Northern Ethiopia The northern Ethiopia is also Known as the Historical Circuit, there are over two millennia’s worth of ancient treasures scattered about, from giant obelisks and hidden tombs at Aksum to a collection of castles in and around Gonder, to unique churches in Lalibela, Tigray, Lake Tana and many other places. Not to be outdone by human mastery, Mother Nature really let her creative juices flow here. The Danakil Depression, an esteemed destination among adventure travellers, features a permanent lava lake and a bright-yellow sulphuric plain, while the Simien Mountains wrinkle the land with canyons and peaks with a beauty you’ll struggle to find anywhere else in Africa.

Memorable trip
About this team: Aman and his team strive to provide the best they can. We saw lovely sights of active volcanoes, stayed outdoors, very unique 12th century churches ( that have been visited by both Bill Gates and George Bush). We got to taste healthy which food everywhere which is very healthy despite awesome taste. We had a sick baby with us but the team went above and beyond to get her to the doctors and pharmacy which I truly appreciate. Both Yihun and Sisai did great! More than anything, I totally appreciated Aman's customer oriented mind set. The tour was a memorable one at the very least! About Ethiopia : look, please go in with an open mind. Many parts of the country are untouched by modern societies and precisely is the charm (this does come with us own issues but more about that later). You can visit ancient tribes and see how they live etc. (Tip: take extra old clothes to donate if you can. It goes a long way for them). As a part of the tour you choose, you might be traveling distant lands for hours on a daily basis. Prepare to go in with an open mind to truly experience the wonder of that. Issues ( prepare accordingly for a fabulous trip): Ethiopia has mostly bad roads outside of the main towns it's really dusty in some parts of the country so carry sun glasses, sun screen, and a hat). Carry swimsuits to bathe in salt and fresh water as well. You might be hours away from a doctor so if you have kids, or for yourself, carry basic meds. If you are used to glamping with fancy bathrooms, talk to the host before the trip starts so you can plan accordingly. Very few clean bathrooms along the way to some of the remote places. Limited food options with clean places to eat in the remote areas. None of these are restrictions to traveling but if you are a kind of person who is very focused on material comfortable, aggressive planning is needed to visit these untouched parts of the world!

A wonderful experience
Thank you Aman Ethiopia for the most wonderful tour. This was an experience I will treasure forever. My tour guides made me feel as if I was family. Their professionalism, manners, and knowledge of the country is a 10 out 10. I can’t wait to return to tour Aksum and the Tigre region. Thank you once again for the wonderful memories. O. Williams

Northern Ethiopia Tour
I would like to thank Aman, Yihun, Neway and other local tours guides for that great north ethiopia trip. I will never forget magnificent Blue Nile falls, the biggest Lake Tana, the well-preserved royal compounds in Gondar, simien mountains national park with a unique wildlife and breath-taking views on a landscape and the UNESCO World Heritage ancient rock hewn churches of Lalibela.

17 Day Roadtrip..... Experience of a lifetime!
Amaan organised every detail of our trip to the highest standard - great car, driver and guides. There was also room for flexibility and they accommodated all of our last minute changes with ease. Thumbs up to our driver Daniel who always ensured the most amazing cultural experiences and our safety. Trustworthy and reliable, we highly recommend a road trip in Ethiopia with Aman.

Great custom 2 weeks North Ethiopia tour
We (a group of 7 friends) ordered a custom 2 weeks North Ethiopia tour based on our own itinerary. Aman Tours has performed well, fulfilled all its obligations, done all in time and in a proper way. I can recommend this tour operator for anybody visiting Ethiopia. Some unexpected problems did happened (for example our first car got road accident on its way to airport to pickup our group and second car got a boiling radiator while leaving Addis Ababa), but Aman Tours made every effort to overcome all problems and succeeded. When I was going to leave Ethiopia after our tour I was denied to board my plane due to technical error of Ethiopian Airlines (my ticket was erroneously marked as refunded). Aman Tours greatly helped me in this unusual situation by booking me a hotel and assisting in my negotiations with Ethiopian Airlines. With their help I have been received new ticket free of charge and left Ethiopia by the next flight to Moscow. P.S. My special thanks to our great guide Abrham.

North Ethiopia Round Trip Tours From Addis Ababa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.
How much does North Ethiopia Round Trip Tours From Addis Ababa cost?
+
Prices start at $1,588 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Addis Ababa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does North Ethiopia Round Trip Tours From Addis Ababa take?
+
Plan for about 216 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Addis Ababa is not rushed.
Is North Ethiopia Round Trip Tours From Addis Ababa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Addis Ababa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule North Ethiopia Round Trip Tours From Addis Ababa?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is North Ethiopia Round Trip Tours From Addis Ababa suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book North Ethiopia Round Trip Tours From Addis Ababa?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Addis Ababa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Addis Ababa and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does North Ethiopia Round Trip Tours From Addis Ababa start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Addis Ababa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Addis Ababa?
+
On Outty we rank every Addis Ababa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Addis Ababa Authentic Private City Tour, Addis Ababa Guided City Tour With Airport & Hotel Pick Up, Full Day Tour of Addis Ababa with Hotel Pickup and Drop-off. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Addis Ababa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Addis Ababa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
