An ancient land of stunning sceneries, fascinating cultures and first-rate historic sites, Ethiopia numbers among Africa’s most rewarding tour destinations.
As we learn about the country’s long history with visits to castles built by various emperors over a 236-year timeframe, 11th century rock-hewn churches, pre-Christian buildings, ancient monuments and royal palaces, we travel through stunning sceneries of mist-shrouded mountain peaks and idyllic cascading waterfalls.
Our cultural exploration of this special destination includes spending time in villages isolated from the rest of the world in which fisherman still use papyrus boats, in local marketplaces where Ari women wear traditional skirts made of tree twigs and at tribal gatherings wherein stick-fighting contests, elaborate dress, lip plates and earlobe discs are commonplace.
Public transportation options are available nearby. Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. Suitable for all physical fitness levels
