From the Group CEO

Welcome Aboard Dear Esteemed Guests,

የተከበራችሁ ውድ ደንበኞቻችን፣

April 8, 2019 marked our 73rd year of successful service between Africa and the rest of the world. In this long journey, we have navigated through many daunting challenges such as dealing with the price volatility of crude oil, various epidemic diseases, civil wars, natural disasters and economic cycles. However, we have successfully stood the test of time and turned the challenges into opportunities while connecting Africa to the rest of the world and itself. As a Pan-African airline, we have been contributing our share towards the socio-economic development of the continent. Ethiopian Airlines was the first and only African airline connecting Africa with China since 1973 and led the way to the current vibrant trade, investment and tourism partnership between Africa and Asia in general and China in particular.

As an old and independent civilization with a rich history, natural and cultural beauty, our country Ethiopia has a lot to offer international tourists. Despite this potential, our tourism industry has not developed as much as we would like it to. Our government has started new initiatives to develop the tourism industry by making it one of the priorities of the economic sectors. Ethiopian Airlines is taking the new initiative as a golden opportunity to play a catalyst role to redouble its efforts in Ethiopian tourism development. To this effect, in collaboration with Ethiopian Immigration, we have created the e-visa platform. The visa on arrival facilities have also been upgraded.

Our in-house tour operator, ET Holidays, is also teaming up with our ultra-modern 5-Star Ethiopian Skylight Hotel, having 373 rooms and strong network of more than 120 international destinations, to package air travel, hotel and visa products to sell to tourists. Hence, travel and tourism to Ethiopia has been made easier, simpler, faster and more comfortable than ever before. On your flight today, I invite you to watch a short documentary video on Ethiopian Tourism.

Unfortunately, the month of March was one of the most challenging moments in our history of service. The entire Ethiopian family, our nation, and the world at large are mourning the loss of our dear customers and beloved colleagues who were on board flight ET302. While more than 370 B-737 MAX airplanes have been grounded all over the world since the accident, the preliminary investigation report confirmed that our pilots performed their duties as per the recommended procedures. We will always remember all who were on the flight. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost their loved ones.

We, at Ethiopian, are determined as ever before to forge ahead with our continued growth and expansion agenda. As a true Pan-African airline, our strategy of multiple hubs is developing regional carriers in many parts of the continent. In addition to ASKY and Malawi Airlines, we have established Ethiopian Mozambique and Tchadia airlines.

Discussions are also under way to establish Zambia Airways and a home base carrier in Ghana. We have also recently added Manchester, Moscow and Istanbul to our growing international network. Before the end of 2019, we plan to launch services to Houston, USA and Marseille, France.

As you travel with us in great numbers this summer, my 16,000 colleagues will do their best to exceed your expectations and serve you better.

THE SOUTH KOREAN AUTO GIANT JOINS OTHER INTERNATIONAL CAR MANUFACTURERS WHO ARE BUILDING ASSEMBLY PLANTS IN THE COUNTRY Earlier this year, an assembly of Ethiopian and Korean government officials joined Haile Gebrselassie, Ethiopia’s Olympic long-distance running legend, and executives from Hyundai to celebrate the inauguration of the South Korean carmaker’s first Ethiopian assembly plant. The project is a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Company and Ato Haile’s Marathon Motors, which has been the exclusive importer of Hyundai vehicles

into Ethiopia since 2009. The factory launched with the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year and ambitions to supply cars not just for the domestic market, but to neighboring countries as well.

Hyundai is the latest in a series of international automotive companies that have opened Ethiopian assembly plants over the past decade, drawn by the country’s growing economy and rising demand for locally-assembled automobiles, which are free of the high import taxes associated with imported cars. Chinese car companies were the first to set up Ethiopian assembly operations, most prominently Lifan Motors, as well as Geely, FAW and BYD. In 2016, French automaker Peugeot inaugurated a plant in northern Ethiopia, and Volkswagen recently signed an agreement with the Ethiopian Investment Commission, committing to establish an assembly plant, component manufacturing and training facilities in the country.

in Houston

As a result of the decades of research and missions at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Houston has become a major global hub for aviation and aerospace business, with over 200 companies in these sectors calling Houston home.

