Ethiopia’s vast range of historic sites and natural beauty make this unique destination so fascinating. Marvel at the rock-hewn monolithic churches, grottoes and hidden crypts of Lalibela and medieval castles of Gondar, the most famous featuring a magnificent painted ceiling depicting angels. Visit Aksum, a once-great civilization revealed by the massive obelisks, ruined palaces and underground tombs. For nature and wildlife, trek in Simien Mountain National Park and enjoy a spectacular panoramic view from the peaks shared with the hundreds of baboons roaming the landscape.
