Wild Frontiers is a pioneering, award winning travel company that specialises in taking small groups of it’s discerning clientele to places that don’t tend to be part of the popular tourist trails and return offering them a unique experience, and one of the places on its itinerary is Ethiopia. Inviting potential travellers to look beyond the usual headlines of a no go area defined by famine and poverty, Wild Frontiers acknowledges a country of dramatic landscapes from flat topped mountains to cascading waterfalls and one that is overflowing with culture. With tours scheduled periodically through to 2013, itineraries can see guests: take a languid boat trip on Lake Tana taking in hippos basking on the banks of the lake and pink flamingoes as you make your way across; or explore the well preserved castles of Gondor that date back to the 17th century Ethiopia is a country brimming with ancient monasteries, castles and churches hewn out of the surrounding rock; or trek through the spectacular Highlands offering some stunning panoramic views whilst visiting villages along the way; and when you’ve had your fill of sightseeing pass through the bustling daily markets to pick up some reminders of your trip and later unwind to jazz fusion sounds in a jazz bar in Addis Ababa.
