Well organised tour operator
I did the Dankali depression tour, which was well organised from pick up to drop off at the airport. This is a unique tour and well worth the price tag, as it includes domestic flights and over 500km of driving. You can communicate with Vowland via WhatsApp. I got a quick response. You can also pay for the tour when you arrive in Addis, which will give you more comfort.
The driver allocated to our tour was great, no speeding and took care whilst driving off-road, as roads are non-existent and you may not see another car for hours.

Young, vibrant and knowledgeable about Ethiopia
I had a lovely few days in Ethiopia with abraham! We did an Addis city tour and a trip to lebre dibanos and the blue Nile.
I learned a lot about Ethiopia, enjoyed great food, coffee and conversation with abraham during my time there!
I can definitely recommend this tour!

Professionally organized tour to South and North Ethiopia
Though in short notice, Vowland Ethiopia Tour and Travel offered me an 11-day tour for visiting South and North Ethiopia.
Abraham, very accommodating and responsive, took care of everything; accommodation (the best possible hotels and lodges at every destination, taking into account Ethiopia's touristic level), transportation (flights and 4x4 vehicle), tours with local guides; at a reasonable price. Though short in duration as a tour, Abraham managed to include everything needed so as to emerge into the culture, history, tastes and nature of Ethiopia. Hawassa, Lake Chamo, Turmi and Omo valley tribes (Karo, Dorze village, Konso village, Dasenach, Hammer with bull-jumping, Mursi) down south and Arba Minch, Gondar with its castles, lake Tana monasteries, Lalibela churches, Addis city attraction and Axum historical sites up north were included in just 11 days.
Abraham guided the Addis Ababa city tour with great joy and passion offering also a visit to a traditional restaurant for local food, music and dance experience. He even kept me company after the 11-day tour was over, in-between my flights back home, taking me to lunch (so thankful).
At each destination his choice of local guides-associates as well as his choice of professional driver was excellent. Each and every one of them, and that stands also for Abraham, are professionals, passionate with their country and profession, kind, caring, protective, willing to share knowledge and expertise, eager to offer excellent service and hospitality as well as resolve any issue that may occur.
Many thanks to all, Abinet, professional driver, who accompanied me and also served as Abraham's representative at the south part, Miju, Melesa, Charlie, Temesgen and Tilahun, local guides, and of course to Abraham, for our long talks and walks, for taking me to all kind of markets for buying local products and souvenirs, for making this trip so special and treating me like family. Hope we meet again!
If you want to emerge into Ethiopia, Vowland is the tour company that provides an amazing experience.

Amazing
We just returned from a 6-day adventure in the Omo Valley, and it was absolutely unforgettable! The tour offered a perfect mix of cultural immersion and natural beauty. Each day was filled with exciting activities, from visiting local villages to exploring stunning landscapes.
Our guide Abrham was not only friendly but also incredibly insightful about the diverse tribes we encountered. Meeting people from the Karo and Ari tribes was a highlight we learned so much about their traditions and ways of life.
Each day brought new adventures visiting vibrant markets, experiencing traditional ceremonies, and meeting the fascinating tribes like the Hamar and Mursi. The landscapes were breathtaking, from lush valleys to stunning rivers. we felt like we was stepping into a different world!
The accommodations were comfortable, and we appreciated the effort to provide authentic local meals. This trip is perfect for anyone looking to delve deep into Ethiopia’s rich cultural tapestry. We can’ recommend Vowland Ethiopia Tours.

Abraham is a thoughtful and caring tour guide.
We had a 21 day tour of both the north and south of Ethiopia with Abraham from Vowland Ethiopia. Gratefully he accompanied us on our tour which we paid extra for, but was so worth it. ☺️ He figured out our travel issues easily as they arose and was so much fun to be around for the whole trip. He was really good fun as well as excellent at helping us to see the best of Ethiopia. He arranged fantastic local guides to meet us in each location and we were always happy with the accommodation. Do please be aware that Ethiopia has lower tourist levels and therefore some hotels were not as fabulous as they would be if tourists were plentiful. Honestly to say, I have done many tours with many tour guides and Abraham was the loveliest and most genuine guide I've ever had. He was so committed to making our Ethiopia travel goals come true. He was so lovely and decent and well organised. He was very resonsive to my many questions and answered with honesty, sometimes negativily but honestly and I do appreciate that. While on the tour I very much appreciated that he would go out of his way to make our experience amazing and also to help local people where he could. His heart is large and that's plain to see. We very much preferred the north of Ethiopia but that was us with our experiences and the south is lovely too, and should not be missed. I really do recommend Abraham as a guide. I cannot wait until we can be there again and to see more of the beautiful country that has captured our hearts completely.

The best agency you can find
I decided to organize my travel with this agency from the first email, every message was clear and swift, the attention to satisfy every single request to adapt the itinerary on my personal choices and willing was really appreciate. Abraham is a young and talented travel agent, he was always ready to answer my question and to adjust the trip even when I decided to change program during the travel. Compared to other agencies I can say its prices are way more honest, and there is really nothing I can complain about, I left this country really happy to have choosen Vowland as my agency amd I truly reccomand it to any real traveler.

Overall a good experience
That’s overall a good experience, the landscapes are indeed incredibly beautiful, the company is honest and correct, the meals are very simple but I think it’s fair for such remote area where resources for something more elaborated are inpossible, the guide Yonas is an excellent professional: intelligent, helpful, always friendly and respectful, he clearly loves his job! However, sleeping open air close to the volcano is extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable, the night there is very windy and cold and me and many other tourists felt bad and barely could sleep, it should be fixed. Furthermore, the driver was the opposite of the guide: unfriendly and careless regarding our luggages, mine had a damage. Apart from the mentioned minor inconveniences, I recommend this company.

Vowland. Absolutely safe and perfectly organised.
I wish I could have such fantastic tour guides in other countries. Every part of the trip — and every part of Ethiopia — was organised in a way that made me feel cared for, yet never overprotected. In every city, every national park, and every place you might want to visit, they have excellent guides who are patient, knowledgeable, and responsible. I wholeheartedly recommend considering Vowland when planning a trip to Ethiopia.
