Experts in Ethiopia | Ethiopia Adventure Tours
Ethiopia is an undiscovered gem for the willing traveller, it has the cultural diversity, archaeological pedigree and natural beauty to match anywhere in the world. Our range of Ethiopia tours take in the rugged peaks of the Simien Mountains, Lalibela’s extraordinary rock-hewn churches, ancient castles at Gondar and the bustling capital of Addis Ababa. This is a country of quite unique depth and grandeur.
Occupying a plateau, some 2,500 metres above sea level, Ethiopia’s vast landscapes stretch out before you, across stunning vistas that shelter ancient frescoes and wild baboons. It is even rumoured to be the legendary home of the Queen of Sheba and the lost Ark of the Covenant. It was once a vast empire stretching into what is now Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti, ruled by emperors claiming direct descent from King Solomon. And don’t forget the otherworldly beauty of the Danakil Depression which, created at the point where three tectonic plates collide, is Africa’s lowest point and one of the world’s hottest environments, making it a treasure trove for scientific research.

SIMIEN MOUNTAINS – Trek to “The Roof Of Ethiopia”
SIMIEN MOUNTAINS – Trek to “The Roof Of Ethiopia”
Hiking in Simien Mountains was last part of my 1 month long Expedition to Ethiopia. Hiking in attitude almost 4,000 meters just 2 days after I left hell in Danakil Depression in attitude some –150 meters (below sea level) and temperatures above 40 C was demanding - least to say. After overwhelming heat in Danakil Depression all of the sudden here in the mountains temperatures were down to –8 C during the night. For me it was just very pleasant surprise. But the trip was not about temperatures or attitude but about views – and I mean VIEWS!!!
Reputation of Simien Mountains as highest mountains in Ethiopia and possibly one of the highest in Africa, together with pictures of “smashing views” took my full attention in early stages of Ethiopian Trip preparation. Yes Views are amazing – as you can see in presentation but you have to deserve them. It took 2 days hike to come edge of the high point of Imet Gogo where everything around in sight (in distance of some 80-100 km) looked like view from a airplane since cliffs we were standing on were towering some 1,800 meters above surrounding landscape.
Basically no matter how you look at them, Simien Mountains will leave you speechless. Comprising one of the Africa’s principal mountain massifs, the Simiens Mountains are made up of several plateaus, separated by broad river valleys. The whole Landscape is incredibly dramatic. It was formed by countless volcanic eruptions some 40 million years ago; layer upon layer of molten lava was poured until it reached a thickness of 3,000 meters!
I started my trip 1 month earlier on another volcanic mountain massif of Bale Mountains which dominate South-East side of East African Rift, then I’ve spent 2 weeks traveling through Afar Triangle Desert of East African Rift to see Erta Ale and Dallol volcanoes of Danakil Depression and finished my trip in this magnificent mountain massif of North-West side of East African Rift.
Simply to say – Simien Mountains concluded one month long Expedition to Ethiopia which I will never forget as my most exciting trip of my life.
Cheers

Ethiopia Travel Guide + Vlog | Addis Ababa and Awassa
What are the best things to do in Ethiopia? This travel guide slash vlog will show you everything I did during my two weeks there! From Addis Ababa to Awassa, I'll take you to two beautiful regions of the country and share some of my best travel tips.
I visited Ethiopia for work, so didn't get to do many typical touristy things like the churches in Lalibela, Danakil Depression or hiking the Simien Mountains. But my experiences were perhaps a little more local and authentic than your average guided tour, so I hope you'll take this video for what it is.
Have you ever been to Ethiopia? Did you just pass through the capital of Addis Ababa, or did you have time to go sightseeing? Let me know in a comment below, I'm so curious!

Ethiopia Tours Video
Ethiopia Tours Video - Wade through incense into a medieval world hewn from stone in Lalibela, and watch the line between past and present blur while taking part in striking Christian ceremonies that haven't changed in 1000 years. Ethiopia's storied and sovereign history has left its wide-ranging and fertile highlands laden with historical treasures, ranging from the ancient tombs and obelisks of Aksum to 17th-century castles and burnt-out Russian tanks. Many are more than a peek into the nation's past; they are a giant two-footed leap. Ethiopia's landscapes are no less dramatic, and range from the Simien Mountains National Park and Bale Mountains National Park, which proffer tremendous trekking and innumerable interactions with dozens of animals and birds seen nowhere else on earth, to the Danakil Depression in Northern Ethiopia, an enchanting and unforgivingly hostile environment offering extreme adventure. The remote lowlands in the sultry southwest are also home to untold adventures and house some of Africa's most fascinating tribes.
Testing, awe-inspiring and heartbreaking -- a journey you'll never forget. You don't explore Ethiopia for a relaxing getaway, you venture here to be moved. And moved you shall be.
Although it's anything but desert wasteland or a perpetual home of famine and war, Ethiopia is monetarily poor and travel here is tough, both physically and mentally. However, those willing to take some doses of displeasure with Ethiopia's bounty of treasure will be pleasantly rewarded.
Enjoy Your Ethiopia Tours Video!
