I’ve been traveling with Wanderlust Ethiopia for 34 days, in September/October this year. everything was organized on very good way...we really had great time with him, it’s very professional tour agency. next year I’m going to book one more tour with him, for sure..

We used Wanderlust Ethiopia in 2020 for a 13-day tour of the south and they were great. The guide, Golden, was very knowledgeable, attentive and also great company which is important when you are together for a fortnight.

I used them in them in the spring of 2022. We spend a week traveling in the lower omo valley. We choose to rough it and sleep in tents, rather than stay in hotels or motels. We were traveling with 3 women and 2 men. I cannot highly recommend them highly enough.
Not only did they take us to a bunch of amazing villages and tribes (one of which we spent the night in) but they were extremely flexible and helpful. Right at the start of our trip, we had to make a major modification because another group that was also traveling in Ethiopia had to change their plans and one of their members came to join us. They arranged for her to meet us part way through our trip. Despite the slight detour, they still made sure that we got to see everything that we were interested in.
The guides and drivers were also really personable. One of our group had a birthday while we were there and they took us all out to dinner, got her a gift and generally provided us with a really great party.
So Highly recommend.

I've just come back from Ethiopia and we used Wanderlust Ethiopia, I was really impressed with the whole package we got. It was very reasonably priced and the guide really knew his stuff. The whole trip worked out really well and I would highly recommend them.

I used them and I think that is an excellent choice to traveling throughout Ethiopia. I was there with my friends one year ago on the south part, in the Omo valley.
The guide was excellent.

I booked my tour of Northern Ethiopia with Wanderlust and was generally pleased with the itinerary. Most of my guides were helpful and knowledgeable, I particularly enjoyed spending time with Degu in Bahir Dar!

I traveled with Wanderlust Ethiopia back in March 2023. Even then, they were a great choice for my week long travel in the Lower Omo Valley. The tour was well organized and I had great trust in our guide Golden to show us such an amazing part of Ethiopia. He was also willing to accommodate our travel requests within reason, which made me feel like I had a say in my experience and wasn't just being blindly taken from location to location. The cars were new and comfortable and the drivers were friendly and interesting, but most importantly were very competent and attentive while driving. I felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. I'd recommend Wanderlust Ethiopia both as a professionally run and organized tour and for the guides and drivers, whose personality and friendliness provided wonderful travel companions as well as experienced guides.

I want to highly recommend Wanderlust Ethiopia. We spent about a month traveling around Northern Ethiopia (Simian Mountains are amazing), the Orthodox circuit, and the Lower Omo Valley (also amazing). Unfortunately, were not able to do Danakil Depression, but I have heard fantastic things and would recommend it if your timing works out… I’ll be back to do it again. Fantastic guide – Golden’s enthusiasm and flexibility made our trip fantastic. Especially in the Lower Omo Valley I feel like we had a unique experience (partying with tribes, having a goat roasted with new friends of the Hammer tribe). This is especially important in Lower Omo where most tourists frequent the same tribes, leading to a less than pure experience. Golden definitely went out of his way to make it that we did not visit these same tribes…often meaning longer travel times (but, that was important to us.) The gear, the cars, the drivers ....all awesome. Accommodation and food, also fantastic (so much that I needed a diet after.) The price of a guide – any guide – is expensive. But COMPLETELY necessary in Lower Omo, Simian Mountains, and Danakil. There’s just no way to explore if you do not have somebody that knows what they’re doing, has the friends, and has a very sturdy 4x4 that will get you there.

I've visited Ethiopia in January and I must say it was the best experience ever. I believe it's very difficult to coordinate a group (it was 15 of us) on that kind of trip, but it seemed Golden had no problem with that. I must say that this journey has exceeded all of my expectations thanks to good organisation.
I highly recommend Wanderlust Ethiopia tours and I hope I'll have a chance to travel with them again (next time to the northern part).
