An incredibly diverse country, Ethiopia is mysterious and full of adventure.

You’ll visit the source of the Blue Nile, see the skeleton of ‘Lucy’ and spend a night in the Simien Mountains. There is rare wildlife amidst high peaks, extraordinary rock-hewn churches and an incredible number of different ethnic groups in and around the Omo Valley.
