Rooted in Ethiopia, built for travelers
We're a local team that knows the roads, the routes, and the people who make every trip memorable.
Reliable vehicles, honest service
Trails of Ethiopia began with a simple idea: travelers exploring Ethiopia deserve vehicles they can trust and a team that treats their journey like it's our own. What started as a small circle of vetted local drivers and owners in Addis Ababa has grown into a nationwide network of economy, SUV, 4x4, van, and luxury vehicles, each one inspected before it's allowed on our platform.
We built our booking process around the questions travelers actually ask: is the car reliable, is the price honest, and will someone answer the phone if something goes wrong on the road? Every part of Trails of Ethiopia, from our vehicle review process to our support line, is designed to answer "yes" to all three.
Whether you're navigating Addis Ababa's streets, heading to the Simien Mountains, or planning a multi-city tour through Lalibela and Bahir Dar, our team handles the logistics so you can focus on the experience, not the paperwork.