In recent years, the commercial space industry has emerged as a major segment of this industry, with private companies engaging in many of the activities that were previously exclusively in NASA’s domain.

Naturally, Houston is becoming a leading center of activity for emerging commercial space ventures.

H O U S T O N S PA C E P O R T Last year Houston’s city council approved $19 million in funding to help transform an aging airport in the southeast of the city into the world’s first urban spaceport. This 400-acre facility will eventually be a base for launching commercial satellites, research vessels and even tourists into space. The spaceport will also be home to hypersonic airplanes that would be able to make transatlantic flights from Houston in just a few hours.

SPA CE H O T E L S O F T H E F U T U RE Several commercial space companies have emerged in recent years, most of them owned by billionaire founders of large tech companies, with the goal of developing spacecraft that will eventually fly tourists beyond the stratosphere.

But where will the tourists stay once they are in space? Two Houston-based firms are working on developing the first “space hotels,” which will offer luxury amenities while orbiting Earth.

Orion Span’s Aurora Station will offer space travelers a 12-day space trip during which they can watch over 300 sunrises and sunsets.

Another company, Axiom Space, has hired designer Philippe Starck to design the cabins for its planned commercial space station, which could welcome visitors as soon as 2022.

SPA CE CO M SpaceCom is the only conference in the world that brings together all space enterprises, from government agencies and aerospace companies to scientists and space tourism startups. Held every November at Houston’s George R. Brown Convention Center, SpaceCom features a variety of learning and business opportunities, including the SpaceCom Entrepreneur Summit, where startup space companies can pitch their ideas to investors.

The Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme: Transforming Africa through Agriculture Agenda 2063 recognises that for the continent to develop national and regional efforts on development need to be coordinated and consolidated to ensure collective benefit for Africans. Several continental frameworks have been developed to address the development of key sectors such as Agriculture, trade, transport, energy and mining; sectors which are seen as key in enabling Member States of the Union to achieve their development goals.

One of the key Agenda 2063 continental frameworks is the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP), which is a continental initiative to help African countries eliminate hunger and reduce poverty by raising economic growth through agricultureled development.

The agricultural sector employs about 60% of Africa’s labour force thus positioning it as the key sector that can transform livelihoods if the right level of investment is provided. Africa spends more than US$40 billion annually on food imports and without intervention, net import levels will likely increase to over US$100 billion by 2025. This means that Africa as a continent will contribute to the creation of more jobs and business opportunities outside than inside the continent.

There is a need to radically shift the perception about the key role agriculture plays and ask what changes could be envisaged on the continent if the US$40 billion spent on imports was invested in agriculture to create more jobs and business opportunities on the continent.

Through CAADP, African governments agreed to allocate at least 10% of national budgets to agriculture and rural development, and to achieve agricultural growth rates of at least 6% per annum.

Underlying these main targets are targets for reducing poverty and malnutrition, for increasing productivity and farm incomes, and for improvements in the sustainability of agricultural production and use of natural resources. CAADP also supports member states to enhance resilience to climate variability through development of disaster preparedness policies and strategies and early warning response systems and social safety nets.

CAADP has 4 priority areas namely: 1.

Extending the area under sustainable land management and reliable water control systems 2.

Improving rural infrastructure and trade-related capacities for market access 3.

Increasing food supply, reducing hunger, and improving responses to food emergency crises 4.

Improving agriculture research, technology dissemination and adoption CAADP promotes inclusive participation of all sector players and has brought agriculture to the forefront of development discourse. It has contributed to more specific and incentive-oriented agricultural policies.

