Ethiopian Imperial and Tribal Tour !

A very unique and exciting photo tour consists of three parts. First, we will visit the Omo River Valley for an extraordinary cultural experience and outstanding photography. It is truly like going back in time 20,000 years. We will visit the Mursi, Surma, Karo, and Hamar tribes, and you will have up close and intimate portrait opportunities that you’ll treasure forever. The second part of the trip consists of visiting the Christian north of the country. We first fly into Gondar and then drive to the beautiful Simien Mountains.

Here we will photograph wonderful landscapes and, in addition, we will have close encounters with wild and exotic gelada monkeys where you can take stunning portraits and even wide angle shots. The third part of the trip is visiting Lalibela, the location of the amazing rock-hewn churches that date from the 11th century. These churches are what's left after the surrounding rocks were cut away. It's brilliant architecture, and along with the Ethiopian priests as models, the photography here is fabulous.

Close to Haven ! High and hidden!

In Ethiopia, an adrenaline-filled act of faith!

Think to back Gheralta, The Ethiopian Arizona!

Getting to the frescoed, 1,000-year-old cave churches of Ethiopia’s Gheralta Mountains requires climbing sheer rock walls and skirting cliff edges – all without so much as a rope.

Ethiopia, Gheralta Mountains, Tigray province.

With their sheer cliffs, surreal rock formations and vertical spires, northern Ethiopia’s Gheralta Mountains recall stretches of the southwestern United States’ red desert landscape. The primary difference: perched high and tucked away into these mountain cliffs are some of the country’s least visited rock-hewn Ethiopian Orthodox cave churches, some of which are more than 1,000 years old. The Gheralta cluster, located in Tigray Province, includes more than 30 structures. Although local legend claims that these churches date to between the 4th and 6th Centuries, historians believe that they were more likely built from the 9th to 12th Centuries. That, and its location, makes the Gheralta cluster the geographic and artistic midpoint between the early Ethiopian Orthodox centres of Aksum, built from the 4th to 10th Centuries in the north, and Lalibela, from the 12th to 13th Centuries, further south.

Ethiopia, Gheralta mountains!

High and hidden, the Gheralta churches’ positions served two purposes: to bring devotees closer to heaven and to be out of sight to raiding armies passing through the valleys below. So in order to experience these churches, visitors must hike slot canyons, free climb sheer sandstone walls and skirt cliff edges.

Lets us Take you to The Amazing Bati !

The market in Bati is really impressive and worth the detour! It's one of the most important (if not the most important) in the country. It's the cultural and commercial crossroads for the Oromos, Amhara and Afar people of this region; the latter being desert nomads.

This market is sprawling, and is divided into three sections: the grains market, the livestock market and a general market with crafts. It's best to be accompanied by a guide who will explain the customs of each tribe and help you integrate fully!

The number of animals (camels, cows, sheep, goats...) and even the dust is impressive! The magnificent craft pieces there are so colourful loincloths, jewellery, traditional embroidered clothes, knives...

Prince (Dejatch) Alemayehu Tewodros of Ethiopia) (1861-1879), Son of King(Emperor)Tewdros II and Empress Tiruwork Wube of Abyssinia Ethiopia 🇪🇹 . His father committed su***de rather than surrender after his defeat by the British, led by Sir Robert Napier, at the Battle of Magdala in 1868, in which the British forces came to rescue the protestant missionaries he was holding hostage. Alamayehu was orphaned when his mother died during the trip to the coast, the British forces had intended to take them both to Britain but Alamayou travelled alone. He was introduced to Queen Victoria at her Isle of Wight residence, Osbourne House. He was educated at Rugby and Sandhurst where he was deeply unhappy possibly due to the racism that he encountered. He moved to Far Headingley, Leeds, to stay with his old tutor Cyril Ransome but contracted pleurisy and died of the illness 6 weeks later. He died at the age of 18 on 14th November 1879, after an unhappy childhood, and was buried at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle at the request of Queen Victoria.
You can see some of the looted Ethiopian treasures in the picture including crowns,bibles, books, cross etc.
Ethiopia should bring back the prince’s remains and the royal treasures stolen by british forces 🇪🇹.

