Collection: Ethiopia

Ethiopia, the Cradle of Civilisation, is a landlocked East African nation of 126 million people with its capital in Addis Ababa. Africa's oldest independent country and the birthplace of coffee, it mesmerises with the UNESCO-listed rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, the ancient obelisks of Aksum, the walled city of Harar Jugol, the dramatic Simien Mountains, the otherworldly Danakil Depression — one of the hottest places on Earth — and a proud Amhara, Oromo, and Tigrinya cultural heritage spanning millennia.
