WARNING: The security situation in Ethiopia is volatile, especially in the west of the country and along its international borders. There are armed conflicts going on in several regions, including risk of air strikes, and risk for terrorism, violent crime and kidnapping in additional areas. Civil unrest, including protests and strikes, or government response, could deteriorate quickly and without warning.
Travelers to Ethiopia (Amharic: ኢትዮጵያ ʾĪtyōp yā) experience a country divided into two: in the north and east the focus is on cultural heritage, while in the south there are several national parks and lakes in the area of the East African Rift with their flora and fauna as well as the habitat of several indigenous peoples.
Ethiopia is Africa's third-most populous country (after Nigeria and Egypt), oldest independent country and one of only two never colonised by a European power, save for a short Italian occupation in the 1930s and 1940s.