Festivals are Calling! We invite you to Celebrate 🍾 Together! The finding of the True Cross!
Meskel, the Ethiopian ‘True Cross’ Celebration
Meskel, the Ethiopian ‘True Cross’ Celebration
meskel true cross ethiopia
The Meskel festival in Ethiopia is one of the country’s most important occasions. Celebrated with a huge bonfire, it is a cultural experience that is highly recommended for visitors from overseas.
Ethiopia follows a different calendar to the rest of the world, with the Ethiopian New Year falling on the 11th of September, or the 12th of September in leap years. However, the biggest celebration of the Ethiopian religious year comes later in the month.
On September 27th or 28th (depending on the year), the True Cross celebration in Ethiopia is celebrated in Meskel Square, Addis Ababa. Most foreign visitors wishing to attend the traditional festival will be required to first get an Ethiopia Visa before traveling to Meskel in Ethiopia.
What is Ethiopian Meskel?
The Ethiopia Meskel celebration is an annual religious holiday in the Ethiopian Orthodox church.
It commemorates the supposed discovery of the True Cross upon which Jesus was crucified by the Romans.
The legend goes that in the 4th century BC the Roman Empress Helena received a vision in a dream telling her where to find the cross.
She ordered the people of Jerusalem to collect wood, and the smoke from a huge bonfire apparently indicated the location where the cross was buried.
The True Cross Meskel celebration is considered the most important religious holiday in Ethiopia, largely because it’s believed that a piece of the cross Saint Helena discovered was brought to Ethiopia, and is housed in the mountains of Amba Geshen.

This is not some where in the world, This is the outstanding Semien Mountain Ethiopia .Trek in the roof of Africa and put your self on the high .

Ethiopia’s premier trekking and walking destination, the 412 km2 Simien Mountains National Park was inscribed as the only Natural World Heritage in Ethiopia in 1979, whereupon UNESCO lauded it as “one of the world’s most spectacular landscapes, with jagged mountain peaks deep valleys and sharp precipices dropping some 1,500m”.

In addition to the splendid scenery and hiking opportunities, the Afromontane meadows and moorlands of the upper Simiens also form one of Ethiopia& #39;s most important biodiversity hotspots, populated by an alluring wealth of endemic plants and animals including Walia ibex, gelada baboon and Ethiopian wolf. The dramatic landscapes of the Simen Mountains (i.e.

the extreme escarpments and their thousands of meters of sheer cliffs) are the result of massive seismic activity in the area about 40 million years ago (Miocene and Oligocene, geological period). Ever since, this massive complex (a 3000m-thick molten lava outpour) has been going through tectonic activities
(faulting, folding ... during tertiary period), glaciations/ice cover and uplifting. Subsequently, erosion over the millennia has resulted in the rugged landscapes of the Semien Mountains (Hurni H., Ethiopia
1986). Climate The mean annual rainfall is 1,550mm falling in two wet seasons, from February to March,and July to September which is said to have become much lower since the 1960s (Margin, 2001).
Temperatures range from a minimum of -2.5�‹C to 4�‹C to a maximum of 11�‹C to 18�‹C.

There are often drying winds during the day; frosts may occur at night, and snow sometimes settles on the summit of
Ras Dashen. Flora Due to variation in altitude and topographical features, the vegetation in Semen Mountain is characterized by four different altitudinal belts; namely: Afro alpine moorland (3700-4400
MASL), Ericaceous moorland/sub alpine highland (2900- 3700 MASL), mountain forest belts (2000-3000
MASL), and savanna belt (below 2000mast).

The endemic giant lobelia rhynchopetalum and festuca gilbertiana, Giant heather, erica arbora,
hypericum revolutum , hypericum quartinianum, Juniperus procera, Hygenia abyssinica, Olea
chrysophylla, and Papanea simensis are dominant species, to name a few. Species which are
traditionally recognized as having & #39;medicinal& #39; value include: Hygenia abyssinica, giant lobelia,
Synoglossumlanceolatum, or Giometricum, phytolaca Dodicandra, Thymus serrulatus, Myrsine Africana,
Achyranthus aspera, Kalanchoe deficiens, Zehnaria scabro, Conium maculatum, Fauna Though the park
is home for 32 mammals and 182 bird species, Semen is known more by the richness (high rate) of
endemic than species diversity, as there are 11 endemic mammals and 6 endemic bird species, each
accounting for 32.2% and 37.5% of the country& #39;s endemic mammals and bird species, respectively.

Simen is one of the parks that make the country & #39;center of endemic& #39; in East Africa, next to Madagascar.
The 4 endemic large mammals of the park, which account for 57% of the country& #39;s endemic large
mammals, are: Wallia Ibex capra ibex Wallia with a population of 623 as of 2005 (endemic to Semen
only), Ethiopian wolf canis simensis with a population of 78 as of 2005 , Gelada Baboon more than 4000,
Minilik Bush buck - still questionable. Besides, the park is also home for other large mammal species,
such as: Klipspringer, Leopard, and common jackal. In addition to large and small mammals there are also 6 endemic bird species in the SMNP, namely; Spot breasted plover, Abyssinian long claw, Abyssinian
cat bird, Black headed siskin, Abyssinian woodpecker and Ankober Serine.

The best way to explore the Simien Mountains is on foot or mule back several overnight options are
available.

