Best places to see in Ethiopia

Ethiopia’s  uniqueness makes it a fascinating best vacation places to go for every kind of traveller, but in particular for the traveller who wants to discover ethiopia.

The  Blue Nile Falls and lots of Lakes Tana, Rift Valley. Ethiopian coffee is one of the best coffee in the world. But people are concerned about Malaria in Ethiopia, so this is the place where they will find information about places to avoid.  Lots of natural Lodges in Ethiopia, and volcanic places.
1. The Simien Mountain National Park (North Gondar Zone)
The Simien mountain is one of the major highlands of  Africa,  rising to the highest point in Ethiopia, Ras Dejen (4620m), which is  the fourth  highest peak in the continent. Although Simien is in Africa and not too far from  the equator, snow and ice appear on the highest points and night temperatures  often fall below zero.
 
The national park has three general botanical regions. The  higher lands are mountain grasslands with fescue grasses as well as  heathers,  splendid Red Hot Pokers and Giant Lobelia. The park was created primarily to  protect the Walia Ibex, and over 1000 are said to live in the park. Also in the  park are families of the unique Gelada Baboon with its scarlet ‘bleeding heart  on its chest,’ and the rare Simien fox. The Simien fox, although named after the  mountains is rarely seen by the visitor. Over 50 species of birds have been  reported in the Simien mountains.
 
Access to the park is from Debark, 101km from Gonder, where  riding and pack animals may be hired. This should be arranged in advance through  your local tour operator or the Office of the Wildlife Conservation Department.

2. The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela (North Wollo Zone)
Lalibela, 642 kilometres from Addis Ababa, is  internationally-renowned for its rock-hewn churches which are sometimes called   the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Physically prised from the rock in which they stand, these monolithic churches were originally thought to have been built in  the 12th century during the reign of King Lalibela. StayLalibela is an initiative of the hospitality industry in Lalibela. It aims to enhance the experience of visitors, and to ensure that they maximise their stay. The hospitality industry, together with the local authority, has worked hard in recent years to reduce the number of unlicensed guides. StayLalibela strongly advises visitors to use licensed guides only, and especially advises against using children as guides. By using licensed guides, visitors are helping to build sustainable tourism in Lalibela. In addition, visitors can be assured of a much more positive experience when they use a licensed guide: licensed guides are trained and possess correct and quality information about the churches; landscape and birds and other attractions in the vicinity. All licensed guides are members of the Lalibela Guide Association.
3. The Castles  of Gondar and other monuments (Gondar)
748 kilometres from Addis Ababa is  the graceful city of Gondar, founded by Emperor Fasilidas in 1635. The city  was Ethiopia's capital until the reign of the would-be reforming Emperor  Tewodros II, also known as Theodore. During its long years as a capital city,  the settlement emerged as one of the largest and most
popular cities in the  realm. It was a great centre of commerce, trading with the rich lands south of  the Blue Nile, as well as with Sudan to the west, and the Red Sea port of  Massawa to the north-east.
4. Axum historical and archaeological sites, central Tigray (Tigray Region)
Axum historical and archaeological sites, central Tigray (Tigray Region)  Rightly famous for its obelisks, Axum was the capital of the Axumite kingdom – once one of the four kingdoms of the world. It was also home to the Queen of  Sheba whose ruined palace and bathing pool can still be found in and near the  town.
5. Tiya pre-historical and  archaeological sites, central Tigray (Tigray region)
The natural beauty of  Ethiopia amazes the first-time visitor. Ethiopia is a land of rugged mountains  (some are over 4000 meters high) broad savannah, lakes and rivers. The unique  Rift Valley is a remarkable region of volcanic lakes, with their
famous  collections of birdlife, great escarpments and stunning vistas. Tisisat, the  Blue Nile falls, must rank as one of the greatest natural spectacles in Africa  today. With 14 major wildlife reserves, Ethiopia provides a microcosm of  the  entire subsaharan eco-system. Birdlife abounds and indigenous animals from the  rare Walis Ibex to the shy wild ass roam free just as nature intended. Ethiopia,  after the rains, is a land decked with flowers and with many more  native plants  than most countries in Africa. Among the many natural tourist attractions, only  the principal ones are briefly given below.
6.The Blue Nile Falls (Tisisat Falls)
The River Nile, the  longest river in Africa, in Ethiopia. From Lake Tana, the Blue Nile, known locally as Abbay, flows from Ethiopia to meet the white Nile in Khartoum to form  the great river that gives life to Egypt and the Sudan. It has been said that  the Blue Nile contributes up to 80% of the Nile’s flow. Nowhere is it more  spectacular than when it thunders over the Tisisat Falls near Bahar Dar. Here millions of gallons of water cascade over the cliff face and into a gorge, creating spectacular rainbows, in one of the most awe-inspiring displays in Africa, earning its name ‘Smoking Water’. The Blue Nile falls can easily be reached from Bahar Dar and the Scenic beauty of the Blue Nile Gorge, 225KM from Addis Ababa, can be enjoyed as part of an excursion from the capital.

