Egypt
The Great Pyramids of Giza guarded by the Sphinx; the Valley of the Kings; the great Temples of Abu Simbel, Karnak and Luxor - mere words do not adequately describe these ancient wonders. As rulers of the ancient world for over 2,500 years, Egypt's legacy of earthly power and divine afterlife is unrivalled. The once powerful pharaohs would have it no other way.

Ethiopia
Few places offer such a myriad of experiences for the traveler as Ethiopia. Much of the fascination of this country lies in its many historical sites. According to legend, the first Ethiopian king, Menelik, was the son of the biblical King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba! Ethiopia also has nine national parks, protecting many of its endemic species. The ancient tribal culture compliments the unique history and nature of Ethiopia. Experience tribal cultures such as the Hamer, the Mursi and the Dorze, whose traditional lifestyle is a stark contrast to our modern life.
We explore Ethiopia, using the capital of Addis Ababa as our base. We travel to the historic north to see the Blue Nile Falls before taking a boat journey across the Blue Nile. Click here for more information!
