Discover Eritrea

Eritrea has been lazily described as Africa’s North Korea. It isn’t.

Though suffering a dearth of political freedoms that once seemed so precious at independence, there’s more to this proud nation state than the paranoid isolationism of its current leadership. The colonial architectural and cultural legacy embodied in Asmara is fascinating to experience, as is the jarringly different feel of Keren which these days owes more to Sudan than to Italy.

In Massawa, through its access to the Red Sea, lies the future for Eritrea. Though clothed in stifling humidity and embodied by languid decay, right now the future can seem more distant each day. While acknowledging their debt to the heroes of the War of Independence younger Eritreans are hungry for change. Rapprochement with Ethiopia leading to the official end of conflict has started the process.

Feedback from our Travellers

Many thanks to the guys in the office for their help in dealing with this at times very complicated series of trips. Guide in Eritrea Thomas Tedros was excellent. Great trip, thoroughly enjoyed it. This country also has good potential for walking trips (maybe also with camels). maybe could be extended to the Dahlak isnads for a day or two as an option.

Traveller from UK
Asmara simply wonderful from an architecture perspective, local reps v helpful, knowledgeable, exceptionally good English and understanding of what we each wanted. Extra guided days in Asmara very enjoyable.

Traveller from UK
Outstanding level of support in the visa process, and 1st hand local knowledge. Always ready to adapt the day to the group[me] wishes eg visiting the shrine in the Massawa port. UK.

Best Time to Visit

The best times to visit Eritrea are in the spring and autumn. In the summer all parts, but especially the Red Seat coast, can be extremely hot. In the winter the highlands can be a little cool.
