Ethiopia Photo Essay

By Savannah Grace on November 4, 2016 • ( 2 Comments )

When people think of Ethiopia they may imagine poverty, barren earth and children with flies crawling around their eyes. We travelled overland through Ethiopia from Kenya into Sudan. The Ethiopia we saw over three weeks was full of big smiles, gorgeous, green and mountainous landscapes. We camped in the country and met wonderful people. Listening to the crying hyenas at night outside our tents and the truck was something out of a movie. Ammon loved Ethiopia so much that he went back a couple years later to experience more of this fantastic country! He was lucky enough to see an active volcano and feed hyenas!
