Ethiopia Holidays


africa
Ethiopia holidays boast spectacular mountain scenery, rare wildlife, a unique culture and warm, welcoming locals. For an African holiday with a difference, a tour of Ethiopia with our trusted partners Exodus or Intrepid Travel will provide an insight into this unique country.

With a Christian history dating back centuries, unique cultural beliefs and some of the finest scenery on the continent – an Ethiopia holiday is sure to be a memorable one.

Starting your travels in the thriving capital of Addis Ababa, explore the rock-hewn churches which are a lasting testament to the last Christian kingdom of North Africa, visit the former capital and religious centre at Gondar, take a trek through the jagged peaks of the Simien Mountains and discover the gateway to the captivating Blue Nile Falls at Bahir Dar for an all-encompassing tour of this fascinating country.

Trailfinders offers a range of Ethiopia holidays and our team of expert Travel Consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Ethiopia on a sociable small group adventure tour or are looking for advice on combining Ethiopia with another African country – they are the perfect people to ask.
