Experience the Wonders of Ethiopia

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against all travel to large areas of Ethiopia, including many destinations that were on the traditional tourist route. We will not plan an itinerary that includes those areas so a trip will mainly cover Addis Ababa and Harar.

A land of ancient history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, Ethiopia is a destination like no other. From the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela to the dramatic landscapes of the Simien Mountains, this East African gem offers an unforgettable journey through time and nature.

Addis Ababa, the country’s bustling capital, where you can visit the National Museum, home to the famous fossil Lucy, and explore the bustling Merkato, one of Africa’s largest markets.

The city of Harar, a maze of narrow alleyways, vibrant markets, and ancient mosques, Harar is Ethiopia’s most mystical city. Known as the "City of Saints," this UNESCO-listed gem is home to over 80 mosques and a unique blend of African, Islamic, and European influences. Don’t miss the legendary Hyena Feeding Ritual, a fascinating tradition unlike anywhere else in the world!

Discover the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, a UNESCO-listed wonder where centuries-old churches are carved directly into the rock. Explore the ancient city of Axum, once the heart of a great empire, and visit the towering obelisks that stand as a testament to Ethiopia’s rich past.

For nature lovers, the Simien Mountains offer spectacular hiking and the chance to see rare wildlife like the Gelada baboons. The breathtaking Blue Nile Falls near Bahir Dar is another must-see, offering stunning views of Ethiopia’s natural beauty.

With its rich history, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality, Ethiopia is a destination that captivates and inspires.
