For many of us, the exotic images of Ethiopia were etched into our minds many years ago within the iconic pages of National Geographic magazine. Continuing our rich tradition of offering distant and exotic eclipse destinations to travelers around the world, we at TravelQuest invite you to join us, on an extraordinary lifetime journey to the amazing land that is Ethiopia. To travel to the very places Geographic writers and photographers did so many years ago; to see and photograph ourselves, these same amazing images, to witness the November 3, 2013, 11-second sunset total solar eclipse, from our viewing site in southern Ethiopia, just kilometers from the Kenyan border.
 
The only African country never to have been colonized, Ethiopia maintains a culture and history totally it's own. On this journey we will visit ancient churches and monasteries that are still used by the local people to this day. We will journey into some of the most remote corners of Africa to engage with the local communities of Hamer, Konso and other tribes.
 
In today's world it is seldom one finds a destination like Ethiopia, which offers so much historically and culturally, and yet is so relatively unvisited by outsiders. In spring 2011, TQ’s 2013 Ethiopia Trip Logistic Leader, Michel Girardin, and renowned eclipse meteorologist, Jay Anderson, joined me as we explored the wonders of Ethiopia, and
   
 
  identified our prime view spot for the 11-second November 3, 2013 eclipse.
 
We take the time and expense to properly prepare for each TravelQuest eclipse experience. You can join us with confidence knowing that we have sought out the very best activities and accommodations in each destination we visit, and that extensive planning has gone into our eclipse viewing site selection.
 
Those of you that traveled with us to Madagascar in 2001, Libya in 2006 and China's Silk Road in 2008, know that taking a tour along the road less traveled is sometimes filled with challenges. Ethiopia will be no exception. But like those journeys of the past, the rewarding memories and extraordinary moments shared, in so special a place as Ethiopia, make for a lifetime experience you will never forget.
 
If you've ever dreamt of visiting Ethiopia, now is your moment. Come, experience Ethiopia's ancient past, incredible present, and witness a total solar eclipse!
