This week on the Travel Show, Chris is on location in Ethiopia – the Land of Origins! Ethiopia the birthplace of humanity, based on fossil hominid finds in its deserts. It also played a significant role in the rise of both Christianity and Islam. For Victorian explorers their goal was to discover the source of the Nile - well the origin of the Blue Nile is also here in Ethiopia in Lake Tana. And importantly for any caffeine addicts - it was also the birthplace of coffee...and still produces exquisite brews as a signature welcome to visitors all over the country. Ethiopia is an ancient country whose unique cultural heritage, rich history and remarkable biodiversity is reflected in nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites - more UNESCO designated sites than any other country in Africa. Everything here is different and often wonderful. It is, quite simply, the most original country on the planet!
