Why Walia?

Because We're Locals
Walia was founded by John Riley and Sintayehu Zerabruk, after the two men met as employees working for an Ethiopian tour company in Addis Ababa. Their years of experience and knowledge work to give you great insightful trips, resulting in Ethiopia vacations filled with memorable encounters and great access to culture and people. A whole new world of food, wildlife, and fun is waiting for you in this proud country with a fascinating ancient history.
