Ethiopia is a fascinating and enriching destination that is still largely undiscovered by the masses. With its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, age-old traditions, and stunning landscapes, Ethiopia is the perfect setting for an extreme adventure. This unique 10-night cultural exploration will take you to the best of Ethiopia’s unmissable sights, as well as a few hidden gems.
Your adventure begins in Addis Ababa, the culturally diverse capital of Ethiopia, where you can acclimate to the altitude and explore the city’s winding streets. Visit the Ethnographic Museum to learn about the country’s rich history, and discover the unique fusion of traditional music, Afro-funk, and jazz known as Ethio-Jazz in some of the city’s best night spots.
Next, take a two-hour flight to the historic village of Lalibela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can walk through the ancient village and marvel at the subterranean churches hewn from the rock itself. Unleash your inner foodie and learn how to make traditional dishes like Wat or enjoy a local coffee ceremony. Finally, take a thrilling hot air balloon ride over Lalibela for a new perspective.
A private charter flight will then take you to Gondar, where you can explore the 12 castles dating back to the 15th century. If you time your visit right, you can witness Timket, a religious feast day where pilgrims plunge into the Fasilidas pool to celebrate Jesus’ baptism.
Next, make your way to Simien Mountain National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can go on an authentic safari experience and spot 180 different species of birds and 35 mammals, including the native Ethiopian wolf and Gelada baboon. Climbing even higher to Chenek offers panoramic views and the chance to spot the majestic Walia Ibex.
Finally, head to Bale Mountain National Park, a photographer’s dream with its diverse landscapes. Enjoy privacy and stunning vistas from your 2,380-meter viewpoint, and go on a day trip to Dinsho to come face to face with the native Mountain Nyala and climb Geysay Mountain on horseback. The Sanetti Plateau is the best spot to glimpse the elusive Ethiopian Wolf and a selection of colorful sunbirds and eagles.
Before leaving, visit Merkato, Africa’s largest open-air market, for a trinket to remember your eye-opening Ethiopian experience. With its ancient architecture, bustling urban metropoles, and vivid cities, Ethiopia offers one of the world’s most stand-out honeymoons and is a destination not to be missed.
