Destinations - Ethiopia

Ethiopia 'the land of a thousand smiles', where you are assured of a warm welcome, a memorable holiday, and the experience of a lifetime. It is a land of contrasts and surprises, enchantment and wonder, remote and wild places, and a rich history. It is the home of friendly, cultured people descended from some of the world's oldest civilizations. This is the home of the Ark of the Covenant and the fabled Queen of Sheba and the birthplace of coffee.

Ethiopia features some of the highest and most stunning places on the African continent, such as the jaggedly carved Simien Mountains, and some of the lowest, such as the sulphur fumaroles and lunar-like landscape of the Danakil Depression. It is also one of Africa's greatest cultural destinations, with no fewer than 10 UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the mystical rock-hewn churches of Lalibela. There is just so much to see and do in Ethiopia that you will be spoilt for choice.
