6 Days Bale Mountains Trekking Tour

The tour was organised very well and Armaye kept me informed on anything I needed to know from when I booked it until the tour started. The Bale mountains are stunning, it’s a very wild place and very challenging which made for a fantastic adventure, I highly recommend Armaye for any tours in Ethiopia, he also put me on to a guide in Harar who was brilliant

9 Days Ethiopia Wildlife Photography Tour

Outstanding Wildlife Photography Tour If you take this photographic tour with Armaye I can say that it is excellent from the moment you are contacted to plan it. Armaye was always kind and willing to have a good experience according to our budget and interests. He sent me an itinerary for 9 days and we traveled with him also we have used local guides at some parts. We saw a lot of Wildlife including our main targets(Ethiopian Wolf, Walia Ibex, Gelada Baboons, Menilik’s Bushbuck, Bale Monkey and Mountain Nyala) also reaching them with some hikes. Breathtaking views in Simien Mountain park but more chance to see wildlife and endemic birds in Bale Mountains. Our pictures are amazing, a beautiful memory. Unfortunately for me it wasn’t enough time I had in Ethiopia as I would like to visit many parks and more endemic wildlife and birds so I will plan to come some other time and use Armaye Tours service.

Northern Ethiopia  7 Days Tour

Northern Ethiopia 7 Days

I landed on November 4th without any luggage. Car and guide Yihun were at airport and drove me to the hotel. Melese met me at the hotel and immediately took me shopping for bag clothes etc. he even negotiated the price for me. It was to be a group tour but due to political problems I got a personally guided tour at the group price. I appreciated the fact that Melese hadn’t cancelled the tour. Next day we toured Addis. Yihun and the driver were excellent and we even had a traditional injera, raw meat, BBQ chicken and local beer lunch. Melese and I flew to Bahar Dar and spent two nights at a decent hotel. First day lake and monasteries. We talked about if there was any chance I could spend time with a local Bahar Dar family Next lunch was at his sisters with coffee home made beer araki injera meat and vegetables. It was simply amazing as the kids were there as well. I really felt at home. By organizing the get together Melese surpassed all of my expectations. Fighting broke out that day in Lalibella and we had to reschedule with Melese help. Manuel was my guide in Gander. Sightseeing and Ethiopian lunch. Made local friends at the airport. Ethiopians are friendly and young people approached me so as to practice their English. Lalibela trip was memorable. Muchuw was my guide. We visited the rock churches met drank and ate with locals at an outdoor bar. Children with smiling innocent faces crowded around and it was amazing. This was innocence in the face of war. I was the Only guest at hotel with bullet holes in some rooms due to fighting near by. Next day attended church with the locals. Muchuw and I stopped at a shop and bought a proper football for a group of 10 children who were playing without a proper ball. Met the ringleader at the rock church. Will never forget the look on his face when we gave him the ball. Got back to Addis and flew to South Africa the next day I travel because I want to meet people and learn about their life, aspirations, likes and dislikes. Melese and his team made sure that all my requirements were exceeded and I left Addis with wanting to go back some day. Friends I made there are in touch frequently thru WhatsApp and some have agreed to watch over the lalibela children. Even got another guide to agree to teach the kids to play football. Have travelled everywhere, but this trip I will fondly remember and cherish thanks to Melese and his team.

Ethiopia Tours & Safari Packages

Ethiopia is one of the most scenic countries in Africa. As the country has been associated with drought and famine for many years, you might expect a desert wasteland. Instead, Ethiopia is mostly lush, mountainous and incredibly fertile. While you won’t find many of the usual safari suspects, there is plenty of animal diversity here. Wildlife viewing is different in Ethiopia. It is mostly about finding endemic creatures unique to Ethiopia in a spectacular setting. Culturally the country is equally special. You might end up dancing with tribal people in the Omo Valley or praying with highlanders in the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela. Expect the unexpected in Ethiopia, one of the continent’s most exciting emerging travel destinations.

6 Questions About Ethiopia Tours

Ariadne van Zandbergen

Answered by

Ariadne van zandbergen.

travel tour in ethiopia

What is the best time of the year for an Ethiopia safari?

“It is possible to visit Ethiopia at any time of the year. Ethiopia’s spectacular mountain scenery is at its best from September to December, when the sky is crisp and free of haze after the rains, but days are mostly sunny. September is especially recommended as during this month the mountains are covered in meskel flowers. Wildlife viewing is consistent throughout the year, but birding is at its best from November to March when Palearctic migrants are present. However, it might be best to avoid July and August, the peak of the Wet season. Travel during these months can be difficult, especially if you intend to do some hiking or camping. Although the historical circuit can be visited throughout the year, Bale Mountains and Simien Mountains National Parks can be cold and miserable during that time, and roads might deteriorate.”

What are the main tourist attractions?

“Ethiopia’s main attractions lie in the ‘historical circuit’: Bahir Dar, Gondar, Axum and Lalibela. Most visitors make use of the domestic flights connecting these towns. Bahir Dar is the base for visiting the thunderous Blue Nile Falls and the island monasteries on Lake Tana. Gondar’s main attractions are the European-influenced castles and painted churches, while the ancient city of Axum is the site of the intriguing towering stelae. Perhaps the most fascinating place on the circuit is Lalibela with its labyrinth of medieval rock-hewn churches. Nature-lovers should make a little diversion from Gondar to visit the rugged mountainous Simien Mountains NP and its endemic wildlife. Southern Ethiopia is characterized by the Rift Valley and its scenic lakes teeming with birdlife. Rising up from the rift is Bale Mountains NP, protecting the country’s most diverse habitats and endemic wildlife. Further south, reaching the Kenyan border, is South Omo, a cultural melting pot of different tribes living a traditional lifestyle, pretty much unchanged in hundreds of years. And then there is the Danakil. An inhospitable desert area that ranks amongst the lowest-lying places on earth. Highlights are looking into the earth’s inners at the bubbling psychedelic sulfur-caked hot springs of Dallol and spending a night on the active volcano Erta Ale.”

Is a holiday in Ethiopia safe?

“Ethiopia is a very safe holiday destination. Some borders with Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan are considered unsafe, but these remote areas are seldom visited by travelers. Although independent travelers might come across some minor hassles, visitors on organized tours are mostly shielded from this. Your guide will take care of your safety and avoid high-risk areas. However, there are some precautions you should take when in unfamiliar cities. For example, don’t walk around showing any valuables and never walk around unguided at night, always take a taxi. If in doubt ask your hotel receptionist or guide.”

Where in Ethiopia should I go on safari?

“Ethiopia is mostly known for its historical treasures, but its natural history is as fascinating. Ethiopia’s most popular safari destination is Simien Mountains NP. The dramatic mountain range is incised with tall cliffs and meandering river valleys. It encompasses the 4,533m Ras Dashen, Ethiopia’s highest peak. Although you can drive through the park on a day trip, the Simiens are best explored over a 3- to 10-day hiking trip. Aside from spectacular mountain scenery, the main attraction is the endemic fauna, which includes gelada monkeys and Walia ibex. While the Simiens are easily incorporated in a standard visit of the historical circuit, nature-lovers should make the journey south to Bale Mountains NP. It is the best place in the country to see a wide range of endemic mammals and birds, including the sought-after Ethiopian wolf. To look for these highly endangered dogs, you’ll drive up the world’s highest all-weather road onto the Afro-alpine moorland of Sanetti Plateau. Away from the mountains is Awash National Park in the Rift Valley, a hot and dry wasteland, interrupted by the Awash River, which tumbles down the stunning Awash Falls. This is the place to see several dry-country specials, including the endemic hamadryas baboons.”

How much will this safari cost?

“There are too many different tours to list here, but here are a few examples. A 10-day mid-range private tour of the historical circuit starts at around US$3,500 per person. To visit the Danakil Depression as part of an 11-day tour costs around US$5,000 per person. While a 10-day tour focusing on the main parks of Simien and Bale Mountains costs about US$3,000 per person. Ethiopia is a relatively affordable safari destination. There are many variables determining the price of an Ethiopia tour. The level of accommodation is a big factor. Local flights can make your trip more comfortable, but they also increase the overall cost. Another variable is the choice between a private or group tour. Ethiopia has a lot of different attractions and areas to visit.”

What animals can I expect to see?

“Ethiopia is not a regular safari destination. There is no Big Five to speak of. Instead you’ll be looking for some of Africa’s most endangered animals, mostly endemic to Ethiopia. Top of the endemics list is the Ethiopian wolf, classified as the world’s rarest dog species. These charismatic canines are remarkably relaxed on Sanetti Plateau where you might spot packs of them gathering at a den site. You’ll find big troops of the handsome golden-maned gelada monkeys in the Simien Mountains. They spend their nights on steep cliff edges, a habitat they share with the Walia ibex, a hoofed animal with impressive horns. Other endemic ungulates are the mountain nyala and Swayne’s hartebeest. A boat trip in Nechisar National Park gets you to a place called the ‘crocodile market,’ a favorite spot for these monstrous reptiles to gather and bask in the sun.”

Ethiopia - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Ethiopia, a rugged, landlocked country split by the Great Rift Valley

Ethiopia is an African nation located on the continent’s Eastern Horn (Horn of Africa). It is home to over 74 million people, and aside from Nigeria, contains the highest population in Africa. Many historians regard Ethiopia as the place of human origin as the country holds the distinction of being one of the oldest nations in the world.

Travel Highlights

  • Take a hike along the Simen mountains in one of many unique variety of national parks.
  • Go to southern Ethiopia to get a glimpse of Lake Chamo, and also to learn a little about how ancient tribes got on.
  • Check out Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa for some shopping. While you're there, visit the Addis Ababa University, which is Africa's largest University.
  • Your trip to Ethiopia is incomplete without trying ‘Injera’, sponge-like sourdough often served with soup.

Travel Tips

  • Learn a little Amharic, Ethiopia’s national language, for your dealings with the locals.
  • Ethiopia is also for the most part low-crime. Usually, western Ethiopia is the best place for travelers due to lesser known conflicts.
  • Be vigilant and careful in the areas that lay in the borders with Sudan and Kenya. These have been periodical hotbeds of crime.
  • Be careful of people who may drum up a pity story to dupe you out of some cash.
  • Don't be afraid to explore places that are deemed safe for tourists.

Ethiopia has seasonal weather so please do check up on the best time to visit Ethiopia before planning your tour. And if you’re still hunting for more things to do and places to explore in Ethiopia, do check out our Ethiopia Travel Guide for more information.

Best time to visit ethiopia.

Travellers can expect plenty of sunshine while visiting Ethiopia. Temperatures are typically warm and balmy, although they can vary greatly with altitude. The lowland areas tend to be more hot and humid, while the highlands offer cooler temperatures. Rain is common from July to September but otherwise, sunshine prevails for the rest of the year.

Geography and environment

Landlocked Ethiopia is bordered by Kenya , Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti . Home to some of the most stunning and varied landscapes in Africa ,

Ethiopia is easily the most mountainous country in Africa, with the Simien and Bale ranges providing the highest peaks. The iconic Blue Nile (which is considered holy by locals) originates in Ethiopia's Lake Tana and runs through the country into neighbouring Sudan.

Top 5 must-see sights of Ethiopia

1. churches of lalibela.

These miraculous, ancient churches cut from rock are the main reason travellers journey to the town Lalibela. Surrounded by myth and legend, these unique churches have stood for centuries and remain a sacred site for Ethiopians.

2. Aksum Ruins

This UNESCO World Heritage-listed archaeological site is home to some of the most impressive ancient ruins in the world. Located in the north of Ethiopia and featuring obelisks, royal tombs and remnants of palaces, fables suggest that this was once the home of the Queen of Sheba.

3. The Palace of Fasiladas

The city of Gonder is home to many incredible buildings, but the restored Palace of Fasiladas counts among the most impressive. Located within the Royal Enclosure, this castle possesses an intriguing fusion of Portuguese, Indian and Moorish decorative styles.

4. Blue Nile Falls

Meaning "smoking water" in Amharic, these legendary falls are best seen during the rainy season when the water levels swell, creating a thunderous amount of white water.

5. Debre Berhan Selassie Church

This unusual little church located in Gonder was built in the 17th century and features an elaborately decorated interior like no other - more than 100 winged cherubs are painted on the ceiling. A must-see when in Ethiopia.

Can I drink the water in Ethiopia?

Tap water isn't considered safe for tourists to drink. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Ask your leader and accommodation provider for local advice on where drinking water can be accessed. Also, avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit before eating.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Ethiopia?

Credit cards are accepted only by a few large hotels in Addis Ababa as cash is the main mode of payment in Ethiopia. Ensure you have adequate cash to cover purchases not able to be made on credit.

What is ATM access like in Ethiopia?

There are a few ATMs that accept foreign cards in Ethiopia, mainly in Addis Ababa and other large cities. Withdrawing cash from ATMs can't necessarily be relied on, so carrying foreign currency (like US dollars) is recommended.

World Bicycle Relief provides people in low-income communities with bicycles to mobilise school kids, health workers, and farmers in far-out areas – giving them access to vital education, healthcare, and income.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before travelling?

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

The Tully Difference

Home > Ethiopia

Ethiopia Luxury Travel

Soulful beyond words, Ethiopia brims with abundant natural wonders and engrossing UNESCO World Heritage sites.

People have been living in Ethiopia for more than three million years, making it the indubitable Cradle of Mankind.

Making up the bulk of the Horn of Africa and divided by the Great Rift Valley, Ethiopia delivers one of the most exhilarating and authentic luxury-tour experiences in east Africa. People-watching from a café in the bustling capital of Addis Ababa is an eye-opening pleasure. This city will have you tasting the distinct flavours of Ethiopian cuisine and pairing it with a strong Arabica coffee for the most authentic culinary experience possible. After all, the coffee plant originated in Ethiopia. North of the capital, the churches of Lalibela and the historical sites of Gondar and Axum will astound you, whether you’re interested in archaeology, ancient history, religion, or all three. Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches dating from the 12th and 13th centuries are Christian pilgrimage sites, revealing subterranean monoliths and frescoes. Nearby, the city of Bahir Dar on Lake Tana is quietly stunning, its little islands the home of medieval monasteries. The Blue Nile winds south of the city here to the cliffs of the Blue Nile Falls. For lovers of nature, the Simien Mountains and Bale Mountains are almost 10,000 feet above sea level, their national parks perfect for hiking. On the opposite end of this scale, the Danakil Depression is the lowest place in Africa, its underground volcanoes like a dreamscape. With rare wildlife like the ibex, Ethiopian fox, Ethiopian wolf and gelada baboons, trekking here is completely different from the classic safari.
