Travel to Ethiopia and you will step into two worlds.  Modern Addis Ababa where the country rushes headlong into the future.  Outside of the capital you feel like you step into a forgotten world - one where you engage in time travel.  Journey with us to the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela and the spectacular Gheralta Mountains, visit Axum, erstwhile capital of the Axumite empire and rumoured resting place of the Ark of the Covenant and to Gondar, the royal capital of Ethiopia.  At the close of your private journey to Ethiopia we take you to the island monasteries of Lake Tana and the majestic Blue Nile Falls.
As with all our private tours, this sample itinerary can be completely tailored to create the perfect journey of discovery for you.
