A little introduction

Our story

Yared Tour & Travel was founded in 2004 by Alay Hagos and Saskia Hagos-Damen. They meet when Alay (born and raised in Ethiopia) came to the Netherlands in 1987 as a refugee. They married in 1989 and moved to Ethiopia in 1998, where they decided to share their enthusiasm for the beautiful nature, culture and history through special journeys. Since the early days, Yared Tour & Travel became the market leader for Ethiopia tours in the Netherlands and Belgium. In July 2017, Getinet Seyoum and Saskia Zloezeman who live in Addis Ababa with their two children, took over the organisation and have been since running tours and developing community tourism in Ethiopia with the team in Ethiopia and the Netherlands. In 2020 the organization expanded to Djibouti and Kenya.
