Escarpment lodges
Simien and Bale, with fires lit before you arrive.
Our Story
Built on the ground we travel
Beyond Destination began in Addis Ababa with a simple frustration: this country deserved better than a rushed itinerary and a tired minibus.
We are planners, guides and drivers. Between us we have walked the Simien escarpment more times than we can count, sat through more coffee ceremonies than is medically advisable, and learned exactly which lodge looks better in photographs than in person. We arrange travel within Ethiopia and internationally, and what stays constant is the standard, and the fact that a real person answers the phone while you are travelling.