The Blue Nile

Lake Tana, the largest  lake in Ethiopia is the source of the Blue Nile from where it starts its long  journey to Khartoum and on to the Mediterranean. The 37 islands that are  scattered about the surface of the Lake shelter fascinating churches and  monastries, some of which have histories dating back to the 13th Century. However, it should be noted that most of the religious houses are not open to women. The most interesting islands are: Birgida Mariam, Dega Estefanous, Dek, Narga, Tana Cherkos, Mitsele Fasiledes, Kebran and Debre Maryam. Kebran Gabriel is the principal monastery which can be visited by male  tourists from Bahar Dar with its impressive Cathedral-like Building first built at the end of the 17th Century. Dega Estephanos, which is also closed  to women, is on an island in the lake, and is reached by a very steep and  winding path. Although the church is relatively new (only one hundred years  old), it houses a Madonna painted in the 15th century. However, the treasury of the nastery is a prime attraction with the remains of several emperors, as well as their robes and jewels. On the banks of the  lake are many more religious houses such as Ura Kidane Mehret and Narga Selassie, many of which are open to women. Near Gorgora, at the  northern end of the lake, the Susneyos palace is a forerunner of the magnificent  palaces and castles of Gonder, and dates from the reign of Emperor Susneyos. In  the same area the medieval church of Debre Sina Mariam is particularly  important.


A sail or cruise on  Lake Tana is one of the most pleasant excursions for visitors to this  region,  particularly in the heart of the summer. Boats can be hired from the Marine  Transport Authority in Bahir Dar. Along the lakeshore bird life, both local and  migratory visitors, make this an ideal place for birdwatchers. Bird lovers will  not want to miss Fasilidas island, which is especially famous as an important  wetland. The whole of the lake Tana region and the Blue Nile Gorge have a wide  variety of birds both endemic and visitors. The variety of habitats, from rocky  crags to rain forests and important wetlands, ensure that  many other different  species should be spotted.

The Sof Omar Cave
Sof Omar is one of the  most spectacular and extensive underground cave systems in the world. Formed by  the Wabi River as it changed its course in the distant past and carved out a new  channel through limestone foothills, the Sof Omar systems is an extraordinary natural phenomenon of breathtaking beauty. The cave which is now  an important Islamic Shrine was named after the saintly Sheikh Sof Omar who took  refuge here many centuries ago. The cave has a religious history that predates  the arrival of the Muslims in Bale – a history calculated in thousands of  years.

The Rift Valley
 The Ethiopian Rift  Valley, which is part of the famous East African Rift Valley, comprises numerous  hot springs, beautiful lakes and a variety of wildlife. The valley is the result  of two parallel faults in the earth’s surface, between which in distant  geological time, the crust was weakened and the land subsided. Ethiopia is often  referred to as the ‘water tower’ of Eastern Africa because of the many rivers  that pour off the high tableland. The Great Rift Valley’s passage through  Ethiopia is marked by a chain of seven lakes. Each of the seven lakes has its  own special life and character and provides ideal habitats for the exuberant  variety of flora and fauna that make the region a beautiful and exotic  destination for tourists.


