Ground Operations
You bring the traveller. We handle the ground.
Local ground operations in Ethiopia for international tour operators, travel advisors, specialist agencies and travel designers.
One local partner
One responsible contact, one team on the ground
Instead of an overseas agency coordinating five different Ethiopian suppliers, Afar Horizon acts as your local operational partner. You stay close to your client; we stay close to the operation.
We specialise in the Danakil, Afar and northern Ethiopia, where remote routes, heat and changing access make local knowledge part of the product.
