🌍 The Country

Nestled in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia is a land of timeless wonder, rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. As one of the oldest nations in the world and the only African country never colonized, Ethiopia holds a unique place in global heritage. Its vibrant culture reflects a tapestry of over 80 ethnic groups, each with its own language, customs, and traditions, united by a deep sense of pride and resilience.

With a population exceeding 120 million, Ethiopia is the second-most populous country in Africa, and its capital, Addis Ababa, serves as both a political hub and the diplomatic capital of the continent. The economy is largely agrarian, driven by coffee—Ethiopia’s gift to the world—as well as livestock, textiles, and a growing tourism and service sector.

Celebrations like Meskel, Timket, and Enkutatash offer vivid displays of faith and festivity, drawing locals and tourists alike into centuries-old traditions. Ethiopia’s landscape is breathtakingly diverse, from the majestic peaks of the Simien Mountains to the otherworldly Danakil Depression, from the ancient rock-hewn churches of Lalibela to the awe-inspiring ruins of Aksum.

Whether exploring the origins of humanity in the Great Rift Valley or savoring spicy injera dishes, visitors find in Ethiopia a rare blend of adventure, spirituality, and cultural richness unmatched anywhere else in Africa.
