First, visit the National Museum of Ethiopia, which contains some of the best and most diverse exhibitions. The archeological exhibitions include Lucy (Dinkinesh, 'beautiful' in the local vernacular), a 3.5 million-year-old Australopithecus Afarensis hominoid woman. In 1974, Lucy's fossil revealed that our ancestors walked 2.5 million years earlier than imagined, rewriting our genealogy. The National Museum features several exquisite pre-Axumite artifacts. Next, visit St. George's Cathedral. Near the northern end of Churchill Road. The Cathedral, erected in 1896 in the usual octagonal shape to honor Ethiopia's victory over the Italians in the Battle of Adwa, has Afewerk Tekle's stained-glass windows from the Africa Hall. Drive to Entoto to explore Shiromeda market, one of the main Ethiopian traditional clothing markets. Continue driving to the peak to see Mount Entoto's stunning city view. Final stop.

Debre Libanos is an important monastic center for Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, the monastery there was founded by the renowned 13th century mystic, Saint Teclehaimanot and there is a small cave near the church (which is of recent construction) where he is said to have stood for seven years on one leg, until the other wasted away and dropped off. On arrival at Debre Libanos, we will first stop at the Jemma gorge. The Jemma River is one of the tributaries of the Nile, and there is a drop of nearly 1000 meters to the valley below. Here at the gorge (and in the forest around the church) we can expect to see the Banded Barbet, the Black-headed Forest Oriole, the White-billed Starling, the Red-billed Starling, the White-winged Cliff Chat, the White-backed Black Tit, the White-cheeked Turaco and Hemprich’s Hornbill. We will also see one of Ethiopia’s endemic mammals, the Gelada or bleeding-heart baboon.

This safari takes you to Chebera-Churchura National Park, one of Ethiopia’s largest and least-visited wildlife reserves—meaning fewer visitors, more wildlife, and a truly authentic safari experience. Unlike crowded safari destinations, Chebera offers vast open landscapes where animals move freely and sightings feel natural, not staged. The tour combines game drives, waterfalls, and guided walking experiences, giving you a deeper connection to the park’s ecosystems. With two nights inside the park at Chebera Lodge, you stay close to wildlife and enjoy early-morning and late-afternoon safari moments when animals are most active. Travel is smooth and well-organized with domestic flights to Jimma, comfortable private transportation, and an experienced local guide who knows the park, animal behavior, and best viewing areas. The journey ends in comfort at Haile Resort Jimma, offering a relaxing contrast after days in the wilderness.
