About us
Our young company we started from our affection for Ethiopia and a desire to share with others while contributing to the country’s future. We are an Australian-Ethiopian duo based between the two countries, bringing a unique understanding of both our customers and the communities where we travel.
We have a combined more than 15 years experience in travel, tourism and community development in Ethiopia. Through our established networks and local partners, we have unique offerings for travellers of all kinds.
So here we are, founding Handpicked Ethiopia to share the beauty and wonders of Ethiopia with others. We invite you to be part of our adventures!
We offer unique Ethiopian adventures.
Bespoke.
We provide tailored tours to Ethiopia based on handpicked destinations and partnerships formed on the ground. We adapt our tours to suit a range of group sizes and budgets and want to ensure that our guests are being looked after. We are always on the look out for new destinations, as well as to learn from our clients on what works best. We are able to tailor our tours based on special interests, so let us know what you may be looking for!
Responsible.
We believe that responsible tourism in Ethiopia can bring long-lasting benefit for communities. We work with local guides, community organisations and small businesses to create two-way connections between communities and visitors. We promote off-the-beaten-path attractions and encourage participation in community-led activities with the hope that our tours offer new perspectives to be taken home.
Diverse.
Ethiopia is a vast country of diverse peoples and lands. Visitors will get a unique taste for the richness that this corner of the world has to offer, with tours that combine nature, culture and history in all of our activities and destinations.
From hiking alpine plateaus with unique native wildlife, home stay in remote tribal communities, visit sites of the ancient Axumite Empire, to the endless salt flats in the hottest place on earth - Ethiopia has it all!
