1. Security and reliability for Africorne Travel, travel agency in Djibouti and Ethiopia

You like adventure but not misadventures... Africorne Travel is a French company registered in ATOUT FRANCE under the number IM 974 20 0002. ATOUT FRANCE is an operator of the French state which selects tourism professionals who meet not only the conditions of professional civil liability inherent to any activity, but also those of financial guarantees specific to travel agencies. For Africorne Travel, the organization providing this guarantee is the APST (Association Professionnelle de Solidarité du Tourisme).

You may not necessarily think about it, but it is better to check that your agency or operator has taken the necessary steps to provide you with the guarantee in question, if applicable. The list of companies registered with ATOUT France can be consulted on the internet at this link.

This has two important benefits for Africorne Travel travellers:

  • a pledge of seriousness, with the assurance that all contractual services set out in the programme of your trip will be carried out;

The head of Africorne Travel, himself attracted by what is “different”, is constantly searching for astonishment, discovery and true relationships based on sharing and sharing moments of conviviality with those who live in these countries.

  3. Good morning,

    I am looking for package deals however with Covid I worry for Quarantine time this means I lose on stay time during vacation.

    So I had one option: to go to Addis. The second would be Dubia however what I could find online is very expensive for Dubai and my wife is ethiopia so will need a visa too. Dates of travel would be leave Djibouti 16 December return 27 or 28 December.
    I also looked into Istanbul but Covid is high there and Tunis too.
    Kindly advise please

    Thanking you in advance
