A newcomer to travellers' lists of countries to visit, Ethiopia is gradually being discovered. What it lacks in wealth, it makes up for in stunning landscapes, friendly people and a refreshing lack of tourists. The mountains are home to ibexes, baboons, the Ethiopian wolf and a whole plethora of wildlife, while the towns hold century-old ruins. Surprised? Prepare to be!
For a nation recognised as one of drought and famine, the inspiring natural beauty of Ethiopia will surprise any visitor. Volunteers are needed in the northern city of Gonder to assist with education and community initiatives.
