Ethiopia – RAW Africa EcoTours

Ethiopia = Unearthed

There’s something about Ethiopia that makes the heart sing. And that’s all thanks to the rich culture, the fascinating people and their proud traditions. A plethora of fascinating tribes provide the tapestry of this enthralling nation, most of whom have managed to survive with their rituals and customs in tact, despite an ever changing world.

And don’t be fooled into thinking the wildlife is second best. From the rarely seen Ethiopian wolf to the gelada monkeys and endless birds, there’s plenty to feed the senses in this beautiful country.

CONSERVATION

At RAW Africa Eco-Tours, we are serious about supporting local communities and their conservation efforts. By joining us on an Ethiopian tour you will be helping conservation by:

A portion of all tour payments to RAW Africa Eco-Tours is passed on to one of the conservation organisations relevant to the places we visit and the people we meet. In Ethiopia we support the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme.

We hire a local guide from the guiding co-operative in each region when we visit Ethiopia. This creates employment and provides tourism experience in local communities. We choose activities where the payment stays in the nearby area and we even take our coffee breaks at women-owned coffee stands. These actions ensure that the majority of our tourism $$ remains local.

On every RAW Africa Eco-Tours journey we ask you to do one small thing that will make a difference to wildlife. In Ethiopia we ask you to say “no” to plastic bags, which can have a devastating impact on agriculture and waterways, and to purchase a beautiful cloth bag from Salem’s Women Co-operative in Addis Ababa.

“Ethiopia -You can never have too many coffee ceremonies! Ethiopia was fascinating, the history and traditions were amazing. Loved our trip.”

“Kenya, such a variety of wildlife experiences and insight into local culture through the eyes of Jaros, our RAW Africa Eco-tours guide. Amazing. Congo, what a wonderful, underrated tourist destination. Beautiful people, wildlife experiences and community projects. Thanks so much RAW Africa Eco-tours, I couldn’t have had a better time.”

“RAW Africa Eco-tours delivered the travel experience I had hoped for and more. Brooke’s local knowledge of the area, its wildlife, cultures and hidden secrets brought Africa to life. Not only did we experience the unimaginable, we were exposed to real community conservation projects. Thanks for an amazing 3 weeks RAW Africa Eco-tours. I’ve loved every minute of it.”

“Our Raw Africa Eco-tours safari ticked all the boxes, adventure, wildlife, communities, it was everything I hoped it would be plus more. And it’s not fake or artificial, it’s totally RAW!”

“The RAW Africa Eco-tours experience is unique because you will go off the beaten track and see a side of Africa that the mainstream companies won’t show you. RAW Africa Eco-tours took us on a trip that met our needs and interests around community conservation as well as spectacular wildlife.”

“RAW Africa Eco-tours has its heart in the right spot, I got so much out of our safari but RAW Africa Eco-tours makes it easy to give so much back. You’ll look back on your trip and realise I did that! And it makes you want to do it again.”

“This place is amazing. Before I came to Africa, I didn’t know what to expect. It has blown my mind.”

"What a way to escape normality of life of the western world... you need to put this on your bucket list! It was so much better than we imagined it could be. The different savannahs and the big 5 animals of National level to conversation levels, each with their own unique landscapes and history and each one was so exciting. We never imagined we would see giraffes fighting in the wild, or hear lions roaring and protecting their young or cheetahs on the hunt. But what was even more interesting was seeing how the local tribes live and survive in the savannahs among these wild animals! We felt as if we were part of National Geographic! Thanks for the amazing trip of a lifetime."

"Get ready for Kenya – Because once you see a lion in the wild, you can’t go back. The Maasai Mara will make you its own."
