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.

From our very first phone call, The Ultimate Travel Company provided excellent service.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“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.
