Ethiopia
Once called Abyssinia, is the only African country that escaped colonial rule. It has a recorded
history of over 3000 years and far earlier than that we find proof that 'Lucy' or Dinknesh, the
oldest hominid, whose remains were found in Ethiopia's Great Rift Valley, lived here. Dinknesh,
from which our company takes its name, literally means 'you are wonderful'.
In addition, there are nine world heritage sites, one of which is known as the eighth wonder of the
world, representing nature, architecture, archaeology, prehistory, art, culture and much more.
