Highlights

Visit Aksum with its palace ruins, underground tombs and stelae; the city houses Ethiopia’s holiest shrine
Get trekking in the Simien Mountains national park, which offers routes for casual strolls and weeks-long hiking. The park has a large variety of wildlife, and is the access to Africa’s forth-highest peak Ras Dashen (4620m).
Wander among the 11 churches of Lalibela, which were cut straight from the rock at an altitude of 2630m.
Harar’s walled old town invites travellers to get lost in its maze of 362 alleyways. At night, the last remaining hyena men feed the animals just outside the city walls, and brave visitors can have a go too.
Delve into the Danakil Depression, the lowest place in Africa (-116m) and among the most inhospitable places on earth.
Take a bath in the hot spring pools at Wondo Genet or hike through the forest for a glimpse of the Rift Valley and spotting various bids as well as baboons and hyenas.
Stroll around the city of Gondar, nicknamed 'Africa’s Camelot' with its slightly surreal cluster of African castles and Italian cafés
