About us

In occasion of the opening of our web site, we take this moment to invite agencies and tourists from all over Italy and throughout the world to visit Ethiopia, a country still little-known and as of yet untouched by mass tourism, but which hides historical and natural treasures of immeasurable value. We pride ourselves on the fact that our company has always worked to guarantee the satisfaction of its clients despite the material obstacles which may be encountered along the way.

Ethiopia is considered a “young” country, as far as the tourism sector is concerned, but its natural beauty, the cultural and historical treasures it contains combined with the professional attention we dedicate to working out the smallest details of our tours and travel packages guarantee success and efficiency and above all the satisfaction of visitors.

Lake Tana Tour is managed by an Ethiopian tour operator with long-standing experience in the field (he began working as a tour guide in 1997, and in recent years he has organized naturalistic and historical tours particularly along not frequently traveled routes). The company is coordinated by an Italian lady who lives in, knows well and has been deeply passionate about this country for many years. She is well aware of the needs of Western tourists, who, although deliberately choosing Africa as their destination, are not willing to do without comfort and quality service.

The remaining staff is made up of graduates from the Italian School in Addis Ababa, experienced guides and drivers who are capable of speaking various languages including, Italian, English, French, Spanish and Arab.

It is our habit to closely follow our groups and when specifically requested or in the case of particularly arduous trekking and rafting tours, visits to the national parks or the Omo river, we personally accompany our tourists.

We hope that you have found our site’s informational material interesting and stimulating. As always we are completely at your disposition for any further details you might require and we look forward to seeing you soon in Ethiopia.

Lake Tana Tour (LTT) is your guide throughout Ethiopia. We’ve chosen to name ourselves after the country’s biggest lake and we have been hosting visitors to Ethiopia for many years. LTT is especially attentive to Ethiopia’s ancient cultural heritage and to the conservation of its environment as well as its historical and architectural inheritance. To this aim one of our principal goals is that of creating and fostering awareness of these issues through the organization of tours and excursions that respect Ethiopia’s customs and the local traditions of its people. We also work as a handling agent for humanitarian relief organizations based in Ethiopia. Our company is managed by experienced Ethiopian and European tourism operators. We are considered to be one of the most professional, proactive and modern tour operators in the country by major tour operators and travel agencies in Europe, America and the Middle East. We organize tours and programs with the greatest care and we make every effort to offer extremely high quality service and to ensure the full satisfaction of the guests. We can formulate personalized itineraries to suit every kind of need and request.
