The Wildlife and Cultures of Ethiopia Adventure (see www.redfernadventures.com) takes in the most incredible wildlife and cultural locations which Ethiopia has to offer.
During the itinerary, we visit Lalibela to see the eleven rock-hewn monolithic churches that have been referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".
These incredible buildings are carved out of the bedrock.
St. George's is the most spectacular and is cruxiform (cross shaped) and even has cruxiform pillars inside.
The current church has been dated to the late 12th or early 13th century AD, and thought to have been constructed during the reign of King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela, of the late Zagwe dynasty.
Exploring all eleven churches one of the greatest cultural experiences in Africa. Often, we find priests inside the churches, chanting ancient prayers and psalms.
No where in the world are history and culture so vivid as Ethiopia!
