In brief

Ethiopia is the only African country never colonised, with its own alphabet, its own calendar (7-8 years behind ours) and a religious tradition tracing back to King Solomon. In Lalibela, eleven churches are carved whole out of solid rock.

History

The Kingdom of Axum was one of the great ancient empires, with its own coinage and obelisks. Christianity arrived in the 4th century, earlier than in many European states. Ethiopia resisted Italian invasion, apart from a brief 1936-41 occupation.

What to see

The eleven monolithic churches of Lalibela, carved in the 12th century, a UNESCO site. The stelae of Axum. The Omo Valley with its traditional tribes. And the Danakil Depression, the hottest inhabited place on Earth, with active mud volcanoes.

Food

Injera, a sour, spongy flatbread that doubles as plate and cutlery. Wat, a spicy meat or lentil stew. And the traditional coffee ceremony — Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of coffee.

When to go

October to March, the dry season after the rains.

Tour's Location

Is this a group tour or an individual trip?

It is entirely yours. You do not travel with a group: the programme, the dates and the pace are adapted to you.

Will the flight be direct?

It depends on the season and the destination. Many trips do have a direct flight, but depending on your dates the airlines may not have a direct connection available for that period, in which case the trip may involve one stopover. We will tell you the exact flight routing clearly in your quote, before you proceed with the booking.

Is the "From €X" price what I'll actually pay?

Not necessarily. The "From €X" price is the lowest price available today, based on current flight and hotel availability for that destination. Because availability changes daily, the final price for your specific dates may differ. We'll send you a firm, written quote before anything is charged, once you tell us the dates you have in mind.

Why does the price change depending on the date?

Flight and hotel prices change daily depending on season, demand, day of the week, and how far in advance you book. That's why the price shown is indicative — the earlier you tell us your dates, the easier it is for us to secure the best possible price.

How much does a single room cost?

The single-room supplement varies by hotel and destination, and is included in the quote you'll receive for your specific dates. If you're travelling alone, let us know from the start so the quote already reflects the correct single-room price.

When do I pay for my trip?

Payment is due in full at the time of booking. For certain hotels that have their own payment policy (for example a deposit or a specific payment deadline), we'll let you know clearly before you proceed, so you know exactly what applies.

If I book now, is the price locked in?

Yes — once your booking is confirmed, the price is fixed and won't be affected by later changes in flight or hotel prices. Availability and price can only change before your booking is finalised.

Is there a surcharge if I depart from a different city?

Several trips offer the option to depart from a city other than Athens (for example Thessaloniki), usually with a small additional charge. If this applies to a specific trip, it will be noted on the page or mentioned when we send your quote.

When can I depart?

Any day you like. Choose a date in the calendar and we arrange the rest.

Is the price per person?

Yes, the price shown is per person in a double room. For single occupancy or for children, ask us for an updated quote.

What documents do I need?

Ethiopia requires a visa, which is easily obtained online before travel through the official e-Visa portal (evisa.gov.et). Make sure to arrange it before departure, along with a passport valid for at least six months.

Can I change the programme?

Of course. We add or remove days, change hotels and combine with another destination.

How long is it?

The suggested programme is 7-day, but it can be shortened or extended as you wish.

How do I book?

Contact us or fill in the form. You receive a detailed quote before any payment.
