What To Expect

National Museum of Ethiopia

Ethiopia’s National Museum is the country’s premier museum, showcasing its rich artistic and cultural heritage. With diverse exhibits, it offers a fascinating glimpse into Ethiopia’s past and present. The museum features four main sections, the most famous being the Paleontological exhibit, home to *Lucy* (or *Dinkinesh* in Amharic, meaning "wonderful"). This 3.5-million-year-old fossil of *Australopithecus afarensis*, discovered in 1974 in Hadar, Afar, revolutionized our understanding of human evolution. The first floor displays ancient and medieval artifacts, including royal regalia and memorabilia from former rulers like Emperor Haile Selassie. Another section presents Ethiopian art in chronological order, from traditional to contemporary works, while the third floor features an extensive ethnographic collection. A visit to this museum is a journey through Ethiopia’s remarkable history and culture.

Soddo Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Trinity

The Holy Trinity Cathedral, also known as *Kidist Selassie*, is one of Ethiopia's most significant religious landmarks. Located in the heart of Addis Ababa, it serves as the primary cathedral of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Built during Emperor Haile Selassie's reign and completed in 1942, the cathedral is a stunning blend of traditional Ethiopian and European architectural styles. The cathedral is renowned for its beautiful stained-glass windows, intricate murals, and grand dome. It houses the tombs of Emperor Haile Selassie, Empress Menen Asfaw, and other prominent figures in Ethiopian history. The site is a major pilgrimage destination and a symbol of Ethiopian Christianity, attracting both worshippers and tourists. Surrounded by lush gardens and smaller chapels, the Holy Trinity Cathedral remains a spiritual and historical treasure, reflecting Ethiopia's deep religious heritage and cultural pride.

    Our customized private tour was amazing. We have a very short time period to work with and our guide Henock was very accommodating. He did a wonderful job explaining the history of the country and the culture of the people. His explanations at the National Museum were very detailed and we learned so much. This was time well spent!

  • Quick and Fascinating Tour of Addis Ababa!

    We had a great time with Henock! He is very energetic and passionate about Ethiopian culture and history. He knows so much so hit him with all your questions! Henock and our fantastic driver (Masfen) were very flexible around our layover schedule and after picking us up from the airport, made sure we got to visit the museum, Mt Entoto, Merkato, and we even finished off the tour with Ethiopian coffee. It was a quick tour but very interesting and informative!

  • Addis Ababa beyond the screen saver.

    Really enjoyed the private trip in a very spacious van. Excellent, very knowledgeable tour guide Henok. Started with a cup of coffee at the oldest coffee house. Loved the National Museum meeting Lucy. Grateful for Mass at church. Visited St Mary's Orthodox church. Learned about the rich and proud history of Ethiopia. Traditional Ethiopian lunch was excellent. Very clean and morden city. Exceeded my expectations.
