Nature escape trips in Ethiopia

The pandemic hit us all unexpected and ever since travelling for many of us became a safety concern. Slowly, we get more and more confident about leaving the house again but are still not sure of what is possible when leaving Addis Ababa. Therefore our team went to several destinations all over Ethiopia to see how it feels to travel and what is possible at the moment.

And we come back to you with several great nature escape trips for you and your friends that are totally fine and pretty safe to do at the moment. Plus you will amazed by some of the nature gems that we discovered for you. We put all our creativity and logistics together to make you mountain biking, hiking, kayaking or simply relaxing at Lake Tana, Simien or the Lasta Mountains. Just talk to one of our Travel Experts to get your trip going.

Furthermore, we worked on our Safe Travel Guidelines and trained our staff and guides to guarantee you hygienic and safe journeys in times of the pandemic. We also adapted our booking terms to give you the chance for a really low risk booking with us.

The world famous rock churches of Lalibela are a must-see for almost every tourist visiting Ethiopia. But did you know that the surrounding mountains are one of Ethiopia's top hiking destinations? Therefore this trip offers you the option to combine your stay in Lalibela with some spectacular hiking through villages and rural parts of Ethiopia. At Mt. Abuna Yoseph Community Conservation Area at more than 4,000 meters you will get a glimpse of nature and might spot the iconic blood breasted Gelada baboons as well as the Ethiopian Wolves.

Looking for an escape from the city within a splendid nature setting? Then this offer might be your choice! Nestled at the Northern lake shore of Lake Tana in the middle of trees far away from any hussle lies the beautiful Tim & Kim Village. Just a one hour drive away from the ancient city of Gondar and Gondar Airport it is the perfect nature escape for a couple of days. This tour can be easily arranged on any trip that passes by Gondar or Simien Mountains. And with a domestic flight coming from Addis Ababa this quiet & cosy paradise is also just a stone's throw away.

From the old imperial city of Gondar you set off for a mountain biking adventure in the Simien National Park, probably one of the most spectacular sceneries in the country. Bike along lonely gravel roads with magnificent views. Some climbs are followed by endless descents that wind down into the valleys.

Spot the wildlife of Simiens from the saddle when iconic blood-breasted baboons romp along the slopes and klipspringer antelopes emerge from the thicket while the majestic lammergeier soars above the dramatic escarpments.
