Journey Through Ethiopia - Africa Travel Documentary
Ethiopia is one of Africa’s most beautiful and fascinating countries, and a surprising travel destination. From spectacular mountain landscapes and national parks to vast lakes and mysterious deserts. From incredible wildlife to intriguing historic landmarks. From vibrant, fast growing cities to small villages and tribal regions, steeped in culture and traditions.
In this documentary style video, I will show you 10 beautiful places I visited, on a one-month journey through Ethiopia in 2019. I remember the smiles and welcoming attitude of the people, the incredible food, remarkable monuments, the stunning natural and urban landscapes. In all fairness, this was one of my best travels yet.
Sadly, however, at the time of editing this video, Ethiopia is in political and military conflict with the Northern Tigray region, which is causing great suffering to ordinary civilians. Like most people, I hope the relevant authorities can come to an agreement soon, and start rebuilding this beautiful land.
As a result of the conflict, some of the places in this video are currently inaccessible due to high security concerns. Always follow travel advice and consult local guides, to avoid putting yourself and others at risk.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We start this journey in the small city of Lalibela, a deeply spiritual town popular with Ethiopian Orthodox Christians. The awe-inspiring monolithic churches are the highlight here, but meeting the many pilgrims is equally, if not more, rewarding. After Lalibela, we venture to the mysterious Danakil Depression, one of the hottest and most inhospitable places on Earth. It’s a bizarre desert landscape, with salt lakes, volcanoes, sulfur springs, and acidic pools. It feels like true adventure travel, but can only be done with experienced tour companies and guides.
The rock-hewn churches of the Tigray region are something unique, and Abuna Yemata Guh may be the most special of them all. This place of worship can only be reached on a steep and sometimes terrifying hike, but rewards travelers with incredible views, and a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The site is managed by several clergymen and priests.
The spectacular Simien mountains offer some of Africa’s best chances for hikes and longer treks, and are also home to the gelada baboons, nicknamed as ‘bleeding heart monkeys’. They live in troops and can live high in the mountains.
After spending some time in the nature, we continue our journey in Gondar, a friendly city with stunning historic monuments. Perhaps even more impressive is Aksum, with some of Ethiopia’s most iconic historic and religious sites, such as the towering obelisks (or stelea), and the Church of Saint Mary of Zion (which, according to legend, is the hiding place of the Ark of the Covenant, in a small chapel).
Addis Ababa is often overlooked by travelers, who rush themselves to the North and South of the country. But the vibrant capital city is an interesting place to spend a couple of days, and serves as a good introduction to Ethiopian culture and food. There are some great areas to be visited, including the famous Mercato, the largest market in Africa.
After Addis, we travel to the South of Ethiopia, which feels very different in many ways. The first stop here is Arba Minch, known for its wonderful Nechisar national park. Here, you can take boat trips on one of Ethiopia’s largest lakes, and spot crocodiles, pelicans, hippos, baboons and other wildlife. The Dorze village is not far from here, and offers a peak into traditional village life. Its friendly inhabitants have created a sustainable form of tourism, and visitors can witness (and take part in) the local economy at work, with cotton weaving, pottery, coffee ceremonies, bread production, and much more.
We finish this journey in the Omo Valley, which is home to many different ethnicities and tribes. It’s important to travel with local guides here, as these destinations often risk turning into so called ‘human safaris’. While tourism can have a positive effect on people’s lives, it’s crucial that it happens in a respectful and meaningful way.

The Unearthly Scenery of Dallol, Danakil Depression, Ethiopia [Amazing Places]
Dallol is the hottest inhabited area on Earth, and also one of the most remote places on Earth. It is located in a depression, at more than 100 meters bellow sea level. Dallol has one of the most unearthly sceneries on the planet, due to its acidic hot springs, sulphur, salt, iron oxide, and other minerals, small gas geysers and pools of acid.

The Hottest Place on Earth | Danakil Depression - An Active Volcano
Also, a Gateway To Hell & Land of Human Origins
This place seems more alien than Earth-like. The Danakil Depression in Ethiopia is one of the hottest and harshest environments on Earth. Not only being the hottest place on the planet it is also one of the most remote, which is BELOW the sea level.
Also, a 3.2 million years old fossil of our human ancestor - Lucy was also found here.

