Agelgil Tour and Travel is dedicated to unlocking Ethiopia’s rich and untapped tourism potential. While Ethiopia boasts 11 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a wealth of cultural and natural wonders, much of its story remains underexplored. Our mission is to change that by offering immersive, authentic, and respectful travel experiences that reveal the heart of the nation.

The company was founded by Mr. Nega, a highly experienced tourism professional born and raised in the holy town of Lalibela—home to the world-renowned rock-hewn churches and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After completing his education in Lalibela, he moved to Addis Ababa and studied at the Catering and Tourism Training Institute (CTTI).
