Locally based
Our operating home is Semera, not a distant sales office.
Born in Afar
Hospitality became
a way to explore.
Ruftana Travel & Tours grew from a simple advantage: the strongest journeys begin with a reliable local base.
Ruftana Hotel was established in Semera to offer comfortable, dependable hospitality in the capital of the Afar Region. Ruftana Travel & Tours extends that same responsibility beyond the hotel doors.
Our main office is at Ruftana Hotel. Guides, drivers, hotel teams and travel coordinators work around one guest journey—from the airport and pre-trip briefing to the field and the final return to Semera.
An Addis Ababa representative office at Ruftana Building, Gazebo Square, Bole Sub City supports planning before guests reach Afar.
We do not simply send travelers into Afar. We welcome them, prepare them and receive them again.
Hotel backed
Rooms, meals, briefings, luggage and airport coordination are within the same Ruftana family.
Condition aware
Remote travel requires honest briefings, flexible routes and respect for current direction.
Human in scale
We design around actual guests, groups, interests and experience.
