The lofty mountanins and noble heights of Ethiopia
A monotone paradise ,unspoiled , little known and unique Waiting for you to discover its own special enchantment and animals. The Walia Ibex, it lives on the precipitous cliff face undisturbed by the sheer drop beneath.
As the troops of Galada Baboon are undisturbed by your presence among them. Because few have traveled this way in to the heart of the highland massifs.
Ethiopia is a land of spectacular geographical formations, where rare indigenous animals roam free, bird life abounds and colorful wild flowers and native plants carpet the land.
The country is made even more enjoyable by a uniquely comfortable, temperate climate. The visitor is assured months of sunshine and yet temperatures are refreshingly mild because of the altitude of the central plateau.
