Experience an Ethiopian Tour, be astonished by
the spectacle of Lake Tana, the Blue Nile Falls, Gondar, the
Simien Mountains and the church at Tigray.
Capture the memories of a lifetime in the Omo
national park, Ethiopia’s largest nature sanctuary, rich in
spectacular game and yet one of the least visited areas.

Dear Eskinder,
Colette and I had a marvelous time in Ethiopia, thanks to
your outstanding organization of our journey. It was a very
short stay, with a great amount of ground to cover, and I
can only say it gave us a taste for more!
We will both recommend
your country and your company very warmly to our
friends.
I would especially
like to thank you for showing me around Addis, and
smoothing things out for me while shopping (and shipping!)
I enjoyed our talks very much!
Please give my regards
and heartfully felt thanks again to Antsokia and Yared, who
greatly contributed to making our stay so
enjoyable.
Kind
regards, Laurence

Ethiopia is situated in North
Eastern Africa. Its capital Addis Ababa enjoys
a healthy climate at 8000 feet above sea
level.
Ethiopia, the diplomatic
capital of Africa, has an independence that
dates back before the birth of Christ. The
current flag of Ethiopia was officially adopted
on February 6, 1996.
The flag comprises the Pan-African colors of
green, symbolic of Ethiopia's land, yellow the color of peace
and love and red the color of strength. The centered gold star
on a blue shield represents unity.
Ethiopia is bordered by Sudan to the north and
north west. Eritrea lies to the north and north east with
Djibouti to the east.
Somalia is to the east and south east and to
the south lies Kenya.
A distinctive attraction on an Ethiopian tour
is the northern part of the Great Rift Valley.
The valley runs the entire length of the
country in a northeast-southwest direction.
In the centre of the country is a high plateau
region.
Ethiopia is bordered by steep slopes on the
northwest and the lowlands are hot and arid. The semi-desert
region of the Ogaden, covers the entire southeastern region of
the country.
In the north, the Danakil Desert reaches to the
Red Sea and the coastal foothills of Eritrea.
Ethiopia's largest lake is Lake Tana, the
source of the Blue Nile River.
This river winds around in a great arc before
merging with the White Nile in the Sudan.
It travels through great canyons that reach
depths of more than 4,000 ft.
Ethiopia is also home to nearly a hundred
different tribes, each with its own language.
