From the lava lakes of the Danakil to the monumental standing stellae of Tigray and on to the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia’s natural and cultural highlights are unmatched in their diversity and authenticity. A land of many habitats, the country is also home to a number of rare and endemic species found nowhere else, such as the elusive Ethiopian Wolf and the majestic Walia Ibex. For travellers wishing to experience a safari that surpasses any other in terms of the sheer number of species of large and small game, the country presents a unique opportunity. 

Adding to these highlights are Ethiopia’s renowned gastronomic delights. As the source of the coffee bean, no coffee lover could pass up the opportunity to experience the sublime taste of some of the world’s rarest and finest, or enjoy the traditional coffee ceremony. With a total of nine UNESCO World Heritage sights, a wealth of diverse experiences await those who seek splendour, wilderness and culture.
