Ethiopia Holidays
Discover rock-cut churches, trek the Simien mountains and visit the city of Harar, where hyenas stalk the streets. For the more adventurous, camp in the remote reaches of the Omo Valley, meeting traditional tribal communities.
Ethiopia’s landscape is magnificent, the people incredibly welcoming and the sense of history tangible. The old decorative art in the churches, the castles at Gondar, the rock-cut churches at Lalibela and the 1,700-year-old monolithic stelae at Axum are all inspiring.
Ethiopia is fascinating, both historically and culturally, a magical country to visit.

Illona Cross
Before joining Steppes Travel over 25 years ago, I spent a decade working as a ranger, guide and lodge manager across Southern and East Africa. It’s also deeply personal place for me: I got married in Africa, honeymooned in Africa and still return every year with my family – proof that my love for the continent runs far deeper than just professional experience.
