The Holy Week in Ethiopia

The Holy Week in Ethiopia

I spent 10 days in Ethiopia over the Orthodox Easter Holy Week. This was a trip of stunning landscapes and fascinating cultural experiences. Visiting the holy cities of Axum and Lalibela during the time of Easter celebrations was an incredibly rewarding experience. Hiking through the Simien Mountains took us through one of the most incredible mountain ranges I have visited thus far. This album is a mix of landscapes, people, monkeys and historical landmarks.

It is home to 4/5 of the 'Big 5' which includes Lions, Leopards, Buffalo, Elephants and Rhino's. They are called the Big 5 not because they are the biggest (although they are amongst the biggest), but rather because they've been hunted for something of perceivable value in the past. Sadly, there are no more Elephants at Nairobi National Park.

I travelled to Kampala from Nairobi by overnight bus and spent the next 7-days exploring western Uganda, primarily to see the Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi National Park from the Rushaga basecamp. Western Uganda is a beautifully lush green landscape with fertile ground that is said to have the capacity to “feed the world”. Ugandan’s are incredibly friendly and welcoming, known across East Africa for their beaming smiles.
