As well as laying claim to being one of the oldest nations on earth, Ethiopia is also one of Africa’s largest countries. Its fast-growing population is matched by an equally fast-growing economy. With the highest concentration of highlands anywhere on the African continent, and an unparalleled genetic diversity, it is home to beautiful and diverse landscapes, and to a multitude of cultures. It’s rock churches of the north are world renowned, and its form of early Christianity is a major drawcard. It is a land and a people worthy of discovery for first-time visitors and seasoned travelers. The country’s history, its culture, its wildlife, its landscape, and its climate, serve as fair introduction to a country quite unlike any other.
