Luxury Ethiopia Safaris

Ethiopia is a country with a surprising amount of variety. Ethiopia is a wonderful hidden gem for those who aren’t scared to discover a more eccentric region that few tourists venture to. Ethiopia, a country twice the size of Texas, is home to more than 80 unique ethnic groups, each with its own traditions, language, and culture that stretch back more than 3,000 years. The country’s rich historical and prehistoric history adds to its natural and cultural variety. North African, Sub-Saharan, and Middle Eastern cultures have all converged there over the years. Culturally distinctive and replete with ancient places like Lalibela and Axum (must-sees for history buffs in the north), it makes an indelible impression. However, archeological findings dating back some four million years show that early hominins called this region home, adding to our understanding of human origins. While Ethiopia isn’t necessarily known as a place to go on a “wildlife safari,” we can’t get enough of the country’s rich history, culture, and abundance of outdoor activities.

Everything we create at The Bespoke African Safari Co. is custom. Use these ideas as inspiration to let us create your trip of a lifetime.

The rich history and vibrant traditions of Ethiopia are the main draws of a luxury safari through the country. UNESCO World Heritage monuments such as its mediaeval castles and elaborate 13th-century churches carved into rock are must-sees for any traveler to Ethiopia. Luxury Ethiopia itineraries notably omit “safari” in the more traditional African sense, as do many of Africa’s most famous animals. However, if you’re ready to break with tradition, you’ll be rewarded with stunning native animals and flora, including monkeys, deer, foxes, and countless birds and mammals.

You will find your reward in the diversity of Ethiopia, which includes its capital Addis Abeba as well as its high mountains and active volcanoes. In contrast to your stay in the Serengeti or the Maasai Mara, a luxury safari in Ethiopia will provide an unforgettable experience for those who are adventurous, seek variety, and are looking for a change of pace.
