Addis Ababa Holidays

Located in the heart of the country at an altitude of 2,300 metres, Addis Ababa is the world's highest capital city and one of the largest in Africa. Home to some of the continent’s best museums, numerous cathedrals, restaurants, Italian coffee shops and a charmingly cosmopolitan atmosphere, this century-old city has a laid-back and welcoming feel. Visit the excellent Ethnological Museum which is housed within Haile Selassie’s former palace and chronicles the country’s many peoples and cultures, then head to the important National Museum. The best-known exhibit here is Lucy, a complete hominid skeleton dating back 3.5 million years discovered near Hadar in the far northeast of Ethiopia. Holy Trinity and St George Cathedral are well worth seeing or lose yourself in the chaotic Merkato market. With our knowledge and experience we can help to create a unique holiday to Ethiopia that is tailored exactly to your requirements.