In addition CAADP places emphasis on African ownership and African leadership to set the agricultural agenda and the stage for agricultural change. This change emphasises Africans truly being the drivers of CAADP, rather than the more typical case of leadership and direction coming from donors or other international partners. CAADP is thus an inward looking policy framework where African leaders who have championed CAADP in their countries can influence their counterparts towards agricultural transformation

To promote accountability, the CAADP Results Framework provides Africa and its partners with a set of goals and results to be pursued in the transformation of the agriculture sector. It gives the political and technical impetus to foster policy alignment and harmonization of interventions geared at advancing the agriculture transformation agenda. It articulates the targets to be achieved by 2025, and provides the set of associated indicators. Accordingly, the Framework serves as a basis for promoting evidence-based policy and programmatic design, implementation, reporting, accountability and learning. According to the 2015 Annual Trends and Outlook Report by the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS) CAADP is having a positive impact on food and nutrition security in countries that are implementing it. Several African countries such as Rwanda, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso and Sierra Leone report significant reduction in food insecurity due to targeted programs emerging from CAADP priorities.

Currently, over 40 countries have formally launched CAADP; including 30 countries that have signed national CAADP compacts. AU Member States also commit to report on a biennial basis, their progress in achieving the CAADP commitments. To support the tracking and reporting on agricultural achievement

MICROENSURE

BLUEWAVE INSURANCE

BIMA

Founded in 2002, Londoner Richard Leftley created MicroEnsure to provide insurance for the large proportion of the world’s population for whom such products are unavailable. However, in order to create this new market, Leftley had to radically change the insurance business model. The result? Basic products were given free to mobile subscribers, and consumer education helped upsell bigger products. MicroEnsure has now registered more than 56 million people in emerging economies for insurance, paying out over $30 million in claims. It has introduced new forms of protection for customers, including microhealth, political-violence, crop, and mobile insurance.

Offering ‘shockingly affordable insurance’, Nairobi-based Bluewave Insurance creates mass-market microinsurance products that are primarily accessible via mobile devices. Currently over 70% of Kenyans earn less than USD 300 per month and are locked out of accessing insurance because of the high cost of conventional insurance. Founded in 2015, CEO Adelaide Odhiambo’s aim, by designing technology-driven products that are accessible with even the most basic feature phone, is to use insurance to help Kenya and the greater East African Region reach global sustainable development goals and improve living standards.

With a bespoke portfolio of over 40 microinsurance and mobile health products, Swedish startup Bima is making life, accident and health insurance accessible in developing countries for less than $1 a month using mobile phone technology. Bima’s customers sign up via a phone call or SMS by answering a few questions, then paying three, six or 12 month premiums using their mobile credit. Now in its ninth year of operations, the firm has attracted more than 27 million subscribers and operates in 16 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America.

The rise of microinsurance How an asset-light, pay-per-use insurance model is attracting a new segment of customers around the world Access to insurance is one of the basic financial services which low-income individuals lack around the world. However, an innovative new model of ‘microinsurance’ is emerging, to help the working poor manage the risks that they face in everyday life. Piggybacking off the microfinance boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s, microinsurance breaks down insurance in its traditional form. Instead of offering broad policies, this model focuses on insuring individual risks such as a single event or excursion. This allows low-income consumers to only pay for the very specific insurance they need.

Microinsurance can be administered in any number of ways; through licensed insurance agents, community organizations, micro-finance institutions and other non-governmental organizations, as well as a new breed of microinsurance startups. The three fast-growing microinsurers listed above are leveraging technology to deliver insurance products that help keep lives and small businesses moving forward in the face of unexpected hardship.

CAPE TOWN

AWAITS YOU

There is no better time to visit Cape Town, than now. With Ethiopian Airlines offering almost daily flights from Addis Ababa, access to South Africa’s Parliamentary Capital is now a mere flight away.

Welcome! We invite you to share in the blessings of this wonderful country of ours. Allow us to introduce you to our places of wonder – places that not only fill us with great pride, but that take our breath away time and time again. Allow us to share our favourite hangouts, restaurants, markets, hidden treasures and historical sites, that tell our rich cultural stories.

