Travel to Ethiopia, a land where legend and history remain deeply entwined. Known for much of modern history as 'Abyssinia', and populated by a proud and elegant people, Ethiopia is perched high on the Horn of Africa-a highland plateau north of Kenya. In this isolated corner of Africa, a deeply distinctive society has developed in terms of dress, custom, languages and religion. Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian nations on earth, with rituals pre-dating Christianity. Bestowed with all of the characteristics adventurers seek, Ethiopia offers rich history and vibrant culture; the beauty of lakes, rivers and mountain peaks; and the serenity of few other travelers. Explore the subterranean churches of Lalibela as priests thoughtfully prepare their chants and pilgrims come to pray. Spend time wandering among towering stelae in Axum, contemplating the significance of this once great kingdom. Welcoming and warm, the Ethiopians are eager to share their country, their treasures and their lives. Join us as we tour Ethiopia, discovering the mystery of this remote corner of Africa.
