Ethiopia’s climate is typically very mild, with temperatures on the wide-ranging highlands averaging below 20°C. Only on the lowland fringes of western, eastern and southern Ethiopia can temperatures soar past 30°C.
The heaviest rains traditionally fall June to early October, making the rest of the year prime time to visit. Directly after the rains the highlands are wonderfully green, covered with wildflowers and sublime for trekking.
Ethiopia’s storied and sovereign history has left its wide-ranging and fertile highlands laden with historical treasures, ranging from the ancient tombs and obelisks of Aksum to 17th-century castles and burnt-out Russian tanks. Many are more than a peek into the nation’s past; they are a giant two-footed leap. Ethiopia’s landscapes are no less dramatic, and range from the Simien Mountains National Park and Bale Mountains National Park, which proffer tremendous trekking and innumerable interactions with dozens of animals and birds seen nowhere else on earth, to the Danakil Depression in Northern Ethiopia, an enchanting and unforgivingly hostile environment offering extreme adventure. The remote lowlands in the sultry southwest are also home to untold adventures and house some of Africa’s most fascinating tribes.
Forested mountains and lush valleys, fertile agricultural areas, beautiful beaches and islands, a plentiful array of plants and wildlife. Enjoy Thailand’s boundless natural heritage. For a true appreciation of Thailand’s natural treasures, a visit to a national park is a must on your itinerary… with hundreds of waterfalls spread throughout Thailand, these are the gems among the country’s natural attractions. Typical traditions and much of the culture of Thailand comes from the rivers. A cruise along one of the country’s lifelines offers an unbeatable view of the Thai way of life.
There’s so much to do in Thailand … elephant rides, markets, waterfalls, caves. Further afield… boatride through Laos, islands of southern Thailand, trekking in one of the local provinces. Perhaps take some time out and enjoy a few days relaxing at a pristine beach resort and take advantage of all the water sports on offer. Plus don’t miss lively Bangkok for some retail therapy!
