Ethiopia’s contrasts—ancient churches, dramatic highlands, and living tribal heritage—are yours to experience on the "Best of Ethiopia" trip. Over 15 days, this private tour leads young adults and experienced explorers from Addis Ababa to the Blue Nile, Gondar’s walled fortress, and the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela. Venture into the Semien Mountains for a taste of Ethiopia’s wild beauty, then travel south to meet the Doze, Konso, Ari, Mursi, and other indigenous peoples. The real standout of this trip? The chance to connect with cultures and communities that have thrived for millennia, all while discovering a land rich in history and breathtaking scenery.
We spent 2 weeks (April 2023) of dreams with the route offered by this travel specialist in southern Ethiopia. Accompanied by an excellent driver with a very comfortable 4x4 car and a guide fluent in English and French and rich in very broad knowledge of his country, its history, the many different tribes, the fauna, religions, different climates, climate, a real walking bible! We shared 10 days with these two very nice people and the many exchanges were friendly. A delight. We particularly liked the visits to the different tribes (Dorze, Mursi, Karo, Arbore, Hamer, Sidama and others) where we could share the preparation and their meal, the coffee ceremonies and even their dances. The different lodges for the night were all of very good quality and we really regret that actually only few tourists choose to travel through this beautiful country and its many ethnic groups so different and happy to share their daily life. Betty and Yaye prepared our journeys over 10 days and we had only very good surprises, everything far exceeded our initial expectations. Thanks again to Hailu and Fisch for allowing us to find ourselves in a different world, poor but very humble and welcoming. Michèle et Gérald / Switzerland
It was an incredible trip with a very good company we were assigned a wonderful English speaking guide who is kind, gentle, and careful throughout our entire trip. He never left us feeling uncomfortable offered us insight into many things not listed in the itinerary including understanding more about the religions, the culture of the different tribes, and the languages of the different tribes. The vehicles were new and well-maintained and very comfortable the drivers were careful and confident despite challenging road conditions in several areas the hotels and accommodations were comfortable, well-maintained and clean. We had a great time
