The best experience ever! - Sycamore Ethiopia Tours, in particular Haile, made our trip one of the most special in our lives. The amount of care he gives to his clients is unbelievable. We felt like family members and not clients. We had a 10 day trip, covering the Danakil Depression, Omo Valley and Addis Ababa. Every single day was full of excitement and adventure. Our days were perfectly planned and every need and desire taken care of. Even in the parts of the country where resources are limited, Haile ensured that we were made comfortable. He got a cook to travel with us in the more difficult parts of the country to give us fresh and delicious food. He got his own car with driver to drive all the way from Addis to Omo Valley, so we have a comfortable car at our disposal. He even ensured that we got our stock of Elsa Kolo ( something I got addicted to while in Ethiopia) to carry back home. Honestly, I could not have imagined a better experience than what Haile created for us. And therefore, I cannot recommend Sycamore enough! If anyone is visiting Ethiopia, or planning to visit, SYCAMORE is the tour company you need to go for!

Excellent Omo Valley tour , Best Tour Operator from Addis - I went to Ethiopia to see the most amazing tribes of south Ethiopia mainly the lower Omo Valley tribes . I booked my nine days eight nights photography and safari tour with sycamore tours and they offered me a reasonable price at a professional service . During my tour discovered the beautiful nature , wildlife and authentic tribes culture and food tour experience . The service was great and the organising part was also perfect . I traveled to many places in the world and I normally don't bother to write the review, but this is an exception. If you plan to travel to Ethiopia, whether for photography or sightseeing, I highly recommend you contact this tour company ,you will not be disappointed. Thank you Mr. Haile ,tour operator and Zinabu my Excellent driver just all the team .
