Destination Ethiopia- a real adventure!

Our 14-day Ethiopia expedition is the newest addition to our range of destinations, and is certainly one of the most unique and adventurous destinations we go to! With a fascinating, ancient history and awe-inspiring landscapes and wildlife, Ethiopia has so much more to it than what many of us may have seen on TV or in the news.

Project work with Link Ethiopia

Teams start off their adventure by spending five days with World Challenge's partner charity, 'Link Ethiopia'. All our expedition teams work with this charity to ensure projects are completed and sustained, and jobs will involve continuing work to improve the learning conditions for students. This may include building classrooms, installing toilet blocks or repairing desks and benches...be prepared to get your hands dirty!!




Local guides on the Bale Foothills trek

After the project is a real highlight of the expedition- a five day trek in the Bale Foothills, a place very few people and travellers have discovered and explored. This trek will be completed by travelling on both foot and horseback- teams will decide which! Alongside the guides the teams will also decide each day which hut to trek to, whether to stay in huts or tents, and what food to cook and eat! Along the way is a wide range of landscapes and wildlife, and challengers can learn about the culture and language of the country through their local guides.

As with all our expeditions teams will have the opportunity to celebrate their achievements on a few days of well-deserved r&r at the end! Teams will visit the famous Rift Valley and get the chance to chill at Awash National Park.

Overall this expedition offers a great opportunity to experience an exciting country and culture with a rich history, and explore Ethiopia's beautiful and undiscovered landscapes- suitable for those looking for a real adventure!!
