Many of us lived and worked in Africa before joining Audley and our knowledge of the different regions of South, Southern and East Africa is unsurpassed. We return regularly to our specialist countries, keeping up-to-date with developments and discovering the best safaris, lodges and beach hideaways for our clients. Heading up the Africa team are Regional Managers Terry Moohan, Sharre Fox and Glenn Evans. Meet our specialists 5 Introduction to our Monasteries and Landscapes of Ethiopia tour Tour overview Ethiopia’s central plateau is a verdant area which has supported civilisations for thousands of years. Although it is not a destination for those hung-up on creature comforts, the vibrant country of today is a far cry from the parched land ravaged by famine that was portrayed by the press in the 1980s. In addition to this rich cultural heritage, the country also has varied and stunning scenery, and unique wildlife. Exploring by road and domestic flights, this tour travels with an expert local guide around the northern part of the country, visiting cultural sites such as the towering stelae at Axum, the rock-hewn monolithic churches of Lalibela and the elaborate castles of Gondar. In addition to this you will enjoy hiking in the stunningly beautiful Simien Mountains and searching for the endemic Ethiopian wolf and gelada baboon. The tour offers plenty of opportunities to view everyday life in Ethiopia and for interacting with the local population. Specialist knowledge Our Ethiopia team has travelled extensively throughout the country and we have pooled their collective knowledge to create a trip that we think reflects the best of Ethiopia. Your initial enquiry will be handled by just one of our specialists who will then proceed to be your main point of contact until you return from the tour. Please feel free to contact them at any time. Expert guides You will be accompanied at all times by an experienced and knowledgeable guide who speaks English. There is not a tour leader accompanying this group from the UK as your Ethiopian driver and guide will be leading the group as well as being your point of contact on the ground. Not only does this employ one of the wonderful guides who work in Ethiopia, it also ploughs more money from tourism directly into the country. Group size and transport The group size will be between a minimum of four and a maximum of 14 participants. The small size of the group ensures that the trip is a more personal experience and that you can always hear and speak to your guide. It also ensures that your experience of a particular site is not marred by the presence of too many people and each person has their own window seat. The vehicle used in this tour will be a minibus. Single travellers We welcome single travellers and there are two options: you can choose to share a room with another single traveller on the tour (providing that another single traveller of the same sex is also willing to share) and pay the standard tour price, or pay a single supplement if you want to guarantee sole occupancy of a room. Please note that due to limited numbers of rooms at some of the lodges on the tour, we are only able to accept a maximum of four single travellers unless you are prepared to share a room. Activity level: medium To ensure that all participants get the most out of the tour, it is important that you are fully aware of the level of activity, fitness and medical health required to successfully complete this itinerary. Please read this dossier carefully prior to confirming your place on the tour. Once you have read through the dossier it is your responsibility to contact us with any concerns regarding your level of fitness, health or ability. Please be aware that our tour guides have the right to exclude customers from the tour if they feel they are not sufficiently fit, healthy or able to complete the tour without affecting its safety, comfort or smooth progress. If you would like to discuss any of these issues further please contact the Ethiopia team on 01993 838 565. Included in the price Unlike some other group tour operators in Ethiopia, our price includes all reasonable costs that your trip will incur - this includes all permits, guide and park fees, transfers, all meals, accommodation and expertly guided excursions. The only money you will be required to travel with will be for the purchase of drinks and curios, and for tipping. We believe that this is the most convenient way of planning for your travels and means that you do not arrive in the country with large amounts of cash. Dietary requirements and meals You should highlight any special dietary requirements on the booking form. However you must be aware that it is unrealistic to expect specialist diets to be catered for in some of the destinations we will be visiting. We will advise hotels and airlines of your request but we cannot guarantee their availability. All of your meals are included in your itinerary with a variety of traditional Ethiopian fare on offer alongside international dishes. 6 Introduction to our Monasteries and Landscapes of Ethiopia tour Introduction to our Monasteries and Landscapes of Ethiopia tour A change in eating habits when travelling abroad can often lead to an upset stomach and unfortunately a visit to Ethiopia is no exception. If you do become sick it can make some of the long drives rather uncomfortable and impact on your overall enjoyment of your journey. To minimise your chances of becoming unwell we recommend that you only drink bottled water and ensure that your food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly. We also advise caution when eating shellfish, raw vegetables and salad as they may have been washed in tap water. Finally, we recommend packing some Imodium - just in case. We find that liquid hand sanitiser and wet-wipes are really useful to carry around. The unvarnished truth We aim to provide accurate and detailed information to make you aware of all the aspects of the journey you are undertaking. Some facts that you should be aware of are outlined below: There are a number of early starts in the itinerary. This is done in order to capture the best part of the day for a particular site, to avoid crowds, or to fit everything in to the day. For this reason we have built in time at leisure, often in the middle of the day or in the afternoon, when you can relax. Internal flight schedules are often changed at short notice. Generally times only alter by an hour or two, but changes are sometimes more serious. If any of your flights are changed after booking we will notify you before you travel and amend the itinerary accordingly. Serious changes can result in additional costs which in some cases will have to be met by you. Tourism in Ethiopia is still in its infancy and the standard of accommodation outside of the capital is still developing. Most new hotels are aiming to attract diplomats and professionals for a few days extension to their business trips in Addis and so are built in an international hotel style with little charm or character. We have deliberately avoided these whenever there is a suitable character alternative. A common theme through Ethiopia is uncomfortably hard beds which is worth bearing in mind before booking this trip if you struggle with a bad back or find it difficult to sleep on a firmer mattress.

Summer Time, begins and ends. A blank DST box usually indicates that the location stays on Standard Time all year, although in some cases the location stays on Summer Time all year. If a location is currently on DST, add one hour to the time in the Time column. To determine how much and in which direction you will need to adjust your watch, first adjust the time offsets of your source and destination for DST if applicable, then subtract the offset of your departure city from the offset of your destination. For example, if you were flying from Houston (UTC−6) to South Africa (UTC+2) in June, first you would add an hour to the Houston time for DST, making it UTC−5, then you would subtract ­5 from +2. +2 ­ (­5) = +2 + (+5) = +7, so you would need to advance your watch by seven hours. If you were going in the opposite direction, you would subtract 2 from ­5, giving you ­7, indicating that you would need to turn your watch back seven hours.

His photographs have been featured in publications such as Australian Geographic, Australian Photography Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Australian Geographic, Reader’s Digest and more.

He is a Master Photographer of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography, the Leica Akademie Principal Instructor and helps ‘committed enthusiasts’ take the photos they have been dreaming of in workshops held in far- flung locations around the world. Trip Summary This trip to Ethiopia takes in the iconic highlights of Ethiopia. We start in historic Lalibela. The town is famous around the world for the rock-hewn churches carved into the living rock in the 12th and 13th century, during the reign of Gebre Mesqel Lalibela. These churches still hold regular services and we will get the opportunity to photograph both the exterior and interiors. The highlight of this part of the trip will be the Sunday Service, attended by hundreds of locals. From Lalibela we travel to the Simien Mountains, the "Roof of Africa". Here we will stay in the highest altitude hotel on the continent and photograph the unique grazing Gelada Baboons amidst the fragrant Thyme meadows at the tops of the cliffs.

Ironically, the disparity between the failure of states to sign on to and implement certain multilateral agreements, and escalating cultural loss is particularly significant in the Mediterranean region, because of the cultural wealth located in the Mediterranean Sea and the countries which surround it.

Visits to ancient monasteries and churches combined with spectacular high mountains and the Blue Nile provide visitors with everlasting memories of an ancient land with a history stretching far back into the mists of time.

    EXPLORING ETHIOPIA 8 - 21 FEBRUARY 2020 Tour Leader: Andy Bunten UNVEIL AN ANCIENT LAND OF MYSTERY AND LEGEND Ethiopia is a fascinating and complex country, unlike any other place in the world. This journey through northern Ethiopia unveils an ancient land steeped in mystery and legend. It is a land full of extraordinary religious relics and highland scenery of unsurpassed grandeur. From Addis Ababa, the capital, we fly to Axum, seat of one of the foremost empires of the ancient world. Here we glimpse the ‘dawn’ of Ethiopian civilisation (400BC) and visit the ruins of Yeha. High in the Lasta Mountains, we visit Lalibela, the ‘New Jerusalem’, with its extraordinary ‘sunken’ churches carved from solid rock. In Gondar, we explore the country’s imperial heritage and architecture before driving north into the majestic Simien Mountains. Experience this soaring mountain range with its rocky crags and pinnacles, plunging chasms, lush river valleys and endemic wildlife. Our remarkable journey ends at Lake Tana, source of the Blue Nile and the setting for numerous monastic island settlements.
