Ethiopia Travel Guide
Ethiopia is situated in North Eastern Africa
bordering Sudan to the north and North
West, Eritrea to the north and north east, Djibouti to the east, Somalia to
the east and south east
and to the south lies Kenya.
Ethiopia is home not only to nearly a hundred different tribes, each with
its own language, and also to an astonishing array of animal
and bird life, much
of it unique to this wonderful
country.
Ethiopia is bounded on its highland plateau by steep mountains and desolate lowlands, it was once known as the "Hidden Empire." The country's landscape is littered with old ruins and remains and wonders - ancient sculpted towers, Arab-influenced walled towns and early churches carved out of solid rock. It also has its share of wild places - of lions and hippos and untamed rivers. It may not actually have been the domain of the Queen of Sheba, as legend has it. And it may not be the final resting place of the Lost Ark, either. But it's the home of some of the most exotic ancient civilizations in the world - and the land where some of our earliest human ancestors have been discovered. The country's landscape is littered with old ruins and remains and wonders - ancient sculpted towers, Arab-influenced walled cities and early churches carved out of solid rock. Most of the population in Ethiopia is desperately poor and, periodically, unable to feed itself. Country’s amazing attractions come with plenty of flies and starving beggars. Tourist infrastructure is still minimal. While flexible, adventurous travelers will be enchanted nonetheless, others will find traveling in Ethiopia too stressful to be enjoyable.
