Our lifelong journey commences with a city tour of Addis Ababa, followed by Bahir Dar's Lake Tana monasteries, Gondar's Royal Enclosures, a Simien Mountains day trip, and the rock churches of Lalibela — before continuing south to the Omo Valley's diverse tribal cultures.
A shorter version of the northern historic circuit — Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Gondar, and Lalibela — using the same real hotels and content style as Best of Ethiopia's first week.
This captivating tour of the South Omo Valley showcases a rich tapestry of indigenous tribes along the Omo River, including the Tsemay, Arbore, Hamer, Karo, Mursi, and others — with exceptional local village interactions and access to weekly tribal markets.
Join us for the religious festival of Meskel, particularly the eve celebration "Demera," in Addis Ababa's Meskel Square, following the full northern historic circuit beforehand.
Christmas, or "Genna," falls on January 7th in Ethiopia. The focal point of this tour is the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebration held in Lalibela at Bete Mariam Church.
The Timket (Epiphany) festival held in Gondar is the high point of this tour — commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ at the Fasiledes Bath, following the full northern historic circuit.
From visas to packing lists to what it actually costs - everything you need to know before you go.
Read the Travel Guide →Absolutely. Solo travellers make up a large share of every departure - you'll share the journey with a small group of like-minded explorers, and there's no single supplement on our group tours.
Our groups are kept intentionally small, usually between 6 and 14 travellers, so everyone gets real time with their guide and the trip never feels rushed or anonymous.
We confirm every departure once it reaches minimum numbers, and we'll always let you know well in advance. If a date doesn't fill, we'll help you move to the next departure or arrange the same itinerary privately.
Yes - many travellers add a few private days before or after their group departure, whether that's extra time in Addis Ababa, a side trip, or simply a slower start. Just let us know when you enquire.
Yes. Festival departures - Timket, Genna, and Meskel - have limited places, and accommodation in the surrounding towns books up quickly. We recommend securing your spot at least four to six months ahead.
A group departure follows a fixed itinerary and date, travelling alongside other guests at a shared cost. A private tour is built entirely around you - your own dates, pace, and vehicle, with a dedicated guide throughout.
All group departures can also be arranged as private journeys - your own dates, your own pace, the same expert guides.
