With its elevated Abyssinian plateaus isolated by 25 over 4000-meter summits, its lengthy savannahs dotted with acacias, its salt and lava volcanoes, its Great Rift Valley lakes populated by a multitude of birds species and its powerful rivers, Ethiopia will amaze you by its colourful diversity. But the most moving are doubtless the people who have been shaping the land for centuries: the Amharas, the Oromos, the Afar, the Mursi, the Hamar, the Borana… Orthodox, muslim or animist - Ethiopia constitutes an astonishing spiritual shelter for many religions… This diversity keeps surprising and delighting visitors who have to learn to understand their common identity, beyond the regional disparities.
