Ethiopia is the home of some of the most exotic ancient civilizations in the world, and the land where some of our earliest human ancestors have been discovered.  From its Orthodox Christian heritage in the Central Highlands, to its Islamic areas near Sudan and in the East, to the traditional tribal people of the South, touring Ethiopia with Original World offers a diversity and confluence of cultures that creates a fascinating African tourism experience. 

The country's Northern landscape is dotted with old ruins and wonders: ancient sculpted towers, Arab-influenced walled towns and early churches carved out of solid rock.  Awe inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Holy city of Axum and the rock-hewn churches in Lalibella create an unforgetable Ethiopian tourism experience.  

Our guided, small group Ethopian tours also explore the wild places such as Semien National Park and Mago National Park. The home of lions and hippos and untamed rivers, Mago National Park is one of the least visited game parks in the world and an amazing safari adventure. In the Omo Valley, we encounter the tribal cultures of the Hamer, the Mursi and the Dorze, known for their elaborate face and body adornments.  Participants in Original World small group tours enjoy close personal interaction with many different people from the diverse cultures of Ethiopia. Tour members will be greatly enriched by sharing a part of the daily lives of the different Ethiopian tribes.
