TAILOR-MADE TRAVEL

ITINERARY INSPIRATION

From the rich culture of Addis Ababa to the serene plateaus of the Simien Mountains, our destination specialists will prepare the itinerary of a lifetime.

LUXURY SAFARIS ETHIOPIA

ANCIENT & UNSPOILT

Towering medieval castles and unspoilt landscapes. Mountains called ‘the roof of Africa’. The ancient home of the Queen of Sheba. A diverse culture with over 45 ethnic groups. Is Ethiopia the travel world’s best ‘secret’ destination?

We often use the words ‘explore’ and ‘discover’ in the travel industry. But with Ethiopia, the invitation to embark on a voyage of discovery is practically irresistible. Arrange your trip and travel Ethiopia with us!

A tailor-made holiday to travel Ethiopia takes you beyond the heightened comfort of luxury hotels and into a world that is entrancing in a different way. For the full effect our Ethiopian expert, Chloe Henderson, recommends you drive across country rather than fly, and treat yourself to some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable.

The astonishing Simien Mountains, for example, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Their admiration comes from the beauty of their jagged ridges, conical tops and heart-stopping precipices.

Journeying further; Bahar Dar offers the Blue Nile and Lake Tana. Addis Ababa teems with life, culture and diverse people. Gondar is the Camelot of Africa. Harrar is a magical, Islamic walled city. Churches stand out of the living rock at Lalibela; the place – according to Chloe – to join in the amazing Timkat religious fesitival, which the locals celebrate in every January.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
