Ethiopia

Steeped in history, Ethiopia is a melting pot of religion, culture, awe inspiring scenery and unique wildlife. From the breath taking Simien mountains to the molten lavas of Eta Arle’, from the rock hewn churches of Lalibela to the palace of Hailie Selassie, Ethiopia is the land of extremes offering truly unique experiences. Dave Simpson Safaris will open your eyes to a whole new world.
