On this journey we explore the most interesting parts of the country, starting with the north where we visit Lalibela and its impressive rock hwn churches, the castles of Gonder, the Simien Mountains, which are unique in Africa for both plant life and wildlife, not to mention their extraordinary beauty. Then we travel to the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia, which is home to tribal people who live much as they did 100 years ago, painting and scarifying their bodies and making their homes in villages that have very few of the items of the modern world most of us take for granted. Enjoy exploring this amazing country in the company of our expert guides who will let you experience Ethiopia in a way that is both eye opening and a lot of fun.
