Discover Ethiopia

So often a country synonymous with poverty and famine, Ethiopia is richly endowed in so many other ways. The only African nation to resist colonisation during ‘The Scramble for Africa’ of the 19th century, a proud and lasting heritage awaits the intrepid visitor.

To the south lie glorious lakes, idiosyncratically colourful tribal diversity, and rich wildlife centres where rarities and unique wildlife are abundant. To the north, the resplendent castles of Abyssinia’s ancient capital, the majestic Blue Nile falls, the rock hewn churches of the Coptic Church which beggar belief and the incomprehensibly vertiginous cliffs and gorges of the Simien Mountains add up to a country of utterly breathtaking experiences.

Feedback from our Travellers

I met Mark at the Destinations show where we discussed travelling to Ethiopia. He followed up promptly and was most helpful with sorting out my booking. My extension to Harar had to be cancelled at short notice due to civil unrest and your local agent acted speedily to extend my private tour to the Omo valley to a week. They also provided me with an excellent driver/guide, Daniel (Dani) who was exceptionally knowledgeable on the area and local wildlife, especially birds. He was probably one of the best driver/guides I've had for some time. The agent also looked after me very well in Addis.

Our guide in the north of Ethiopia, Yigo, was absolutely superb. He really did go the extra mile. We had two guides on the trip to the south. The first was Elias, who was outstanding, but had to go back to Addis on day 4, because his father was gravely ill. The second was Ashu. While he was not quite in the same league as Yigo and Elias, he was nonetheless very good indeed and very helpful. The drivers throughout were brilliant. I do not know how they managed on some occasions, especially in relation to our visit to the Karo tribe. I have travelled with you a number of times and have enjoyed all of the trips. I am booked on another trip this year and I will be booking more for 2021.

Best Time to Visit

Generally the best time to visit is between October and June, when it is the dry season. Rains tend to stop in early October, meaning afterwards the highlands are lush and green – perfect for trekking amongst pretty wildflowers that have sprung up.
