With an absorbing cultural heritage, ancient historical treasures, religious monuments, dramatic scenery and remarkable wildlife, Ethiopia is a captivating country with sites and experiences, unlike anywhere else on the African continent. Meet some of Africa's most fascinating ethnic groups in traditional villages whose tribal customs and traditions remain intact. Explore the rock-hewn churches, castles, temples and palaces, many of which are sacred sites. Nature lovers will be blown away by hiking the epic landscapes and spotting endemic wildlife species, including the Ethiopian wolf, Walia ibex and the Old World monkey commonly known as the gelada baboon.
- Located in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia is a landlocked country that lies in eastern Africa, between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer.
- There are over 83 languages spoken throughout Ethiopia, and Amharic is the official national language of the country. Many Ethiopians can speak English, Arabic, Italian and French in the larger towns and cities.
- The best time to travel to Ethiopia is during the dry season. October to January is the most popular time to visit as the countryside lush and green. From February to May, the scenery becomes dryer and browner during this period.
