Short Description

  • Short Description of the tour

    There are several museums in Addis Ababa worth visiting, but the best of them is National Museum, mainly because of its anthropological exhibition, where you can see fossils of Lucy, Australopithecus Afarensis, about 3 million 180 thousand years old.
    There is also ethnographic museum, located in the territory of Addis Ababa University, in the territory of the former palace of Emperor Haile Selassie I. It is one of the best such museums in the world. Special attraction of this museum is Emperor’s bedroom with original furniture and personal belongins of Haile Selassie.
    In Ethiopia there are over 40,000 Orthodox churches. In Addis Ababa tourists usually visit two of them. St. George Cathedral, built by Emperor Menelik I in 1898 after glorious victory of Ethiopia over Italian colonial army at the battle of Adowa, is designed in a traditional Ethiopian style. It is decorated by paintings of famous Ethiopian artist. Holy Trinity Cathedral, built in shape of a basilica, is a burial place of Emperor Haile Selassie and his wife Empress Mennen.
    Full day tour in Addis Ababa takes 7 to 8 hours. It also includes lunch in a traditional Ethiopian restaurant and souvenir shopping.

    Helena is a guide of highest qualification, her excursions and tours and thought out to the tiniest detail, her stories about Ethiopia, its towns, nature, history and people are most interesting, enthralling and informative. Her choice of hotels for us during our tour is flawless: they were really best quality hotels. DUring the trip we didn't have to worry, since all was well organized, attached, thought out and calculated. We were pleased to see how local people relate to us and our guide (hotel employees, local guides, airport staff, drivers, museum and church caretakers, priests and guards). We saw heartwarming expression of friendship, attachment and gratitude. This is because Helena loves this country and we understand reasons of this love, too
