Book a Tour to Discover Ethiopia

Most tours start in the capital of Ethiopia - Addis Ababa where there are lots of markets, churches, cathedrals, mosques, cafes and nightlife. From here you will be able to travel overland and explore the country visiting rural communities and seeing a different way of life. Our top recommendation is to visit the Simien Mountain National Park, Lalibella, Hawassa which are spectacular.
