Ethiopia Holidays
Famous for its rock-hewn churches and ancient monasteries, Ethiopia has spectacular scenery, the vast Rift Valley and volcanic lakes. With its indigenous wildlife and birds, the variety of its habitats and the diversity of its ethnic groups, a holiday in Ethiopia offers visitors an unrivalled choice of experiences.
The world’s third highest capital, Addis Ababa is Ethiopia’s gateway city with more than enough to keep visitors entertained for a day or two.
The starting point of any tour of Ethiopia, Addis is a busy and vibrant city, one of Africa’s most interesting urban centres with a number of striking churches and cathedrals which serve as an excellent introduction for visitors. The city houses the headquarters of the African Union; the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and a host of NGOs and international bodies. The presence of such important international organisations has resulted in the establishment of a range of comfortable accommodation options and one of Africa’s most modern, hassle-free international airports.
From Addis, many visitors head north to the more famous sites in the popular Historical Circuit. Kiddist Selassie (Holy Trinity) Cathedral is the final resting place of the late Emperor Haile Selassie and the national museum here is one of the best in Africa.
Just outside the city is scenic Mount Entoto, the original site of the permanent camp established by Emperor Menelik II in 1881. At an elevation of 3,000m, Entoto commands sweeping views over the capital and surrounding countryside.
