Bradt€™s Ethiopia provides the most comprehensive coverage of any English-language guidebook on the market, with in-depth coverage of hotels and tourist facilities and more detailed information on wildlife, national parks and trekking routes than any other book. This fully updated guide reveals an ancient country that continues to surpass all expectations: from the ancient Judaic cultures of the fertile highlands to the colorful animist people of the South Omo Valley. Tourism has grown rapidly in recent years.

From the Back Cover:

With typically infectious enthusiasm, Philip Briggs introduces a country whose endearing people and rich heritage confound common expectations of desert and drought. Comprehensive background information and full details of "new" off-the-beaten-track locations--like the highlands of the Guassa Plateau, refuge to the endangered Ethiopian wolf--make this the essential guide to a country full of surprises.
