Photo Gallery: Beautiful Ethiopian Faces
We’ve just been to Lalibela for Ethiopian Christmas around 7th of January, and we took this opportunity to catch some of the magic moments with the lens of our photo cameras. These pictures also show that the Ethiopians do really have beautiful faces. If you don’t agree, check these photos all taken on the Christmas day in the labyrinth of the ancient churches hewn out of the bedrock in the 12th century.
Ethiopian Christmas & our team trip to Lalibela
After several months of occupation the holy town of Lalibela has been freed from the occupation by the Tigrayan soldiers. The Ethiopian Christmas called "Genna", since centuries celebrated most importantly and in a particular way in Lalibela, represented the best occasion for us to return there. While before the pandemic and civil war we used to travel there with clients almost every week, it's too long time we've not been in Lalibela and this visit was long overdue.
SimienEcoTours is welcoming the Ethiopian Diaspora
In support of the call of PM Dr. Abiy for the Ethiopian diaspora around the world to join the Great Ethiopian Home Coming, we have developed some special offers to give the diaspora some great options to get out and enjoy Ethiopia.
The packages can be booked by anyone interested, but the Ethiopian diaspora will get a 30% discount on the normal prices. This is because all tourism stakeholders (tour operators, Ethiopian Airlines, hotels and lodges, guides,...) are highly supporting this initiative and offering attractive offers and discounts.

SimienEcoTours got awarded for Sustainability
Looking for a true sustainable travel experience to Ethiopia? SimienEcoTours is striving towards a responsible and more sustainable travel approach ever since our foundation in 2014 and recently got awarded with the Travelife Partner level standard. With small steps we walked on this new path for Ethiopian tourism. There has been not so much understanding about Corporate Social Responsibility in tourism including environment, biodiversity, human rights and labour relation when we started, but nowadays SimienEcoTours is on a good way to offer truly better travel adventures.
