A country rich in dramatic landscapes^12, ancient wonders^13, and traditional festivals unlike any you’ve seen before, Ethiopia builds memories to last a lifetime. Fly into Addis Ababa, at the foot of the Entoto Mountains¹⁴ - a bustling city filled with restaurants, museums and galleries—for a hint of the rich cultural experiences outside the capital.

Take an internal flight to Lalibela to visit the remarkable 13th century rock-hewn churches connected via tunnels^15. Travel on to Gondar, the Camelot of Africa, filled with crumbling palaces and castles^16. The city of Harar is a maze of alleyways¹⁷ where you might bump into a hyena^18. Eco-lodges offer a fantastic and rustic place to rest, with ones in the majestic Simien Mountains giving you close encounters with friendly gelada monkeys^19.

Known as the “land of the blue sky,”²⁸ Mongolia is a place of vast grasslands, blazing Gobi Desert dunes, and glacier-tipped mountainscapes. It’s one of the few countries where many people still live a semi-nomadic life²⁹, and you can join them when you stay in a ger camp³⁰. Tourist numbers are small, so now is the perfect time to visit.

While the city of Ulaanbaatar has some wonderful cafés, shops, museums, and throat-singing displays galore, stepping out of the city drops you into an epic and remote landscape. Golden eagles fly in the west³¹, rare snow leopards roam the mountains³², and camels wander through the Gobi Desert³³. Sleep in Mongolian gers along your route and stay warm round a stove and under thick yak wool throws as the expanse of blue sky turns into a blanket of stars at night.
