Experience the best of Ethiopia: 11 days
Overview

After the success of our private tours and growing requests for a shared experience, we’re excited to launch our very first group tour—bringing travelers together to explore Ethiopia in an even more meaningful way.

This is your chance to join a once-in-a-lifetime group journey through the heart of Ethiopia, where ancient history and vibrant living traditions come alive.
This immersive 11-day adventure begins in the South Omo Valley, where we take a rare, in-depth look at the Hamar way of life. As a group, you’ll share in extraordinary cultural encounters—witnessing bull-jumping ceremonies, joining traditional cooking and craft sessions, and connecting with Hamar families in their communities. Traveling together makes these experiences even richer, as we reflect and exchange perspectives on the culture and traditions we’re welcomed into.

From there, the journey carries us north to Ethiopia’s most iconic sites: the legendary rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, the thundering beauty of the Blue Nile Falls near Bahir Dar, the castle-studded city of Gondar, and the dramatic escarpments and wildlife of the Simien Mountains. Our tour concludes in Addis Ababa, where local food and music provide the perfect finale.

Designed for travelers who want to do more than just see Ethiopia, this group tour blends authentic cultural immersion with world-class historical and natural wonders—offering moments of connection, discovery, and shared adventure that will stay with you long after the journey ends.
