Why it's worth it
What you could take home.
A break from the routine
Give yourself room to unwind, step away from daily pressures and return with a fresh perspective.
New people, shared memories
Shared meals and experiences make it easier to start conversations, whether you're travelling solo or bringing a friend.
A sense of belonging
Explore alongside people who are curious about culture, connection and discovering somewhere together.
More discovery, less organising
The aim is a thoughtfully coordinated group trip, so you spend less of your break working out what comes next. Arrangements are still being planned.
Room to make it your own
A proposed balance of shared activities, rest and optional social time — no pressure to join every late night.
Stories beyond the usual holiday
Everyday moments, new flavours and local perspectives to remember long after your suitcase is unpacked.
Proposed itinerary
A possible eight-day journey
This Addis-focused outline shows the pace and experiences we're considering. Exact dates, visits and timings will be confirmed before bookings open.
2 travel days · 6 activity days
This outline keeps most activities around Addis to leave more time for experiences and rest. Harar and Shashamane are separate route options under consideration and are not included in this outline. Festival participation depends on the final travel dates and local access.
Practical details
Comfort and care are part of the plan.
We're planning the practical details around a more relaxed group experience.
What we intend to arrange:
- Comfortable accommodation, with room choices shared before booking
- Reliable drivers and suitable vehicles for the final route
- Local guides where helpful for context and access
- Security arrangements informed by the final route and current local advice
- Clear information on activity levels, downtime and what's optional
Accommodation, transport, security arrangements, guides, meals and activity inclusions are still being finalised. You'll receive the complete inclusions, exclusions, price and booking terms before deciding.
