TAILOR-MADE ETHIOPIA HOLIDAYS & SAFARIS

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.

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.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“HOLIDAY GUIDANCE THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE”

The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
