The City of Addis Ababa

The founders named it “the new flower” (Addis Abeba) after seeing a new flower at the site of hot springs. This was the main reason for King Menelik and his Queen consort Taitu to come down from the Entoto Hills in 1886 to the valley below. Addis is a big metropolis sprawled over an area of 21,000 hestares or about 250 sq. km. and had an estimated population of 2.2 million people in 1994 with projected estimates of over 3 million for 2008...CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

Excursions from Addis Ababa

As interesting as it is, you probably will not want to stay in Addis too long unless you have some serious shopping to do. Better venture out to the surrounding countryside. The five roads fanning out of the city each has different things to offer from crater lakes to ancient monasteries, spectacular gorges, wildlife, spa resorts and even rock-hewn Churches.

The Legendary Historic Route

Kids Stay Free on Kensington's Family Game Tracker Safari

Axum, Yeha, Debre Damo Monastery, Rock-hewn Churches of Tigray, Negash, Lalibela, Bahir Dar and more.
The Ethiopian epic, the Kibre Negest (Glory of the Kings) tells us that Menelik I, the son of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon, brought the original Ark of the Covenant from Jerusalem to Axum and thereby established one of the world’s longest known and uninterrupted monarchical dynasties. Impressive ruins, monuments and archaeological artifacts abound in and around Axum attesting to the solid, articulate, confident, literate and resourceful strength of this civilization. Axum’s most popular known insignia art is its mysterious monolithic stelae made of single pieces of granite with identical decorations. The biggest of them, now fallen is 33 meters high and weighs 500 tones, making it the largest monolith in the world. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

Unique Afro Alpine Ecosystem, Rich Biodiversity and True Wilderness

As a highly mountainous country having been described as the ‘Switzerland of Africa,’ Ethiopia is a geographical anomaly in a continent dominated by flat lands.
It accounts, for example, for 80% of all land in Africa above 4,000 meters. This coupled with it being in the tropics has endowed it with vast stretches of unique Afro-alpine ecosystems. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
