Historical routes through Ethiopia
We can tailor expeditions to many historic sites in Northern Ethiopia, as well as visits to places of interest to the South and East of Addis Ababa. Northern Ethiopia in particular features historical sites - located predominantly in and around the cities of Bahir Dar, Gondar, Axum and Lalibela - that give archaeological evidence to the impressive history of Ethiopia.
