This is the most complete journey through Ethiopia that you can take — a 16-day immersion into the country’s ancient civilizations, vibrant living cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and unique wildlife.

In the north, step back into the birthplace of kingdoms and empires: sail across Lake Tana to medieval island monasteries; feel the spray of the Blue Nile Falls; wander through Gondar’s royal castles (the “Camelot of Africa”); trek the cliffs of the Simien Mountains, home to the endemic gelada baboon; stand among Axum’s mysterious obelisks and tombs; and finally, experience the 12th-century masterpiece of Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches, often called the “8th Wonder of the World.” These are not just sites — they are UNESCO-protected treasures that shaped the very idea of civilization and spirituality in Africa.

In the south, life feels completely different. Here, you’ll descend into the Great Rift Valley, where tribal cultures thrive as they have for centuries. Visit the artistic Dorze weavers in their highland beehive-shaped homes; explore the terraced hills of the Konso people (a UNESCO cultural landscape); take a boat safari across Lake Chamo to see giant Nile crocodiles and pods of hippos; and enter the legendary Omo Valley, home to the Hamer, Karo, Dassanech, and Mursi tribes. From witnessing a bull-jumping ceremony to seeing elaborate body painting and scarification rituals, you’ll gain rare insights into traditions that few outsiders ever experience.

This is not just a tour. It is the ultimate Ethiopian journey — a chance to see a country that holds both the echoes of the world’s earliest civilizations and the heartbeat of living cultures that remain almost untouched by modernity. With expert guides, comfortable lodges, domestic flights, and intimate group size, this is Ethiopia at its richest and most rewarding.
