DISCOVER ETHIOPIA
New & Extraordinary!
March 17-April 1, 2022
Dear Travelers!
We invite you to join us as we discover the
unique history, mountains, rock-hewn churches,
and natural world of Ethiopia!
We will see the
headwaters of the Nile at Lake Tana, and the
Blue Nile Falls.
To really explore Ethiopia, we will have long
drives through spectacular mountainous terrain
from Lake Tana to the ancient capital of
Gondar, Axum (renowned for its 2,000-year-old
stelae), and to the amazing rock-hewn churches
at Lalibela.
We will relish the natural world at 10,000 feet
in the Simien Mountains, with breathtaking
views across Ethiopia and troops of gelada
monkeys grazing around us. With luck, we
might see an Ethiopian wolf.
Ethiopia is the highest country in Africa. The
fascinating mountainous countryside will be
intriguing and breathtaking. We will travel from
Addis Ababa at 7,700 feet to Lake Tana at 6,000
feet, and then to Axum and Gondar at 7,000
feet, Lalibela at 8,500 feet.
