Cultural Experiences

Ethiopia is perhaps the hardest to describe. Ethiopia is an incredible blend of natural beauty, history and culture. The natural beauty of the country is obvious, you can’t escape the sweeping views and mountain peaks. The history is all around you; staring up at a crumbling castle ruin you know immediately you’re standing somewhere with a long and deep history.

The culture is something else. It’s less tangible, but even more powerful.

In some sense, everything you do in Ethiopia could be labelled a cultural experience. Wandering the sprawling markets, visiting the ancient churches and monasteries, hiking across the plateaus, and sampling the local cuisine. Everything you experience in Ethiopia is shaped by its culture, and you’ll be constantly in tune with how local way of life differs to your own, in both positive and negative ways.

There is no separating an experience in Ethiopia from the cultural fabric from which it’s borne. That’s what makes Ethiopia so hard to describe. It’s incredibly diverse, and a single destination can be described a thousand ways.
