Ethiopia

Ethiopia is a true titan of history, culture, and extreme geography, standing proud as the only nation in Africa that was never colonized. From the high-altitude, jagged peaks of the Simien Mountains to the ancient, rock-hewn churches of Lalibela and the low-lying, extra-terrestrial lava lakes of the Danakil Depression, this massive Horn of Africa nation is engineered for ultimate exploration. It delivers a masterclass in unique travel, combining raw, prehistoric archaeological sites with rich tribal cultures and its own distinct calendar and clock systems.
