Far from the trodden path, Ethiopia is the perfect destination for the curious traveller. One of Africa’s least known yet most enriching destinations, a tailormade holiday to Ethiopia offers a truly authentic experience as you immerse yourself in tribal rhythms and bear witness to ancient rituals that time forgot. As spiritual as it is evolutionary, set foot here and embrace a world few others are yet to see.
Where the ancient Blue Nile begins its life; where the great green gorges of ancient Abyssinia rear and plummet; and where the rock-cut churches of Lalibela nest within the earth. This is Ethiopia, a country of dramatic landscape, Italian colonial architecture mixed with traditional stone carvings, and thriving culture. Ruled from 1270 until 1974 by the long-living Solomonic dynasty, modern Ethiopia is a true collage of historical influence and outward-looking modernism. It is a luxury holiday like no other.
A LUXURY TOUR FROM ADDIS ABABA TO LALIBELA
One of the best ways to drink in Ethiopia’s startling culture is to join a private tour of its exceptional architectural legacy – from the seemingly impossible rock-cut churches of Lalibela (carved, as if by negative, from the raw stone itself), to the famous Lion of Judah in the country’s capital of Addis Ababa, which was built by the French Railway company in 1917 after completing a railway linking this land-locked country to an ocean port in Djibouti.
