Ride the Rift Cycling Adventures
RIDE THE RIFT was a collaborative response to the Corona pandemic by SimienEcoTours and three other tour companies to re-energize the tourism sector. Five individuals from our companies have pioneered Ride the Rift: Mark Chapman of Tesfa Tours; Marco Degasper and Christian Sefrin of SimienEcoTours; Bogale Abiy of Dynasty Ethiopia Tours; and Richard Nerurkar of Ethio Cycling Holidays.
We pooled our skills in community tourism, outdoor & cycling holidays and the outcome are amazing tours to new destinations in Ethiopia that offer opportunities to experience the beauty of these places while participating in cycling, running and hiking activities.
Our tours offer support and fundraising for individual freelance tourism service providers who had been deprived of an income since the start of the pandemic.
