Ethiopia, February, 2020
In February we returned to Ethiopia for our 3rd visit. We headed north to Gondar and returned to the Semien Mountains after 25 years! Then we explored the far north regions of Tigray and Afar, visiting Khafta Shiraro, Axum, Gheralta, the Danakil Depression, Erta’Ale Volcano and Alli Degh. We finished with our 3rd visit to Awash National Park. For more details see our blog at:
