Historical October 2021 programme

Northern Explorer Trek and Jamma Canyon

This historical programme joins a northern trek beginning in Lalibela with a separately described Jamma Canyon extension. The two components need to be considered independently when choosing walking effort and the time available for an Ethiopia journey.

Places and route components

  • Lalibela and the northern walking programme
  • Eleven-day main walking programme
  • Five-day Jamma Canyon extension

Schedule details still to resolve

This past programme ran in October 2021 and combined an eleven-day trek with a five-day Jamma Canyon extension. Whether the extension was optional, and which day the two parts shared, was not stated clearly. The dates are historical.

Developing this journey

Choose the main trek and extension as separate planning decisions. Ask which travel day is shared, where the handover occurs and what support each activity needs. Past event dates should remain historical context rather than becoming a repeated annual promise.
