Wonderfully Historic Ethiopian Tours
WONDERFULLY HISTORIC ETHIOPIAN TOURS
Ethiopia is a country with much in the way of culture, tradition, and of course history.
Head to Ethiopia to explore the ancient side of Africa and see Africa as it was before the time of Christ, and then more recently during the 800-year long Ethiopian Empire, known as Abyssinia. Much of what was built here has been forgotten, but it can make for a fascinating trip for the adventurous traveler.
WHERE TO GO IN ETHIOPIA
As always, the destinations in Ethiopia that we suggest visiting depend on how much time you have available. In general, with the time available to most of our guests, we start off in the northern part of the country, and suggest visits to the Simien Mountains and the rock-hewn Churches of Lalibela, which date back to around the 12th and 13th centuries. From there, head up to Gondar and then Axum to see the ancient ruins of Axum, which mark the location of the heart of ancient Ethiopia. Both the churches of Lalibela and the ruins at Axum are today recognized as UNESCO world heritage sites.
