Ethiopia: Land Of Legends

Our journey through the mysterious, diverse and scenic lands of Ethiopia introduces you to perhaps the world's most distinctive culture. We explore the island monasteries of Lake Tana, castles of Gondar, breathtaking peaks of the Simien Mountains, rock-hewn churches of Lalibela and the ancient sites of Axum. Experienced guides accompany us as we discover the long history of the oldest Christian nation through sightseeing and interacting with the Ethiopian and Eritrean natives. We'll dine on local cuisine, sip Ethiopia's finest coffees, and travel in comfort by private vehicles and domestic flights.
