nile

Blue Nile Ethiopia is both breathtaking and extraordinary, a country perched on a high plateau in a region known as the Horn of Africa. This land of striking natural beauty, isolated by geography for centuries, has culture and traditions date back over 3000 years. Long known as abyssinia, it stands between the cultures of the Mediterranean and the tribal people of the African heartland who inhabit areas that boast the origins of umankind. The rich history of the country dates back to the Queen of Sheba and is visible today in ancient tombs, rock-hewn churches, colourful festivals and near-stone age tribes.Ethiopia is a country of vast geographical contrasts and covers an area as large as France and Spain combined.Spectacular mountains rise to over 4000 metres, downpours drench thick rainforests and where the forbidding Danakil depression dips below sea level, temperatures soar to create one of the hottest places on earth. It is a land of extremes and of remote and wild places. Much of the country remains inaccessible to all but the most adventurous travellers but the great rivers that dissect the country provide corridors to some of the least visited areas on the continent. Our river journeys on the Blue Nile and Omo rivers are as fascinating and exciting as the country itself.