Ethiopia: A Development Story
Rick Steves' Europe © 2020 | Venturing beyond Europe, and with local experts as his guides, Rick uses Ethiopia as a classroom for understanding global hunger and extreme poverty — and how to beat it. Together, we witness the importance of water, education, empowering women, and nutrition during a child's first thousand days. And we see firsthand the impact of globalization and climate change. Our souvenir: A vivid appreciation of how ending hunger is possible — and how smart and modern development aid is the key. #ricksteves #ethiopia

Ethiopia by HandZaround
'Ehtiopia' is a personal project of travellers HandZaround.com funded in majority by them and created in their free time.
Read more about the film here:
'Green highlands, barren deserts, impassable lowlands, sparkling waterfalls, glistening lakes, bustling towns. We can’t describe Ethiopia with one word, unless we reach for ‘diversity’.
‘Ethiopia’ takes you on a journey off the beaten track through Northern lands of the country. It offers you a glimpse into the life of Amharic people living in the highlands, a chance to take part in important religious celebrations of Meskel, and a visit through a myriad of majestic Ethiopian landscapes, varying from the hottest desolate reds of Danakil Depression, to tremendous Blue Nile Falls, to the colourful mixture of cultures that you can find in the country’s capital, Addis Ababa.
Although the film is our personal tribute to this unique and vast country, it was impossible to include all that Ethiopia comprises of. We have yet to visit the South, East and West of Ethiopia. For more information about the places featured in the film, head to the article on our website:
handzaround.com/journal-1/ethiopia-travel-film
We are of course aware that Ethiopia consists of Muslim population, and other religions, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time and funds to represent the whole cultural, religious and natural landscape of Ethiopia.
In our description and in our understanding the word 'diverse' applies mainly to Ethiopian geography ('Green highlands, barren deserts, impassable lowlands, sparkling waterfalls, glistening lakes, bustling towns. We can’t describe Ethiopia with one word, unless we reach for ‘diversity’ '), and in our opinion Ethiopia is very diverse in that sense, especially in comparison to the countries we come from.'

Rock-Hewn Churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia [Amazing Places]
The 11 medieval monolithic cave churches were built or rather carved from the rock by king Lalibela in the 13th century to create a 'New Jerusalem'. In the video: walk around the 11 Lalibela churches, beginning with a morning mass at Bet Giyorgis, and following with Bet Medhane Alem, Bet Maryam, Bet Danaghel, Bet Gabriel-Rafael, Bet Emanuel, Bet Abba Libanos. At the very end - Yemrehanna Kristos church, located in a natural cavern, 40 km from Lalibela, predating the Lalibela churches by a century. The Lalibela Rock Hewn churches are UNESCO World Heritage site.

Papua New Guinea has one of the highest crime rates on the planet. Papua New Guinea is an island half as big as France but with a road network that practically does not exist. There are just 3 main roads that are barely tarmac and yet road transport is vital for the country.

EXTREME ISOLATION: The Most Remote Inhabited Places on Earth
North Sentinel island is located far into the Indian Ocean in the chain of islands called the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which is a territory of India. The island is about the size of Manhattan and its illegal to travel here because the island is home to the planet’s most isolated hunter-gatherer society.
The Sentinelese tribe could range anywhere from 15-500 people but there’s no way of knowing for certain. What we do know is that they do not wish to be contacted as they have resisted any and all contact with the outside world for up to 60,000 years. Nothing is known about their language, they hunt with bows and arrows and they are completely untouched by modern civilization. Today’s so-called un-contacted people all have a history of contact, whether from exploitation or simply seeing a plane flying overhead. What I’ve come to realize is that there are no people who are isolated by accident or have somehow managed to stay completely unaware of the modern times- it’s more that there is this deep rooted fear or defiance of the outside world. Also, the Sentinelese and other isolated tribes around the world are extremely vulnerable to any foreign contact because they have virtually zero immunity to our diseases and could very quickly be wiped out by the exposure.
Pitcairn Island is a British Overseas Territory situated 3,300 miles from New Zealand and no plane or helicopter has ever landed there, so getting there requires a 32-hour cargo ship journey. In the 1700’s this island was settled by a real life ship full of mutineers. The mutineers were running from British Naval ships when they found the uninhabited Pitcairn Island and decided to hide there by sinking their ship after they landed. Today there are around 50 people living on Pitcairn Island which is not much larger than Central Park.
Tristan da Cunha island is said to be the world’s most remote inhabited archipelago which also happens to be on an active volcano. The closest other people to this little town is 1200 miles away in St. Helena and it's 1700 miles away from South Africa. Can you imagine living there?? There’s less than 300 people who call this place home which still feels like a surprising amount of people.
La Rinconada, Peru is the highest human habitation in the world, and it is home to some of the most brutal living conditions in the world. The town is built at an astonishing height of 16,700 feet. The town is accessible only by braving a dangerous mountainside road covered in ice and the journey can take several days. Its unclear exactly how many people live in La Rinconada because there’s a totally lack of government regulation but it’s estimated to be as many 50,000 live here. The motivation to live in this harsh landscape? Gold mining.
The Russian town of Oymyakon also known as the coldest inhabited place on earth. It takes two days to get there, traveling down a barren and isolated stretch of road from the closest city in Siberia. Temperatures there average around -58° F during the winter months in this area of Northeastern Russia. Daylight only lasts for 3 hours in the winter but it’s light out for 21 hours in the summer. Around 500 people live in this remote community!!
