People Of Ethiopia Photographs
Ethiopia offers up some of the most beautiful and photogenic people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Here are some interesting facts on Ethiopia;
- - Ethiopia is the Worlds most populous landlocked country +- 95 million.
- - Ethiopia the second most populated country in Africa.
- - Ethiopia derives from the Greek word "ethio", meaning burned and "pia", meaning face.
- - 70 different languages are spoken.
- - 80 different ethnic groups.
Needless to say, the people of Ethiopia are more than often fine with being photographed although it is always polite to ask first and a small tip is not always a bad thing. Your guide will advise you on what and what not to do.
All photographs have been taken by us here at Uyaphi.com with the sole purpose of showcasing the people of this amazing country, Ethiopia.

Palace Of Haile Selassie
Haile Selassie, King of Kings, Lion of Judah, by the grace of God, Emperor of Ethiopia. Quite a mouthful of a title for a single man or, as the Rastafarians would have it, the son of God. So awe-inspiring are the adjectives that you would have expected him to live in a magnificent palace made of the finest Carrara marble or a granite stone castle in the tradition of Gondar.Visiting The Lalibela Rock Churches
Your correspondent has been travelling in Africa for over three decades. I feel that I know sub-Saharan Africa; its smells, its peoples, its geography and its wildlife. Ethiopia is different, as different as snow is to sand. So different that you could get a very sharp knife and detach it somewhere in the Red Sea because it is not similar to any of its Arab world neighbours either.Where To Travel In Ethiopia
New on Uyaphi.com is our Travel in Ethiopia portfolio featuring safaris and tours to this somewhat new African safari destination; we are very excited about Ethiopia and all that she has to offer. Think of Ethiopia as a more cultural safari destination than what one is used to in Africa.
