    Scam! Worst ever: gashew, ashu, eet, ethio backpacker

    Scam! paid private tour price, what u join is shared tour eventually. Hi gashew, ashu, and eet company, since your whatsapp has blocked me for hinder me to get my refund, please do not try to deceive customers and make your company even worse reputation. If anyone is interested in joining this company tour, please search for those bad reviews for eet and ethio backpacker, as they have multiple names.

    WELL RECOMMENDED!!!

    We would recommend this tour. Ethio Backpacker Tours. We traveled from Addis Ababa to parts of Ethiopia's southern region. I was guided by Tsehaynew. This team was very friendly and particularly knowledgeable. We visited a day trip in Addis Ababa, Omo valley tribes for 6 days, there is so much to learn regarding the rich heritage of Ethiopia, and this tour was an advent for learning the vast information.

    We felt very welcome from the beginning! It's 100% recommend!

    It's my second time to visit Ethiopia. now I came back with my family. both of my trips were arranged by Gashaw and we traveled to south Ethiopia. Gashaw gave us a wonderful 6-day tour. It was the most unique experience we ever had. Over the course of these days in Ethiopia we managed to visit lots of Omo Valley tribes: Ari, Hamar, Mursi, Dorze, Nyahgadom as well as the school of Konso and the adulting ceremony of Hamar tribe, a fairly rare event. The safari in Chamo lake in Ethiopia was great moment. We had a full program and an amazing local guide who explained everything about the culture to us. We felt very welcome from the beginning! 100% recommend

    Amazing tribes and culture!

    We were very pleased with the trip to the Omo Valley organized by Ethio Backpacker Tours. Special thanks to our driver Wonde, who made sure that the trip went safely and according to plan. At the same time, Wonde was very personally involved in helping us learn as much as possible about the tribes of the Omo Valley. We also greatly appreciate his experience and help in taking photos and videos from the trip. We recommend Ethio Backpacker Tours and driver Wonde to anyone interested in meeting the tribes in the Omo Valley.

    6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.

    How much does 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Addis Ababa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes take?

    +

    Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Addis Ababa is not rushed.

    Is 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Addis Ababa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Addis Ababa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Addis Ababa and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Addis Ababa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Addis Ababa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Addis Ababa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Addis Ababa Authentic Private City Tour, Addis Ababa Guided City Tour With Airport & Hotel Pick Up, Full Day Tour of Addis Ababa with Hotel Pickup and Drop-off. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Addis Ababa?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Addis Ababa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes?

    +

    Included: English Speaking Guide; All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; Accommodation; and Domestic Flight Ticket. Not included: Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 10 listed pickup locations in and around Addis Ababa. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes?

    +

    Is 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 6 Days Visiting Omo Valley Tribes if the weather is bad?

    +
