How about a trip to Ethiopia

Of all the countries on earth, few project such stark images of desporation and poverty in the way Ethiopia does… or at least did. Shaking this stigma however is not done easily, and while harrowing, the images from the severe droughts and famines of the 80’s, are at contrast with the majority of the country’s physical geography and current way of life. High mountain ranges, the Great Rift Valley, waterfalls on the Blue Nile, with abundant wildlife and numerous shrines and temples throughout the country, make for an enticing visit. November is warm and sunny across the majority of the country and a fantastic time of year to visit a land often grossly misrepresented by past media broadcasts.
