Day 1

After a convenient hotel or airport pickup, we'll begin the city tour of Addis. One of its best-known sites is the National Museum of Ethiopia, home of the remains of “Lucy,” a bipedal hominid who lived 3.2 million years ago and was discovered in 1974. Visit the Ethnographic Museum located in Addis Ababa University's main campus for a collection of traditional and contemporary artifacts. You'll have delicious lunch at one of the Ethiopian cultural restaurants with a traditional coffee ceremony. Afterward, you'll visit one of the holiest churches of Ethiopia known as the Holy Trinity church. Then we will see the tombs of emperor Haile Silase with the amazing painting of the church. You'll later enjoy amazing views of Ethiopia’s capital city from Enoto. The final attraction of the day will be a trip through Merkato, which is believed to be the largest open-air market in Africa.

Armaye is wholly professional with flexibility to create unique itineraries and travel experiences.

I am a naturalist with an appetite to photograph endemic and vulnerable species. Armaye worked with me, awesome communication skills btw, to provide me with the appropriate destinations for the time I had available. Even with the challenges of the changing political climate during the trip, Armaye had the flexibility to make changes to lodgings, flights, destinations, etc. that still offered me the photo opportunities for which I had hoped and remain in budget. My travel plans placed me in Ethiopia during off-season for tourism, but I was rewarded with a unique insight into the natural world of that region during the rainy season. I am delighted by the many babies, juveniles, and family units that nature revealed to me, glimpsing some of the more elusive animals. The trade-off was that the trip did not coincide with migrations of birds, but the abundant numbers and varieties of resident species filled camera memory cards with animals I had never encountered. This was my first trip to the Horn of Africa. I was immersed in rural Ethiopia, but my professional guide and driver took good care to keep me safe. Of note, I do not have a palate for spicy food (I feel that cayenne pepper and curry is too spicy) so that was a challenge for me personally, but I planned for that inevitability and brought nuts, raisins, and crackers to sustain me.

Very well organised in , hotels and drivers.

Perfect organization, the hotels were very good and clean, and the drivers very professional. Armaye organized the tour only for 2 people and we visited very interesting places in the North and in the south of the country. Ethiopia has been a very nice discovery.

Responsive and reliable tour operator and fun too!

Armaye was so responsive to our request for a very last minute request for a trip to Ethiopia. He answered quickly, responded to questions quickly and designed our tour to our preferences. I was a bit nervous about travelling to Ethiopia where we knew we would be "off grid" but it was very safe and the people we met were very friendly. Armaye was our guide too - very informative and answered all my husband's inquisitive questions about culture, traditions, food. Aman was our driver and also comes highly recommended. Aman is an expert driver both on major roads and offroad. WE saw many animals specific to Ethiopia that we hadn't seen before, including lots of Ethiopian golden wolves. The 3-day tour in Afar was excellent value.
