The Ethiopia in Depth tour starts and ends in Addis Ababa. The Ethiopia in Depth is a festivals and events tour that takes 13 days taking you through Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and other destinations in Ethiopia.

In the northeast of Ethiopia is the little-visited Tigrai region. Over the centuries, churches of differing sizes and architectural styles were carved into cliff faces and rocky outcrops, many still in use today. While following the classic northern circuit through the monasteries of Lake Tana, castles of Gondar, Simien Mountains, and monolithic churches of Lalibela, we get off the beaten path and explore this beautiful region in the heart of Ethiopian history.
