-in-all, a great tour – and Bereket can arrange translators for any language too.

Dear Fin and Clare, Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review. It was a real pleasure having you both with us on your six-night journey through the Omo Valley. I especially appreciate your trust in us to make the experience respectful, authentic, and meaningful. Your wish to visit the communities without feeling that you were exploiting the villagers was very important to me, and I’m delighted to hear that the visits felt balanced and genuine. It was a pleasure sharing the Omo Valley with you both and introducing you to the communities, cultures, and people I know so well. I’m also very happy that the local connections, cultural knowledge, logistics, and accommodations helped make your journey a memorable one. Thank you as well for your kind words about Yetu. I’ll make sure he knows how much you appreciated his careful driving and friendly company. Thank you again, Fin and Clare, for choosing me as your guide and for recommending me so warmly. It was a pleasure meeting you both, and I hope to welcome you back to Ethiopia one day. Warm regards, Bereket

“Amazing day tour! ”

Had an amazing time with Sasay! Took us to see the market in detail as well as everything else I hoped for, his English is an asset in a place with such language barrier, will definitely book him again.

Yonas was a great host, understanding what we were interested in, suggesting activities and taking good care of us. He speak excellent English, is easy to get on with and enthusiastically introduced us to local natural, culinary and cultural experiences we would otherwise have missed. He negotiated good deals for us in the craft market. He used a good quality appropriate vehicle. Nothing was too much trouble for him and everything was included within the fee. Recommended.
