This 8-day Lalibela & Omo Valley tour from Addis Ababa combines two of Ethiopia’s most extraordinary travel experiences: the ancient rock-hewn churches of Lalibela and the remarkable cultures and landscapes of Southern Ethiopia. The journey begins at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, with a flight to Lalibela for two days of exploration before continuing south to Arba Minch and eventually Jinka. In Lalibela, you will explore the famous monolithic churches, experience living Ethiopian Orthodox religious traditions and, depending on your travel dates, have opportunities to encounter church services and the lively Saturday local market. The southern part of the journey follows a carefully designed six-day Omo Valley route from Arba Minch to Jinka, visiting the Dorze, Konso, Arbore, Hamar, Karo and Dassanech communities while also exploring Lake Chamo and the landscapes of the Lower Omo Valley. This is a private tour, allowing the itinerary to remain flexible around church services, local markets, community activities, flight schedules and cultural events. Although this package is presented as a journey from Addis Ababa to Jinka, the Omo Valley portion can also be arranged in the opposite direction, beginning from Jinka and ending at Arba Minch, depending on your travel plans.
