Diaspora

Diaspora travel: home to Addis and onward

For the Ethiopian diaspora in Europe and beyond: flights home to Addis Ababa, family time, tours in Ethiopia, and onward trips to Europe, Thailand, or Tanzania in one plan.

One trip, planned from both ends

Many diaspora trips have two parts: time with family in Addis Ababa, then a holiday: Lalibela or the Simien Mountains, Zanzibar, Thailand, or a European city with the family.

Vejtani plans both parts together: the flight to Addis Ababa, the dates at home, and the onward trip, so the connections and visas fit.

Peak seasons

Christmas (Genna, 7 January), Timkat in January, Ethiopian New Year (Enkutatash, September), and the European summer are the busiest times to fly home. Book flights early for these dates.

Family members travelling with you

If relatives in Ethiopia are joining a trip to Europe, their Schengen visa needs its own file and appointment in Addis Ababa. Start that first, because it usually takes the longest.

We prepare a single itinerary that works for everyone's documents.

Questions travellers ask

Can Vejtani plan a trip home to Ethiopia and a holiday afterwards?

Yes. We book the flight to Addis Ababa and plan the onward holiday (in Ethiopia, Europe, Tanzania, or Thailand) as one itinerary.

Can my family in Ethiopia travel to Europe with me?

Often yes, but they need their own Schengen visa from Addis Ababa. Start their application first; we prepare an itinerary that fits both families' documents.
