• 5I had an amazing experience

  I had such an incredible experience in Arbaminch—it truly exceeded my expectations. From the stunning scenery to the rich culture, every moment felt like an adventure. What made the trip especially memorable was our amazing guide, Andualem. He was not only very knowledgeable but also warm, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and took the time to explain everything in a way that made the experience even more meaningful. Thanks to him, the whole trip felt smooth, fun, and personal rather than just a typical tour. I would highly recommend Andualem to anyone planning to visit Arbaminch. He made my trip unforgettable, and I’m so grateful for the experience!

• 5A trip of a lifetime!

  There is a reason why South land Ethiopia Tours is rated so high. This was such a great tour. A trip of a lifetime, that I will never forget. We did the 3 day tour with Andu and his crew. The price was very reasonable in US dollars. Everyday we were picked up and driven to a location. Andu was very knowledgeable about the area, including medicinal plant and birds, which are two things I love. The area is so rich with history, lush plants and lots of sunshine. First day, we went to Lake Chambo for a sunset cruise to see crocodiles and hippos. It was surprising to see so many other birds! Eagles, storks and herons all showed up to say hello. Second day, we hiked through the Nech Sar National Forrest. We had an armed guard who was our guide and Andu was in the back making sure we all made it. We saw many kinds of baboons and monkeys. We didn’t make it all the way to the Gods bridge because it got too hot, but 10 miles later we got to dip in the springs. Third day, we went to the Dorze tribe, which was such a great way to end the tour. Afterwards, we got some Nile Perch! Then we were dropped off at the airport. Ethiopia is such a beautiful and magnificent country to visit in Africa. I am so glad we chose to visit Arba Minch. If you visit, make sure to use a knowledgeable tour company like Southland Ethiopia Tours.

• 5Andualem

  Here it is: “I’m just a door in Ethiopia — carved from old wood, warmed by the highland sun. I’ve seen mountains breathe clouds, heard coffee ceremonies whisper history, and watched centuries pass barefoot across the floor. Still… when you walk through me, even the land pauses like, ‘Yeah. That one belongs here.

• 5MAKE SURE to book with Andualem for an Amzing trip!

  What an amazing trip! Our guide Andualem, truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent experience. If you visit southern Ethiopia, MAKE SURE to book with Andualem! As a local born and raised in the area, Andualem was extremely knowledgeable about the local, culture, history, and wildlife, for a truly authentic experience. His passion for his craft and genuine personality made us feel right at home. Having visited other regions in Ethiopia in the past, Arba Minch has been my favorite thus far! During our quick 2 day trip we were able to enjoy many different activities including hiking to the 40 springs in Nech Sar National Park, animal viewing on Lake Chamo, visiting with Dorzee village, etc. Andualem picked us up from the airport with a big 4x4 for safe traveling on off roads. Our trip was thoroughly planned out stopping for refreshments and dining at local restaurants along the way(including fresh Nile Perch). He was eager to answer any questions in English(for me) and Amharic(for my dad). His expertise, attention to detail, and welcoming personality made for a safe and unforgettable trip! I can’t say enough good things about our trip/guide and would PROUDLY recommend Andualem to all family and friends! Hope to see you again soon ! You’re friends, Luel and Kaleb

About Arba Minch

Arba Minch is a southern Ethiopian town between two great Rift Valley lakes, Abaya and Chamo, with a national park of hippos, crocodiles and zebra.

Arba Minch, whose name means forty springs, sits on a ridge between Lake Abaya, red-brown with silt, and Lake Chamo, in the Rift Valley of southern Ethiopia. The town is divided into the lower Sikela and the higher Shecha, and the springs feed a lush groundwater forest at its edge. A narrow neck of land called the Bridge of God separates the two lakes.
