The Best of Ethiopia — Route Overview

This broad concept connects volcanic lowlands, northern heritage, mountain landscapes and the south. Its scope is ambitious: Danakil and Tigray lead into Lalibela and the Simiens, followed by Gondar, Bale and the Omo Valley. The balance between travel and time in each place deserves close attention.

Schedule details still to resolve

The route is planned as a sixteen-day journey, but only the first fourteen days are described. Ask the operator how the final two days are used before comparing it with other routes.
