This tour was an oasis for a day outside of the bustling, incredibly busy city that is Addis Ababa.
This tour is a must if you want a slice of peace and tranquility outside of the extremely busy city of Addis Ababa. The resort was a calm serenity if you are just looking to unwind and see some of the countryside, the real Ethiopia, away from the concrete jungle. However as good as the tour was, my tour guide Joseph took the whole experience to another level. His knowledge and communication skills were second to none but not only that of all the tours I’ve been on all over the world, he is truly one of the happiest, genuine and nicest tour guides I have ever had. He is the true gem of Ethiopia. Much love 🙏.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Aman Ethiopia Tours & Travel! It’s incredible to hear you are happy with our service & our arrangements clearly made it a memorable experiences! We look forward to hosting you again.

From hot summer of Delhi to cool winters of Ethiopia
The tour guide Joseph and driver George from the Aman Travel company were fantastic. Very cordial, English speaking and kind. The trip started with few hrs at the Kiruftu water park followed by delicious local traditional lunch. Then city tour including visit to Entoto park, St Mary's Church, museum, and finally back to our hotel. A day well spent with my son!

Excellent service
Yihun was our very friendly and brilliant tour guide, while Noor was our proficient and very kind driver. They both made an excellent team who gave us a top-notch trip! The warmth was palpable and the good vibes was second to none. My wife particularly loved the truck that picked us from our hotel. They made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every minute of the journey. And now, I completely agree Ethiopia is a land of hospitality! Great job guys; kudos and thank you!

Spa Day at Kuriftu Resort
The real deal is to expend a relaxation day in a nice Resort located in a marvelous natural landscape. After one and a half hour road trip we arrived to the Resort. Our driver (Sis) took care of the full day inscription at the front desk and after that we started the fun under his guidance : half an hour kayaking in a peaceful lagoon, a body massage, manicure and pedicure (this last two where not included but we couldn't resist), a wonderful buffet and an Ethiopian Coffee served in a cozy place with a relaxing lagoon view... You are going back to Addis Ababa feeling relax. If weather is good, don't forget your bathing suit!!!

Great Day out - Very Relaxing
Great to escape from the city for a lovely tranquil day at the Spa Resort. Abiy was an excellent driver and very helpful with local information. Our treatments at the Spa were excellent and the staff were very attentive. After a delicious lunch we relaxed by the pool for an hour or so. It was a pity that the Resort were not able to supply towels for non residents to use so best to take your own.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.
How much does Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns) cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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 Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns) take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns)?
+
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 Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns)?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns) 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 Addis Ababa Spa Day Trip To Debre Ziet(Resort Towns)?

Not included: Any Alcohol Drinks; Dinner; Video and photographing fees; and Gratitude and personal expense. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
