The Ethiopian calendar is behind the Gregorian calendar by 7 years and 8 months. Ethiopia is in the GMT+3 time zone. Days begin at sunrise. 12am = dawn, 6pm = noon, 12pm = dusk, (in Ethiopian time).

Prudent Planning: However good our resources are, they are limited to handle a certain number of guests. Therefore, if you decide to visit Ethiopia, as we hope you will do, we respectfully ask you to let us plan your tour together a few weeks before you start for Ethiopia. This foresight planning guarantees you the most cost-effective and enjoyable tour experience.

Visas: Foreign visitors must have entry visas. Entry visas can be obtained from Ethiopian Diplomatic and consular missions abroad. Arrangements can be made in advance for a visa to be available at the airport.

In case of tight time tables: There are times when you have a very tight schedule to keep, and very little time to keep it in. Even in such bottleneck situations, the experiences we have acquired, the dedication of our team, the smooth and cordial working relationship that we have developed with various local administrations and service providers, give us the ability to be flexible, adjust situations, and optimize results even while actually conducting the tours.
