Ethiopia, the Land of Origins

Come and meet this one fascinating Horn of Africa country full of singularities and whose history is lost in time. This is where the “Grandmother of Humanity”, Lucy, whose skeleton is well guarded in the capital Addis Ababa, lived millions of years ago.

Ethiopia is the land of origin, a land never colonised by Western powers, full of treasures.

Today Ethiopia ranks among the best destinations to visit in the most prestigious publications. What does it hold? Why such a fine reputation? What can we expect on a trip? What makes it exceptional?

Want to know more about Ethiopia? Come to our talk to hear first-hand — and ask questions — about reasons to visit ancient Abyssinia. Discover the peoples of the Omo Valley, Dallol's Martian landscapes, the lava lake atop Erta Ale, Lalibela's rock-hewn Christian churches and much more, from people who know the country well.
