Résumé

Ethiopia is one of Africa's most intoxicating countries. Its rich historical heritage, diverse peoples and immense natural beauty create an identity utterly distinct from the rest of the continent. Admire the towering stelae of ancient Axum, visit the centuries-old monasteries of Lake Tana, and discover the animist traditions of South Amos pastoralist tribes. Drive through the snaking Blue Nile Gorge, explore the sculpted sandstone cliffs of Tigray, or look for the endangered Ethiopian wolf in the Bale Mountains. Packed with detailed background information and up-to-date practical advice, Bradt's Ethiopia — now in its eighth edition — remains the most comprehensive guide to the country. Follow Philip Briggs, the leading guidebook writer on Africa, as he journeys along the popular tourist circuit and explores dozens of out-of-the-way gems.
