Auf Reisen seit 3 Jahren. Im Februar 2026 war es endlich soweit….meine Äthiopien Reise fand endlich statt 🤗 Endlich konne ich meine Fussabdrücke auch in Äthiopien hinterlassen ! Was für ein wunderschönes und gastfreundliches Land. Ich bin so zufrieden mit diesem Erlebnis dass ich immer nochnicht drauf klarkomme xD Hoya Tour Ethiopia hat mich überall perfekt begleitet. Omo Valley, Lalibela, Danakil Depression und vieles mehr war so gut organisiert dass ich es zu einer meiner besten Reisen zähle, wenn nicht sogar die beste ! Man kann Hoya Tour vertrauen und sich mit Assefa & sein Team sicher fühlen. Ich liebe es wie geduldig, ruhig und flexibel Assefa ist. Ich gehe mal davon aus dass ich ein anspruchsvoller Mensch bin, es hat alles geklappt wie ich es mir gewünscht habe. Auf spezielle Wünsche wurde eingegangen sowie Organisation, Besichtigungen, Hotels, Essen&co alles wurde auf meine Wünsche zusammengestellt. Was auch wichtig ist zu erwähnen, dass ich mich immer in Sicherheit gefühlt habe ob auf dem Vulkan oder bei den Tribes in Omo Valley ! Dieses Land ist echt gastfreundlich und kulturell so vielseitig, bitte zögert nicht zulange und bucht !!! Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen. Mein adventure Herz wurde befriedigt aber auch mein ,, ich chille heute in einem geilem Hotel“ Herz, einfach einer meiner besten Zeit in Äthiopien verbracht. Die tribes in Omo Valley und Dallol in der Danakil Depression haben mir am besten gefallen aber eigentlich ist es schwer zu entscheiden denn Äthiopien ist so verdammt kulturell und vielseitig. Gönnt euch diese Reise mit Hoya Tours 😍

We look forward to welcoming you again for more unforgettable moments!Posted on Tripadvisor Joerg HVerified Perfect Travelling Concept For my Needs I cycled most of the part from near Addis to Gidole, accompanied by Assefa. A great experience for my life, where your support, your understanding of needs and wishes, your flexibility and last not least your personality have leaded the tour to an extra-ordinary time. It is in my eyes impossible to get this deep contact to ethiopian culture and people with one of the big tour operators. Here I have found a travelling concept, that I can recommend to everyone, who goes alone or in smaller groups. Hoya Tour have been for me the perfect tour operator for my purpose without any criticism at all. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OUTSTANDING GOOD TIME IN ETHIOPIA!

Your appreciation means the world to us.Posted on Tripadvisor ffliufuhlifjVerified A tour beyond expectations!!! In 8 unforgettable days, my friend and brother Assefa showcased the heart of Ethiopia with impeccable organization and thoughtfulness. Not only did he masterfully introduce me to the wonders of the Omo Valley, but he also took special efforts to journey to Lake Turkana; and despite a low-quality local guide, Assefa effortlessly ensured our experience remained top-notch. Throughout, his commitment to making me feel valued was evident, from facilitating purchases of Moringa soaps and lotions, to sharing Ethiopia's famed coffee, and arranging a heartfelt visit to a local orphanage—a place close to both our hearts. Above all, the warmth extended from his own home, where his wonderful wife served an exquisite local feast, is a testament to their unmatched hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic Ethiopian experience!
