VISIT

Ethiopia is a country with a distinct history and culture. The country offers many attractions for travellers-including cultural, wildlife and food experiences. Visit Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, where you can explore the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Addis Mercato Market, Mount Entoto and the National Museum of Ethiopia. Or snap a selfie at the Blue Nile Falls or wander into Simien Mountains National Park. Also, include Bahir Dar and Gondar in your itinerary.

Spend a day exploring the food scene. Ethiopians love coffee, the country’s national drink. Coffee drinking is a ritual for locals that can take up to an hour, so ask your tour guide to include that experience in your travel schedule.

Try the Dabo Kolo, an Ethiopian snack prepared with roasted barley, chickpeas and peanuts. You will find it at most street vendors and kiosks.
