Tesfa Tours is a community-based trekking and tour operator in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We were set up in 2010 to carry on the community tourism developed under Mark Chapman's guidance since 1999. Our treks are hosted by more than 20 village communities in the Lalibela (Wollo) and Tigray highlands: guests sleep in community-owned guesthouses, eat food cooked by local hosts, and the income stays in the village. We also run tailor-made tours across Ethiopia, from the Simien and Bale Mountains to the Omo Valley.
Explore the wide variety of packages we offer, each thoughtfully designed to suit different needs and preferences.
Tesfa (ተስፋ), meaning hope in Amharic, guides everything we do. More than words, our beliefs shape journeys rooted in sustainability, authenticity, and meaningful experiences that truly matter.
