Ethiopia: An Abundance of Culture

Ethiopia is an ancient and spectacular country, twice the size of Texas, home to more than 60 million people, and now landlocked in the Northeast horn of Africa. Here you will travel back in time to the New Testament itself, as the ancient Coptic Christian religion here is unchanged since 300 A.D., and the people and the scenery reflect that fact today. Majestic fertile highlands in the North drop away to semi-desert areas in the South, which in turn are home to some of the last truly remote and unchanged tribes in Africa. Whilst wildlife is plentiful, this is a country for visiting the peoples and learning about their unique cultures.

Highlights: The Ethiopian people rank as one of the most beautiful on earth, their proud features catch worldwide attention. Throughout the Northern religious towns of Axum, Lalibela, and Gondar, one is consistently amazed to find so many differing examples of a proud and unerring faith.

As one reaches the Southern arid and remote areas, you come across animist tribes who have little contact with the Western world until recently, and things now are changing very fast!
