ETHIOPIA ECOTRAVEL TOUR AGENCY

WHO ARE WE? ETHIOPIA ECOTRAVEL TOUR AGENCY: FABULOUS SAFARIS ORGANIZED BY CONSERVATIONISTS OF THE ETHIOPIA NATIONAL PARKS SERVICE

Ethiopia Ecotravel

Our  is a highly professional Ethiopia Ecotravel Tour Agency is operated by Masters degrees and PhD academics, not just mere guides. We have traveled al remote corners. No other travel agency matches the knowledge and field experience that put together our Ethiopia Ecotravel Tours. There is not a single corner of Ethiopia that has not been explored by one of our conservation experts. This is not the case for other travel agencies in Ethiopia, who usually only know the beaten path. We know Ethiopia like nobody else in the world because we have been there for our research and expeditions. Based on that knowledge, we developed a variety of fantastic itineraries led by some of the best conservation professionals of the country, combining the famous culture of Ethiopia with its amazing nature. Let me present the team:

Dr. Ir. Daan Vreugdenhil, international conservationist

Dr. Daan Vreugdenhil, lifetime conservationist with a PhD in conservation ecology, lead a national study on the conservation status and wildlife distribution of the national parks of Ethiopia. A tireless traveler and explorer, over time, his passports accumulated entry stamps of more than 80 countries and usually his boots hit the trails of at least one, and often several national parks in each country he have visited. Two decades ago, he initiated an ecolodge in the Amazon in Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, Ecuador and a few years later he became part of the polar Plancius cruises. He now is full time involved in the development of national parks tours for many countries in the world, drawing on his vast knowledge of parks and travel in general. When initiating the National Parks tours worldwide, he only works with professionals with thorough field knowledge of national parks and nature. For Ethiopia, he is the general coordinator and advisor. When not traveling somewhere in this beautiful world, he is available on request for specialized Ethiopia tours and expeditions.

Hiking through the mountains is one of Daan Vreugdenhil's passions.

A renowned international national parks management expert and naturalist, Daan Vreugdenhil has been in national parks on all continents. He is behind each one of the national parks tours.

We invite you to join one of us on the best Ecotravel Tour you will find in Ethiopia.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Most of our hundreds of pictures are favored in Google! Why? Because no other website has so many beautiful high resolution pictures, all taken by ourselves. Our pictures not only show you the beauty of Ethiopia, but they also show that we have been everywhere when we researched all parks for the Ethiopian Wildlife Autharity, photographing wildlife, plants, people and culture. Read our PDF report to the Government on Parks an Culture! So why consider booking our our Ethiopia Culture & National Parks modules? Because only we combine the culture of Ethiopia with its nature. We don't mislead you like many tour operators do. When the Blue Nile falls are dry.... we tell you. When fog clouds the lava lake of Erte Ale Volcano? We let you know. Just drop us a mail info@nationalparks-worldwide.com  and we will check it out for you.

Our tours take you to ALL famous cultural places of Ethiopia, and on top of that, you get to see up to 20 large parks accompanied by a conservation professional, not a mere guide. There is nothing similar on the market. Check out our tours in modules like: Historical Circuit; Danakil Depression; Eastern Route; Simien Mountains; Bale Mountains; Southern Parks Safari; Gambella; Addis Ababa. BUT WAIT: if you buy your international ticket with Ethiopia Airlines, they will sell the internal flights at a price that you can't even ride the bus for. But you MUST plan it all in one package and making changes may be very costly. So let us help you plan your entire trip and book your local flights for an incredibly low price after you booked your international flight with Ethiopian Airlines! Also: Ethiopia can be combined with other East African countries, we organize.
