A beginner’s guide to Ethiopia
27 October 2023
A landlocked nation in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia combines its phenomenally long heritage with a dramatic landscape, rivalled by so few other places in the world. Adventurers, nature-lovers and authenticity-seekers will find few better options than this: soak up thousands of years worth of recorded history, journey from desert sands to highlands in one fell swoop, and get your hands on some of the most flavourful cuisine you’ll ever taste – always capped off, of course, with a traditional cup of Ethiopian coffee.
We’re here in Ethiopia ready to plan your trip with you, just the way you like it.
Our local experts in Ethiopia are ready to help plan your perfect itinerary. Tailor-made, made easy.
