Speak With a Designer

Every journey begins with a conversation

No call centres and no templates. Write to us and an Addis-based designer replies personally, usually the same day.

Get In Touch

Tell us about the journey in your head

However rough the idea, it is enough. We will come back with questions, a route worth considering, and a straight answer on cost.

What Happens Next

Four steps, and no money changes hands until the third one reads right to you.

You write, we listen

A sentence is enough to start. Dates, pace, altitude tolerance and what you want the trip to feel like.

We draft a route

Within 24 hours a named designer sends a first outline with two or three options and honest pricing.

We redraw it

Usually twice, sometimes four times. Nothing is booked and no deposit is taken until it reads right to you.

We are there

Met on arrival, guided throughout, and a 24-hour line to your designer for the whole of the journey.

Our Promise

Locally owned, locally guided

An Addis-based team of designers, scholar-guides and drivers who have worked together for years — not a franchise operating at a distance.

Designed, never packaged

Every itinerary is drawn from scratch around your pace, interests and appetite for altitude. Nothing on this site is fixed.

Access that cannot be booked online

Curators, priests, archaeologists and artisans who open doors at the hours when no one else is there.

Present before, during and after

One named designer from first enquiry to final departure, with a 24-hour support line for the whole of your journey.
