Our Story
Where Ethiopia's
Story Begins
I was born and raised in Addis Ababa. As a child, my grandfather took me to Lalibela for the first time. Standing inside Bete Giyorgis — a church carved into the earth 900 years ago — I understood that Ethiopia carries a story the world has barely begun to hear.
That is why I started Origin Abyssinia. Not to run tours — but to share the Ethiopia I know. The one behind the UNESCO plaques. Where priests still chant at dawn in rock-hewn churches, where Afar guides know the lava lakes like their backyard, where a coffee ceremony in a village tells you more about this country than any museum ever could.
Every tour we take is the best . Every itinerary is designed for you specifically. We do not rush. We do not perform. We show you the real thing.
"Ethiopia is not a place you simply visit. It is a story you step into — and once you do, it stays with you forever."
