A week-long journey from Addis Ababa along the historic northern route is the perfect opportunity to take in the most extraordinary cultural sites and experiences in the country, and give you a deep understanding of Ethiopia’s past, present and future.

Start exploring with a tour of the capital, some of the finest Ethiopian food in the city and an introduction to local customs and culture.

Leaving Addis, you’ll head for the painted monasteries of Bahir Dar; hike to the Blue Nile Falls; discover the fortified city of Gondar and its exceptional architecture; explore the stunning Simien Mountains; and finish with a visit to the famous monolithic churches of Lalibela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy plenty of local hospitality along the way.
