Photography Tour

There is no other place in the world where one can enjoy great wildlife and landscape photography and combine it with extraordinary cultural experiences. Ethiopia has all of this and more: the awesome landscapes and wildlife of the Bale and Simien Mountains, the spectacular cranes and other waterbirds of the Rift Valley Lakes and the palaces of Gondar, home of many of Ethiopia’s kings and emperors.

You can visit the Omo River Valley for an extraordinary cultural experience and outstanding photography. It is truly like going back in time 20,000 years. You can also visit the Mursi, Surma, Karo, and Hamar tribes, and you will have up close and intimate portrait opportunities that you’ll treasure forever. After that you can visit the Christian north of the country then you can fly into Gondar and then drive to the beautiful Simien Mountains. Here you can take photographs of wonderful landscapes and, in addition, you will have close encounters with wild and exotic gelada monkeys where you can take stunning portraits and even wide angle shots. Later yu can visit Lalibela, the location of the amazing rock-hewn churches that date from the 11th century. These churches are what’s left after the surrounding rocks were cut away. It’s brilliant architecture, and along with the Ethiopian priests as models, the photography here is fabulous.
