A travel narrative by Md. Sakhawat Hossain recounts a six-day journey through Ethiopia, beginning with the arrival at Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport. The writer describes the capital as a blend of modernity and history, highlighting visits to the National Museum of Ethiopia, home to the ancient fossil ‘Lucy,’ and the Entoto Hills, where the Entoto Maryam Church stands as a symbol of spiritual serenity.

The journey continues through Awash National Park’s rugged savanna, the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela known as ‘Africa’s Jerusalem,’ and Bahir Dar’s tranquil Lake Tana, source of the Blue Nile. The traveler also visits the Blue Nile Falls and the Simien Mountains National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic cliffs and rare wildlife such as the Gelada baboon and Ethiopian wolf.

Reflecting on the experience, the author portrays Ethiopia as a living canvas of history, nature, and humanity, where every landscape and encounter reveals a deeper connection between people and their ancient land.