Most of the lakes are  suitable and safe for swimming and other water sports. Lakes Abiata and Shalla  are ideal places for bird watchers. Most of the Rift Valley lakes are not fully  exploited for tourists except lake Langano where tourist class hotels are built.  The Rift Valley is also a site of numerous natural hot springs and the chemical  contents of the hot springs are highly valued for their therapeutic purposes  though at present they are not fully utilised. In short, the Rift Valley is  endowed with many beautiful lakes, numerous hot springs, warm and pleasant  climate and a variety of wildlife. It is considered as one of the most ideal  areas for the development of international tourism in Ethiopia.

National Parks:
Ethiopia is  also a land of natural contrasts, from the tops of the rugged Simien mountains  to the depths of the Danakil Depression, at 120 meters below sea level one of  the lowest dry land points on earth. The cornucopia of natural beauty that  blesses  Ethiopia offers an  astonishing variety of landscapes: Afro-Alpine  highlands  soaring to around 4,300 meters, deserts sprinkled with salt flats and  yellow sulphur, lake lands with rare and beautiful birds, moors and mountains,  the  splendor of the Great Rift Valley, white-water rivers, savannah teeming  with game, giant waterfalls, dense and lush jungle  the list is  endless. Ethiopia's  many national  parks enable the visitor to enjoy the country's scenery and its wildlife,   conserved in natural habitats, and offer opportunities for travel adventure  unparalleled in Africa.

The Awash National  Park
 Lying in the lowlands  at the east of Addis Ababa and striding the Awash River, the Awash National Park  is one of the finest reserves in Ethiopia. The Awash river, one of the major  rivers of the horn of Africa, waters important agricultural lands in the north  of Ethiopia and eventually flows into the wilderness of the Danakil Depression.  The dramatic Awash Falls, as the river tumbles into its gorge, is the sight not  to be missed in the national park. Awash national park, surrounding the dormant  volcano of Fantale, is a reserve of arid and semi-arid woodland and savannah,  with riverain forests along the Awash river. Forty six species of animals have  been identified here, including beisa oryx and Swayne’s heartbeest. The bird  life is prolific especially along the river and in the nearby lake Basaka and  there are fine endemic amongst the 392 species recorded. A special attraction is  the beautiful clear pools of the Filwoha hot springs.

The Omo National Park
One of the most beautiful national parks in Ethiopia, its 4068 km of wilderness bordered by the Omo river, is home to an amazing range of wildlife. 306 species of birds have been identified here, while large herds of eland, some buffalo, elephants, giraffe, cheetah, lion, leopard, Burchell’s zebra are not uncommon.

The Mago National Park
The Mago National Park is relatively undeveloped for tourists. The broad  grasslands teem with herds of buffalo, giraffe, elephants and kudu, while  sometimes it is possible to find lions, leopards and Burchell’s zebra. The  abundant bird life here is typical of dry grasslands and river banks.

Gambala National Park
In these areas many  interesting species of animals and birds can often be seen by the visitor. According to the wild life information office, Dowsett Forbs has identified 813 species of birds, 596 residents and 224 regular seasonal migrants in Ethiopia.

The Bale Mountains National Park
The Bale  Mountains,  with their vast moorlands - the lower reaches covered with St.  John's wort- and  their extensive heathland, virgin woodlands, pristine mountain  streams and alpine climate remain an untouched and beautiful world. Rising to a  height of  more than 4,000 meters, the range borders Ethiopia's southern  highlands, whose  highest peak, Mount Tullu Deemtu, stands at 4,377  meters.
The  establishment  of the 2,400-square-kilometre Bale Mountains National Park was  crucial to the survival of the mountain nyala, Menelik's bushbuck and the Simien  red fox. This  fox is one of the most colorful members of the dog family and  more abundant here than anywhere else in Ethiopia. All three endemic animals  thrive in this environment, the nyala in particular often being seen in large  numbers. The Bale Mountains offer some fine high-altitude horse and foot  trekking, and the streams of the park - which become important rivers further  downstream - are well-stocked with rainbow and brown trout.

