Ethiopia


ethiopiaEthiopia, with a rich and unique history, spectacular landscapes and a resilient population, is a challenging, but highly rewarding, place to travel. If you can handle travelling through a monetarily poor country with few luxuries, you will be rewarded with spectacular historical treasures, dramatic mountain ranges, the unique Danakil Depression, and remote lowlands, as well as beautiful villages and fascinating people.

What’s the difference?

Communities are any tourism/volunteer initiatives that are owned and run by the community members. Organisations are not-for-profits that work with communities to promote their initiatives and is a good place to look for volunteering opportunities. Travel agencies are ethical for-profits that work with communities to promote their programs and tours worldwide.
