Package Overview

Ethiopia's Historic Route takes you through 3,000 years of civilization. Discover Lalibela's 11 rock-hewn churches, carved entirely from solid rock in the 12th century and still active places of worship - one of the world's greatest architectural marvels and UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit Axum, the ancient capital housing towering obelisks and claimed resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. Explore Gondar's royal castles, known as the "Camelot of Africa," with impressive 17th-century fortresses and stunning ceiling frescoes at Debre Berhan Selassie Church. Cruise Lake Tana, source of the Blue Nile, visiting island monasteries preserving ancient religious manuscripts and colorful murals. Trek the dramatic Simien Mountains, home to endemic wildlife including gelada baboons, Ethiopian wolves, and Walia ibex. Experience unique Ethiopian culture with coffee ceremonies, injera flatbread meals, and the ancient Ge'ez script still used in religious texts. Ethiopia offers incredible history, dramatic landscapes, and authentic cultural experiences unlike anywhere else in Africa.
