BETSEGA is choosing with much care the hotels where you will stay. Still, you have to be aware about the fact that the hotel categories are not to be compared with the european ones, and that you might be confronted with small problems such as: electricity or water shortage, running or leaking taps, not quite closing drawers or windows etc. Please, remember where you are and that the next big city can be some hundreds of kilometers away… and just take it easy!

Our prices include all the costs of the concerned tour, this means the car, the driver, full board and lodging, drinks during the meals (with exception of the imported alcoholic beverages),local guides who are sometimes compulsory, entries to the visited sites, boat tours etc. The prices DO NOT include the flight ticket to Addis, passport and visa fees, travel insurance, and also not the personal expenses such as gifts or handicrafts, and small tips for the local guides if you have been satisfied with them…

BETSEGA wants to promote high quality and responsible tourism, respecting the local population, its habits and traditions, as it is our goal to make you discover them, share with them, but certainly NOT shock them… Therefore, our groups will ideally be composed of 6 to 8/10 persons maximum.

For the same reason, Betsega will propose you two preparation meetings before each trip: during the first meeting, information will be given to you concerning the trip you are interested in, so that you can check on your choice, and also on the way trips are organised: number of participants, type of hotels, possibility to visit this particular project of interest, support of BETSEGA to our projects, timing of the tour etc. It will be possible for you to ask all and any question you would like to… The second meeeting, will take place closer to your departure and will offer you the possibility to meet the other participants in your tour, to get in touch with them, to share on commun interests… You will also receive all the practical informations concerning your travel, such as: visa, injections, what to take along etc.

For each proposal, you will find two prices: the price for «accompanied groups», for the groups of 6 participants minimum, which means you will be accompanied from Europe throughout the whole tour by a person speaking English, German and French and having a very good knowledge of Ethiopia.

The second price is the price for »NON accompanied tours», especially for smaller groups of four participants, as the price for the accompanying person has to be shared by the number of participants and would just be too high for small groups who already have to share the car, the driver and his costs for food and lodging. Of course, we can make an individual proposal in case you are a smaller group (less than 4 persons) or/and you feel that you would like to be accompanied: just contact us!

You will find, for each proposed tour, a reduction for children of less than 10 years of age sharing the room of their parents. Please, in this case, be careful about the choice of the tour, as some of them request long car trips, many visits etc. and might not be convenient for young children. Take a look to our «special families» proposals, which have been established by taking into consideration the presence of children and their specific interests…

Please, NOTE: The prices have been established according to a double room occupation, either with one big double bed or with twin beds. If you are alone and you need a single room, you will be charged a supplement of 10 euros per day, as single rooms most of the time are just as costy as double rooms!
