This itinerary takes in the five sites on Ethiopia’s Historic Route including the Semien Mountains National park, but can still incorporate some road journeys, such as driving between Gondar and Axum, to take in the stunning scenery of Lima Limo and the Tekezze Gorge. Also, from Axum, we could proceed to Hauzien to explore some of Tigray’s rock hewn churches, flying back to Addis Ababa from Mekele. Another possible extension is to the Afar Region, the Danakil Depression, the salt mines and the volcano at Erta Ale, which would take 3-4 days from Mekele, from where one would fly back to Addis Ababa.
As a unique activity, Source Ethiopia tours facilitate and promote authentic cooking experiences whereby our guests have hands-on experience cooking and eating with locals.
The order of places visited in this itinerary reflects the current Ethiopian Airlines flight schedules, which may change, as may flight times. Please note that visitors arriving and departing on Ethiopian Airlines qualify for a substantial discount on domestic flights.
