The Collection

Every journey we run

Filter by the kind of travelling you want to do. Any of these can be lengthened, shortened or combined.

How We Work

What is true of every journey on this page

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.

Planning Your Journey

Tour questions, answered plainly

Are these fixed group departures?

No. Our journeys are private and designed around the people travelling together. The routes on this page are starting points, not fixed departures.

Can I customize one of these tours?

Yes. We can adjust the pace, length, accommodation, activities and route around your dates, interests and comfort with road time or altitude.

Can two itineraries be combined?

Yes. Many guests combine parts of two routes. Tell us which places matter most and we will redraw them as one practical journey.

What is included in the price?

Each tour page lists its usual inclusions and exclusions. Your final proposal confirms the exact accommodation, transport, guiding, meals, flights and entrance fees covered by the quote.

How large are the tour groups?

Journeys are private, with the published routes designed for parties of up to ten guests. The exact suitable group size is shown on each tour page.

What happens after I enquire?

An Addis-based designer normally replies within 24 hours with questions and a first route. We revise it with you, and no deposit is taken until the itinerary reads right.

Speak With a Designer

Or start with a blank page

Most of our guests end up somewhere between two of these routes. Describe the journey in your head and a designer will draw it properly.
