Ethiopia has emerged as Africa's most popular and appealing travel destination. This is not surprising given the stunning mountains Simien and Bale, the breathtaking volcanic landscapes of the Danakil Depression, and the abundance of unique mammals and birds that are unique to the world, so it's no surprise that Ethiopia has emerged as Africa's most alluring and well-liked tourist destination.
Ethiopia has an intriguing and mysterious recorded history that stretches back 3,000 years, to the time of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheb.
With over 50 endemic species of birds and mammals, including the magnificent Ruspoli turacy bird and the iconic Ethiopian wolf, Ethiopia boasts a diverse flora and fauna that reflects its rich biodiversity.
A vibrant arts and craft scene, an ancient coffee culture, and a distinctive musical and culinary legacy guarantee that curious tourists will find much to enjoy about Ethiopian life.
