Days 1 & 2: Transit through the unexploited lands of Northern Kenya which offer the most beautiful and scenic part of this country. The vast unoccupied land makes you realize just how big Kenya is. On the way we pass the Buffallo Springs, Shaba, Losai and Samburu, National reserves as well as Marsabit National park. Our first night is spent camping. Further north we drive through the inhospitable and unforgiving Dida Galgallo desert that was for many years a treacherous stretch to the overland travelers between Cairo and Nairobi before the road was tarmacked. Leaving the semi arid northern Kenya we drive up the Moyale hills and cross into Ethiopia driving through the panoramic Oromia region after which we start climbing to higher altitude before eventually arriving at the vibrant countryside town of Hagere Maryam (St.Mary) where we put up for the night at our hotel and get our first experience of an Ethiopian night experience.
Days 3&4: Today we drive further north through Yirgachefe town which is home to the World’s best coffee and we have a special Ethiopian coffee break here with an opportunity to buy coffee beans. Their coffee is so popular that even in the US some restaurants have Yirgachefe Coffee on their menu, and may restaurant chains including starbucks source their coffee from Yirgachefe. The coffee here is also used to blend other coffee from the rest of the world. We also have an opportunity to have local interaction with the Gedo people living around here before we drive through the cosmopolitan town of Dilla and later arriving at Awassa. Awassa or Hawassa is home to Lake Awassa and is the biggest city south of Addis. A very welcoming city with beautiful Ethiopian people who are friendly to visitors and you can enjoy a walk in the city and do little shoppings as well as a walk along the paved walkways of Lake Awassa shores. We also have a boat ride excursion here as an optional activity, where you’ll see the beauty of Awassa from the lake as well as assorted water birds and hippos during the ride. Later in the evening, the Awassa nightlife awaits you, we will go out and have some fun and at our own time come back to the circle of Life hotel with has a nature theme making it a special place for the nature lovers.
Day 5: Today is CORONATION DAY in Shashamene, with visitors from all over the world especially Rastafarians coming to celebrate the day of the crowning of H.I.M Haile Sellassie as Emperor of Ethiopia in 1930. Just 28 Kms north of Awassa we arrive at the vibrant Shashemene town, home to the repatriated Rastafarian community mainly from the Caribbean islands, USA and the UK. The 1955 Land grant by His Imperial Majesty Haile Sellassie 1 was given to the Ethiopian World Federation (EWF) offering 500 Hectares of land for those Black people who wish to come back home to Africa and settle back. The EWF formed in New York by black people in Diasporas had been a fundraiser organization for Haile Sellassie’s war against the Italian invasion. Here in Shashamene Jambo African Adventures enjoys a special and exclusive hosting by the EWF into the community, allowing us to have some very special access and interactions with the people. For this reason, we will be officially received by the President of the Ethiopian World Federation, Ras Reuben Kush who will ensure that our activities here are successful. We will learn a lot of exclusive African history and get to demystify the Rastafarians and understand their lifestyle, culture and faith. We will also have a special visit to the home of Teddy Dan and his private art gallery, an international Reggae artiste and friend who repatriated back to Africa and lives in Shashamane. Teddy Dan’s most popular song is “United States of Africa” and he also runs a local children’s sports foundation that we will also visit. Our Ethiopian guide, Biruk will also arrange for a family meal at his parent’s house in the outskirts of the city so we can get the real local experience.
We also have an included bathing opportunity at the healing Wondo Genet natural hot springs where the locals come for therapeutic and healing powers of the natural springs. In addition, there is also a swimming pool with hot water from the springs where you can enjoy a swimming session. We sleep at the Haile hotel in centre of the CBD and enjoy the various nightlife spots around.
Days 6-8: Leaving Shashemene we drive 250kms to Addis, with the last 60 kms of a toll gated Expressway that is the only real highway in East Africa with no speed humps, Zebra crossings or animals on the road. We therefore have a very fast and comfy drive on this stretch to Addis where we will enjoy traditional song and dance as well as the nightclubs. During the day we have historical city tour to Menelik Museum, Haile Sellassie Mueseum, Lion of Judah Monument among others and also time to do some shopping. We have 3 days here to enjoy Ethiopian hospitality. If you decide to extend your stay in Addis and fly back to Nairobi, this can also be arranged.
Days 9: We leave Addis and start our transit journey back with an optional night at Awassa for the second time or the town of Southern City of Dilla.
Days 10 & 11: From Dilla through to Yirgachefe where we will visit a coffee farm, we drive south to the town of Yebello, lying on the route to Omo valley where we have a cultural tourism circuit. From Yebello we have a drive to Marsabit .
Day 12: On this final day we have a transit drive back to Nairobi arriving late evening with lots of memories and Ethiopian Lifetime experiences.

Sigd (Meaning to Bow Down) is an Ethiopian Jewish tradition celebrated by the Beta Israel tribe in Ethiopia and Israel that commemorates the first time G-d reveals himself to Moses. Like Yom Kippur, Ethiopian Jews fast on this holiday and then end with a party like none other! Ethiopian Cuisine is a style of cookery that has combined the best principles of the Arab kitchen with the use of classic African ingredients, such as peanuts, bananas, rice, coconuts, spinach, corn and beans….etc. We are excited to offer a wide range of traditional dishes from the Beta Israel tribe and hope you will join us in this beautiful Break Fast festival! There will be vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.
Come out to Wheaton Regional Park for TASSC’s first annual Run for Strength, a 5k run and 1 mile walk to support the Torture Abolition and Survivor Support Coalition (TASSC) International. Meet and run with TASSC staff, supporters and survivors, including elite Ethiopian runners who were forced to flee their home countries after being persecuted by the government. Festivities, refreshments, music, and mingling will immediately follow the run. If you can’t make the run and you still want to support TASSC, feel free to sign up as a virtual runner, donate directly on our website (tassc.org/donate), or join us for the post-run celebration!
Proceeds from Run for Strength will benefit the survivors of torture TASSC serves each year.

TASSC currently provides holistic services to 330 survivors annually, fulfilling its mission to end the practice of torture wherever it occurs and to support survivors as they empower themselves, their families and communities wherever they are. Since 1998, TASSC has helped over 7,000 survivors rebuild their lives through in-house, holistic, comprehensive and trauma-informed services.
Please join us on December 4th for our first ever Run for Strength! If you have any questions, you can contact our Race Organizer at info@tassc.org
The theme for the 2016 African Economic Conference (AEC) is “Feeding Africa: Towards Agro-Allied Industrialization for Inclusive Growth”. This theme is timely and in line with the current African and international development agenda. Ending poverty and overcoming hunger and food insecurity permanently come first and second, respectively, in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) endorsed in September 2015 by UN member States. This commitment is also stressed by the African Union Agenda 2063 that recognizes the right of all Africans to be well-nourished and lead healthy and productive lives. Furthermore, the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP), as well as the June 2014 Malabo declaration, highlight that a structural transformation of African agriculture is central to growth and poverty eradication on the continent. Consistent with these goals, agriculture and industrialization are at the heart of the work by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and their vision and long-term strategy for a prospered and inclusive Africa.