The Simien  Mountain National park 
The Simien  Mountain  massif is a broad plateau, cut off to the north and west by an  enormous single crag over 60 kilometers long. To the south, the tableland slopes  gently down to  2,200 meters, divided by gorges 1,000 meters deep which can take  more than two  days to cross. Insufficient geological time has elapsed to smooth  the contours of the crags and buttresses of hardened basalt. Within this   spectacular splendor live the Walia (Abyssinian) ibex, Simien red fox and Gelada  baboon - all endemic to Ethiopia - as well as the Hamadryas baboon,  klipspringer and bushbuck. Birds such as the lammergeyer, augur buzzard,  Verreaux's eagle, kestrel and falcon also soar above this mountain  retreat.

Ethiopian coffee
There is a popular Ethiopian legend wherein coffee is discovered by a goat herder named Kaldi, who found his goats frolicking and full of energy after eating the red berries of the coffee shrub. Kaldi tried the berries for himself and had a similar reaction. After witnessing their strange behavior, a monk took some of the berries back to his fellow monks; they too spent the night awake and alert. Of course, they would have been reacting to coffee’s high dose of caffeine. This natural stimulant also serves as an inborn plant pesticide, protecting the coffee berries from insects. Before coffee became our morning beverage of choice, it appeared in a variety of different preparations. In its most basic, unprocessed form, coffee is a cherry-like fruit, which becomes red when ripe; the coffee bean is found at the center of the red coffee berry. Early on, the berries were mixed with animal fat to create a protein rich snack bar. At one point, the fermented pulp was used to make a wine-like concoction; incidentally, a similar beverage was made from the cacao fruit, before the advent of chocolate, which goes to show that humans are especially adept at finding new ways to imbibe. Another drink that appeared around 1000 A.D. was made from the whole coffee fruit, including the beans and the hull. It wasn’t until the 13th century that people began to roast coffee beans, the first step in the process of making coffee as we know it today.
The word “coffee” has roots in several languages. In Yemen it earned the name qahwah, which was originally a romantic term for wine. It later became the Turkish kahveh, then Dutch koffie and finally coffee in English.

Malaria in Ethiopia
Background
More than 75% of the total area of Ethiopia is malarious, making malaria the leading public health problem in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence rate and the associated socio-economic, geographic and demographic factors of malaria based on the rapid diagnosis test (RDT) survey results.      
Methods
From December 2006 to January 2007, a baseline malaria indicator survey in Amhara, Oromiya and Southern Nation Nationalities and People (SNNP) regions of Ethiopia was conducted by The Carter Center. This study uses this data. The method of generalized  linear model was used to analyse the data and the response variable was the presence or absence of malaria using the rapid diagnosis test (RDT).     
Results
The analyses show that the RDT result was significantly associated with age and gender. Other significant covariates confounding variables are source of water, trip to obtain water, toilet facility, total number of rooms, material used for walls, and material used for roofing. The prevalence of malaria for households with clean water found to be less. Malaria rapid diagnosis found to be higher for thatch and stick/mud roof and earth/local dung plaster floor. Moreover, spraying anti-malaria to the house was found to be one means of reducing the risk of malaria. Furthermore, the housing condition, source of water and its distance, gender, and ages in the households were identified in order to have two-way interaction effects.      
Conclusion
Individuals with poor socio-economic conditions are positively associated with malaria infection. Improving the housing condition of the household is one of the means of reducing the risk of malaria. Children and female household members are the most vulnerable to the risk of malaria. Such information is essential to design improved strategic intervention for the reduction of malaria epidemic in Ethiopia.
