About Us
Our Story
13 Suns Tour
The company is named after the thirteen months of sunshine the country enjoys. Ethiopia is one of the few countries of the world which possesses its own calendar.
The Ethiopian calendar is composed of twelve months, having thirty days each, and a final month called “Pagume”, with 5 or 6 days to compensate for the deficit. The calendar counts its new year from September and is behind the Gregorian calendar by 7 or 8 years.
Our People
The Management
13 Suns Tours is managed by a board of six members, all of whom are professionals and experienced in the field of tourism. The staff possesses practical knowledge in tour operations, which enables them to communicate with customers, design attractive tour programs at a reasonable price, and organize the whole tour process. They are also trained in professional guiding and have sufficient field experience. They speak English, French & Italian. There are also part-time staff who speak German and Spanish. They have all worked with tourists in different parts of Ethiopia, so they know how to handle their clients.
Our drivers can communicate in English. They have sufficient field training to enable them to be both drivers and guides, and are preferred by tourists who want a driver-guide. When they drive our land cruisers and buses, their experience can be noticed within a few hours of driving. While camping, we have cooks who will serve you hotel-standard meals, both local and European. We say “come to Ethiopia!” — we can assure you of quality service. In the hands of our staff, you are just “home away from home!”
