Injera is the Ethiopian basic food. While visiting a local family, you will be able to bake a flatbread made from millet dough yourself.
The city of Lalibela is considered as the Jerusalem of Africa and is world-famous for its rock-hewn churches. You will have the opportunity to visit the churches on several days. On two days you will be accompanied by a guide.
