Ancient Soul

A Journey Through Thirteen Months of Sunshine

Ethiopia is unlike any other place on Earth. It is a land where ancient traditions remain vibrant, where history is lived daily, and where the landscapes range from the surreal Dallol depression to the lush Simien Mountains.

As the only African nation never colonized, Ethiopia has preserved its unique cultural identity, from the rock hewn churches of Lalibela to the ancient Islamic city of Harar.

Wild & Untamed

Ethiopia's varied geography has created high levels of endemism. From the Ethiopian Wolf of the Bale Mountains to the Gelada Baboons of the Simien range, nature lovers will find a world of unique species.
