À propos de ce voyage

Travel to Ethiopia on this remarkably diverse journey of ancient historic sites and present day tribal cultures.

The full tour visits the historic north during the Timket traditions as well as the Omo Valley, home of diverse ethnic groups, in the south. We offer the option to join just one part to suit your interest.

The tour of historic North Ethiopia starts with arrival in Addis Ababa. We visit Lalibela, Bahir Dar and Gondar. 

In Lalibela we attend the traditional timket festival with the locals. Then to the famous eleven churches in Lalibela each carved by hand from solid rock; a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the wonders of the ancient world.

One delight is a boat trip on Lake Tana to the Zeghe Peninsula known for its 14th century round, grass-roofed churches with  magnificent wall murals. We explore the splendid city of Gondar with its many medieval buildings including royal palaces and picturesque churches.

We take a break from history with an excursion to Semien Mountains National Park which contains some of the most dramatic scenery in Africa. Here you will see the exotic Gelada baboons with their bright red hourglass chest markings.

The second part of the tour travels through Ethiopia’s beautiful and primitive Omo Valley. With our knowledgable guide we enjoy encounters with various tribal groups. We will visit several markets for spontaneous interactions and fantastic photo opportunities!
