Visiting Ethiopia is a true adventure. Historic churches and monuments, ancient traditions and tribal communities, colourful festivals, sweeping views, extraordinary bio-diversity, and the best coffee you'll ever taste. Totally different from its more popular East African neighbours, it's a wild, wonderful, unpredictable land.
Historic Monuments
Ethiopia's cultural heritage is all around you - from the statues and monuments, to the ancient buildings and traditions. It's the only African nation never to be colonised by a European empire (although it was briefly occupied by Mussolini - Ethiopians still use 'ciao' as their goodbye!).
Ethiopia's rich history is best understood by visiting the country and seeing the ancient monuments - stood firm for centuries - towering above. The famous rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, centuries-old and still in use today, are one of Ethiopia's most cultural and historically important sites.
Continue exploring to find the Fasil Ghebbi fortress complex in Gonder, and the ancient towering Obelisks in the old capital of Axum. Keep going and you'll find Harar, with her maze of cobbled streets and stone walls, mosques, and hyenas!
Beautiful Landscapes
Ethiopia has some of the most staggering vistas anywhere on the continent. The Ethiopian highlands are famous for being one of the largest areas of continuous highlands anywhere on the continent - and over 60% of all of East Africa's highlands are found in Ethiopia.
The Simien Mountains National Park are one of the country's most spectacular mountain ranges, and if you head south, the Bale Mountains National Park are one of the country's best wildlife destinations and the best place to find the endemic Ethiopian Wolf.
A short excursion from the picturesque lakeside town of Bahir Dar is the Blue Nile Falls, one of Africa’s most impressive waterfalls.
Biodiversity
There is plenty of wildlife to be found in Ethiopia, and the country has an impressive number of endemic species. The iconic and endangered Ethiopian Wolf can only be found here, and it remains the rarest canid in the world, but sightings are common in the Bale Mountains.
In the Simien Mountains, you'll find other endemics like the Walia Ibex - giant mountain goats with massive horns - black-maned lions (rarely seen) and mountain nyala. Most famous of all is the Gelada Monkey, or 'bleeding heart monkey'. This iconic animal is found only in Ethiopia, and you'll see them in large troops playing on the fields in the Simiens.
If you head to Gambella National Park, you'll find savannah-roaming species like elephants, zebra, wildebeests, buffalo, and giraffes. In Harar, you can feed the hyenas that roam outside the city walls.
In the lakes of Ethiopia, you'll find crocodiles, hippos, and pelicans - and a diversity of birdlife, including the white-cheeked Turaco, the blue-winged Goose and the Rouget's Rail. The Cradle of Humanity
Lucy (known locally as Dinknesh), the skeleton of an early hominin species dating back more than 3.2 million years, was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, and she wasn't the first of her kind to be found in the country.
This has led many to believe that humanity first evolved from our primate ancestors in ancient Ethiopia. The Awash Valley and Omo Valley are deemed important palaeontological sites by UNESCO, and a replica of ‘Lucy’ can be seen in the country’s National Museum. Festivals & Celebrations
Ethiopia has a vibrant festival calendar. The most famous celebrations are Ethiopian Christmas (also known as Leddet or Genna) on the 7th January every year, and the Timket festival (also known as Epiphany) on the 19th January. In September, there are the festivals of Enkutatash (Ethiopian new year) on 11th September, and Meskel (finding of the true cross) on 27th September.
The country really comes alive during these festivals, and if you're lucky enough to be in Addis, Gonder, or Lalibela during these events, you'll be part of a lucky few who have experienced first-hand a central tenant of Ethiopian culture.
The Adwa celebrations every year commemorate the anniversary of Ethiopia’s successful defeat of invading Italian forces in 1896 and involve men dressed in traditional costumes of lion mane collars and warriors’ headdresses dancing in main city squares. Coffee Ceremonies
Coffee ceremonies, a tradition passed down through centuries, are famous in Ethiopia. The country is the birthplace of coffee, and they make it better than anyone.

Questions in a comment!!!
Ethiopia, famed as coffee's birthplace and uncolonized African country, holds a treasure of legends. Here, lions transcend their wild nature, becoming symbols of bravery and strength, deeply interwoven into the nation's spirit.
Embracing untamed companionship, Ethiopians formed bonds with lions. These majestic creatures evolved alongside humans, their roars blending with laughter.
In the regal courts, emperors like Tewodros and Menelik II cherished lions, while Empress Zewditu and Emperor Haile Selassie continued this tradition. The lions embodied Judah, symbolizing Ethiopia's lineage from the Israelite Royal House, through King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Across history, lions' courage was celebrated in ceremonies, and their symbols adorned coins, stamps, and seals. European references mirrored their might. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah echoed through time, inspiring within Ethiopia and beyond.
Loango national park, located in the southwest of the country, is perhaps the most emblematic of the Gabonese national parks. 1,500 square kilometers of beaches, lagoons, mangrove swamps and forests have earned Loango the nickname of the last African Eden.
Sonia, a Spanish primatologist , arrived at Loango national park about three months ago. With her, we discover all the emblematic animals of the park.

Gabon is home of a great diversity of wildlife species including some of the world's deadliest animals. But it's a common misconception that visitors to Gabon are constantly at risk of attack from the country’s wildlife.
In reality, if you follow basic safety guidelines, they pose little threat to your safety.
In fact, mosquitos claim many human lives in Gabon each year as they act as the bearers of deadly diseases like malaria. However, here we discuss the most dangerous animals of Gabon with the exception of humans.

In Gabon, a local group of conservationists are sowing the seeds of ecotourism. Their goal is to finance the protection of not just the local gorillas, but also the rain forest itself.

Gabon, Afrique Centrale. Une expérience inédite se prépare : la réintroduction en milieu sauvage de gorilles élevés en captivité. Mabeke et sa famille vont être relâchés sur l’île d’Ewengué. Jusqu’ici, seuls quelques très jeunes gorilles célibataires avaient été réintroduits dans la nature.
✋Les plus beaux documentaires animaliers ? Ils sont ICI 👉https://bit.ly/2XBe3RZ 👈Abonnez vous 🙏
Découvrez dans ce film l’histoire de ces étonnants grands singes, la préparation de l’opération puis l’aventure de la redécouverte de la vie en forêt tropicale.
La famille de Mabeke pourra-t-elle s’adapter à son nouveau milieu ? La question demeure cruciale non seulement pour le sort de ces gorilles mais aussi pour le devenir de toute l’espèce menacée d’extinction.

Did you know Gabon has one of the highest forest cover rates in the world, with over 85% of its land covered by forests?
Or that the Gabonese flag features two horizontal stripes, green and gold, which represent the country's forests and mineral wealth, respectively, and a blue stripe in the center, which symbolizes the ocean?
It is also a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which is a group of oil-producing countries that work together to regulate oil prices and production levels.
