What people say about Yama Ethiopia Tours?

"We have just arrived back from a wonderful holiday with Yama Ethiopia Tours. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Our trip was tailored to our exact (and exacting!) requirements and our guides (Mr. Tariku w/aregay . the owner and tour guide ) were knowledgeable and great fun to be with.
Many thanks also for your fantastic guidance during our stay in Ethiopia"

We make a trip of ten days with Tariku w/aregay ( Yama Ethiopia Tours )trough the south and the tribes. It was fantastic. Organized very well and also very funny. We had also a very nice driver Isac, who speaks English very well and told us also a lot of Ethiopie and its habits. We drove about 3000 km in a too short time. Better was to do it in 14 days. We had an own cook, who was also very good. Tariku w/aregay is a very good guide, who takes very good care for the group and every evening an evaluation. I can approve this guide to everyone and you have a good trip.

We don't know anyone who had been to Ethopia, so were keeping our fingers crossed when we booked Yama Ethiopia Tours on the strength of their web site and their responsive emails from their owner, Tariku. They were brilliant! They looked after us really well and made our trip easy, fascinating and really good fun. Tarik helped us planned our itinerary (and kept calm as we kept changing it until a week before we arrived). We really needed our hands holding on this holiday and Yama Ethiopia Tours were great. Very comfortable new 4x4s too, for all the long drives.
We highly recommend then for any tours in Ethiopia
