At Aman Ethiopia Tours & Travel, transparency and guest safety are at the heart of everything we do. We believe it is our responsibility to provide clear, honest, and up-to-date travel advice so our guests can make informed decisions when planning their journeys in Ethiopia.
Current Situation in Tigray
As of February 2026, travel to the Tigray region continues to face significant limitations. Ethiopian Airlines’ domestic flights to key destinations including Axum, Mekelle and Shire are not operating on a regular and reliable basis. In addition, ongoing safety and operational challenges remain in parts of the region affecting overall travel conditions.

For those planning a visit, here are some essential Travel Tips for Tigray to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
For travelers seeking insights, our Travel Tips for Tigray will help you navigate the challenges and make the most of your visit.
Due to these factors, Aman Ethiopia Tours & Travel is currently not operating any tours to the Tigray region. We will only resume Tigray programs once Ethiopian Airlines officially restarts consistent and dependable domestic flight services and when safety conditions on the ground clearly improve. This decision has been made purely in the interest of traveler safety, comfort and responsible tourism.
Why Flight Operations Are Essential
Domestic flight operations play a critical role in safe and efficient travel within Ethiopia. When flights are suspended, alternative road routes can be extremely long, unpredictable and in some cases unsafe. For this reason, we do not support or promote unofficial or risky overland routes into sensitive areas. While some operators may continue advertising Tigray tours despite these limitations, we choose a responsible approach based on real operational conditions rather than marketing promises.
Online Information and Embassy Advisories
We understand that travelers may encounter mixed or conflicting information online or through embassy advisories. Situations can change quickly, and not all sources reflect current realities on the ground. This is why we prioritize direct and honest communication with our guests, relying on verified Ethiopian Airlines updates and local assessments.
Looking ahead, our team continues to closely monitor Ethiopian Airlines flight operations, regional safety developments and official travel and operational updates. Once flights resume and conditions stabilize, we will confidently reintroduce our Tigray cultural and historical itineraries, including Axum and its remarkable ancient heritage.
In the meantime, Ethiopia offers many safe and rewarding travel experiences. We are pleased to recommend well-operated alternatives such as Lalibela, the Danakil Depression, the Simien Mountains and other regions that are currently open and accessible to travelers.
Important Advice to Travelers
We strongly advise travelers to remain cautious of unusually low-priced tour offers and companies promoting unsafe routes. Unfortunately, misleading promotions and fake reviews have become more common. Choosing a licensed, experienced and transparent tour operator that prioritizes safety over shortcuts is essential.
