Ethiopia

Ethiopia is home to some of Africa's most stunning landscapes, from lush highlands and spectacular canyons to high plateaus and wildlife-rich savannah. We head to UNESCO-listed Simien Mountain National Park for an epic lodge-to-lodge hike along rugged escarpments and through deep valleys - terrain that is home to rare wildlife such as the Gelada baboon, Simien fox and Walia ibex, found nowhere else in the world. As you journey through Ethiopia, you'll also discover its ancient past as a "cradle of humanity" and be amazed by the castles of Gondar and Lalibela's rock-hewn churches.
