A land of stunning natural beauty, warm people and a mosaic of different cultures, Ethiopia, land of the Queen of Sheba, the birthplace of the Blue Nile and the 'cradle of mankind' is an exciting destination. The only country in Africa that has never been colonised, Ethiopia has glorious tradition of fighting for its independence despite being famine stricken and severely underdeveloped.
With rugged mountains, broad savannah, lakes, rivers and 14 major wildlife reserves, Ethiopia provides a microcosm of the entire sub-Saharan ecosystem. Visit Lalibela to see its amazing 12th-century rock churches, hewn straight out of the bedrock. All 11 rock churches were built within a century and worth seeing is the Asheton Maryam Monastery.
