Highlights
Bahir Dar - Situated on the outskirts of the famous Lake Tana, 600km north of Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar is the third largest and arguably the most beautiful city in Ethiopia. As the capital of the regional state of Amhara, the city is home to historic monasteries, charming lodges, exotic fish markets, beautiful lakes, and of course the famous Blue Nile Falls.
Gonder- Known for its remarkable collection of crumbling castles, fortifications, and 17th-century churches. Gonder is often referred to as the “Camelot of Africa”. This small city in the Amhara region of northern Ethiopia was the home to many emperors who ruled the country from the 12th century to the last decade of the 20th century.
Simien Mountain - Jaw-dropping plateaus, ridges, gorges, and gullies characterize this UNESCO World Heritage Site. With some of the world's best trekking routes, endemic wildlife and luxurious lodges perched in hills, the Simien Mountains are Ethiopia's most popular destination, and for good reason.