The 3-day trail connecting Sankaber, Gich, Imet Gogo and Ayna Meda is recommended to
those whose main interest is endemic wildlife. For peak-baggers, the ascent to the summit of Ras Dejen could be undertaken as a 3-day hike from Chennek. For those with limited time, it is possible to drive
east from Debark to Chennek along an all-weather road, and to exit the car for short walks.

Blue Nile Gorge located on the boundary of Amhara region, in Northern Ethiopia, the Blue Nile Gorge is a series of gorges to a depth of some 1.500m (4,900ft). Nestled in the Ethiopian highlands, the Blue Nile Gorge is one of the largest gorges in the world.
The gorges are traversed by a tortuous winding road and a pair of bridges. The road is totally paved but dangerous due the pedestrian and the turns.
The road running through the gorges is called Escarpment Road (Road 3). Located in the mountains of Ethiopia, the serpentine road is one of Ethiopia's most dramatic stretches of road, offering spectacular views in places. The road is 50.4 km (31.31 miles) long, running north-south from Tik Giyorgis Bete Kiristyan towards Gohatsion.

Hidden Gems Of Antiquity!

Take a boat trip on Lake Tana and discover the ancient monasteries and hidden Treasures!

Lake Tana is the largest lake in Ethiopia, with a surface area of 3, 673km2, and it is also the source of the Blue Nile, a connection that explains many of Ethiopia’s links with the ancient world. Tana “was known to the Ancient Greeks as Pseboe, and to the ancient Egyptians as Coloe; it was described by a 5th c Greek dramatist as the ‘copper-tinted lake… that is the jewel of Ethiopia”. Even today, the papyrus tankwa that sail the lake bear a striking resemblance to the boats of Ancient Egypt.

The beauty of Lake Tana truly be appreciated when on the outskirt of the city. The major attractions around the lake are , the centuries old monasteries full of paintings and treasures and the numerous wetland birds such as the Great White Pelican and African Darter ,African Soft-shell Turtle and many Paleartic migrant water birds that reside at Lake Tana.

Among the thirty-seven islands over lake Tana about 19 of them have monasteries on them. The remains of ancient Ethiopian emperors and treasures of the Ethiopian Church are kept in this isolated island. Some of this monasteries are said to have housed the Ark of the Covenant before it was moved to Axum.

Thanks to their remote location, the monasteries of Lake Tana have remained hidden for centuries, guarding their treasures against intruders from foreign lands and the passage of time. For those who know where to find them, however, a short boat trip across the lake is all that is needed to discover these hidden gems of antiquity. Step on board and we will take you on a travel back in time.

The oldest fossil bones belonging to one of the Great Apes, a female early human called Ardi, were found in 1994 near the Awash river. Ardi is together with the Lucy skeleton one of the most complete early human ancestor skeleton that was ever discovered. Ardi’s fossil bones are more than 4.4 million years old.

Lucy's 3.2 million year old remains were discovered in the Afar region in northern Ethiopia in 1974. Locals refer to the female hominid Lucy as "Dinkinesh" which means "You are marvellous" in Amharic or "Heelomali" which means "You are special" in the Afar language.

Visit the Ancient Church of Cave Endrias.
The holiday will celebrate On May 28 in a leap year.

Overview
Destination: Tara Gedam monasteries
Tour Code: KTE 007/22
Duration: 1 Night 2 days
Tour Title: History with nature
Transportation: Surface drive

Tara Gedam which has a sub-tropical climate and covered by dense forest is the home of ancient historical and religious places in addition to its stunning natural landscape. On the main road from Bahir Dar to Gondar and is stretched along the coasts of Lake Tana, an upward 10 kms travel from the Town of Addis Zemen and 2.5 kms left of the main road, there are found the astonishing Monasteries of Washa Endrias and Woin Washa Tekle Haimanot. The natural cave, Washa Endrias Church, is said to be the place where the Judaic belief had been preached before the advent of Christianity to Ethiopia and Christianity was expanded in the 4th century during the reign of Emperor Ezana. However, the Judaic belief started to be weakened when Christianity was expanded by the Nine saints who were said to come from the Middle East especially Syria.
Washa Endrias monastry:
Washa Endrias is said to be long and has an underground connection to another cave, Woin Washa, which has the name of a religious father called Tekle Haimanot. The two religious men were meeting through the underground tunnel and the place where the two caves meet is called ‘Aguat Mafsesha’ (literally meaning the spot to spill yogurt). On the duller side of the cave where there are many bats, there are two wooden receptacles from which the Serpent in the Judaic time used to drink the sacrificial milk and blood, a stone bell, Arks, parchment manuscripts and age-old skeletal remains. The cave is said to have a length of about 20 kms. Hence this is a potential site for historians and researchers. Based on a descended legend, the local elders state that the building up of the other church which is surrounded by slopes and forest, Woin Washa Tekel Haimanot, began during the reign of Emperor Yekuno Amlak and ended during the reign of Emperor Seife Aried (1344-1371).
