Book NowThere are two distinct landscapes in Ethiopia: the Simien Mountains and the Danakil Desert. The Simien Mountains National Park is part of the World Heritage Site. The mountains are made up of plateaus, valleys, and peaks. In contrast, the Afar Triple Junction, where three tectonic plates collide, is located in Danakil. When tectonic plates separate, as they did in Danakil, they leave behind a trail of geysers, hot springs, and other natural phenomena. Among the most remarkable man-made structures in sub-Saharan Africa is Lalibela, Ethiopia. In addition to the "must-see" historical sites in Lalibela, we also include traditional Ethiopian hospitality and a personal touch to make your trip truly memorable.