Found along South Africa’s south western coast, Cape Town – or the Mother City as it is fondly known - is the second-largest city after Johannesburg. It is home to Robben Island, Table Mountain, scenic winelands, magnificent beaches, world-class restaurants and cosmopolitan lifestyles.

A trip to Cape Town is incomplete if you don’t visit one of the city’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Robben Island.

UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee chose to mark this location for its “triumph of the human spirit”. Guided tours are offered by former prisoners, who give you a firsthand account of life on the island. Catch a ferry ride to “The Robben Island Museum”. The standard tour starts at the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V&A Waterfront and the

tour will take around 3.5 hours in total (the boat ride is half-an-hour one way).

The V&A Waterfront is situated in the heart of Cape Town, where the mountain meets the sea, and it has been a working harbour since 1860, when trade routes to the East transformed the seafront into a lucrative trading post. The V&A Waterfront is home to 450 retail outlets which offer everything from homeware and fashion to electronic gadgets and curios from local and international brands alike. And if the shopping becomes too much, you can enjoy some of the many other activities on offer. These include seal watching; a visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium or the Maritime Museum; boat trips around the harbour and along the coast; or an exciting helicopter tour!

Eating out in Cape Town is easy - the city’s natural abundance of land and sea combined with cultural diversity ensure that there are menus to suit all palates, religious dietary requirements and price ranges.

However, if it’s a home away from home meal you crave, then the Little Ethiopia Restaurant, owned by Ethiopian national Yeshi Mekonnen on Shortmarket Street will soothe you with divine servings of fresh injera, shiro, tibs, doro wot and vegetarian dishes.

the beat of the continent follows – whether it’s a nightclub in Cape Town’s Long Street, an African jazz concert in the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or the thump of a township ghetto blaster – it is an eclectic meeting of colorful people, contagious energy and endless appeal. We South Africans can’t live without some kind of catchy beat in the background.

But, you’d be missing out if you didn’t try our homegrown cuisine – we’re talking about a good old fashioned braaivleis (barbequed meat) or chisa nyama with all the trimmings, a Cape Malay curry to make your heart sing or an enormous platter of piri piri prawns served up with a view of the ocean.

And when it comes to song and dance, you’d be hard pressed not to feel the rhythm of Africa when you visit our shores. Wherever you go,

Getting here Ethiopian Airlines offers daily flights from Addis Ababa to Cape Town. Tourists from Ethiopia require a visa when travelling to South Africa. If you are travelling with minors (18 years old and younger) please be sure to visit the SA Embassy website to ensure you have the correct documentation prior to applying for your travel visa.

Languages English is the primary language, widely spoken as a first, second or third language here! But to really get a feel of our people and our way of life, try using the local slang like “lekker” (nice); “yebo” (yes); and “Mzansi” (a popular local term for South Africa).

Where to stay From Cape Town’s waterfront hotels to luxury apartments along the beachfront, a variety of star graded accommodation options are available to suit all preferences and budgets.

Visit the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa’s website for a catalogue of all quality assured establishments in Cape Town www.tourismgrading.co.za

Getting around There are many welcoming and accredited tour operators who can assist you with all your land arrangements. Alternatively, you may hire a car at the airport car rental offices.

The City with its vibrant, fascinating and rich history, culture and heritage; is ready to be explored, photographed, loved and remembered by you and your family. Cape Town is where you will enjoy so much more, for far less than you thought possible. Malkam guzo yehunelachu.

ndia’s hospitality scene, alongside the country's growing design and architecture scene, has evolved at an astonishing pace over the past decade. From restored palaces in Rajasthan to new urban boutique hotels in Mumbai, the subcontinent is now leading on an international scale. It is a fitting tribute, therefore, that a new coffee table Glorious Hotels of India has just been published, capturing this zeitgeist with a hand-picked collection of the subcontinent’s most spectacular places to stay. Written by British travel journalists, Cosmo Samuel Brockway and Harriet Compston, the book gives a grand yet intimate tour of 40 properties, with half of the hotels being recent openings.

The authors spent over five years researching, travelling and writing the book. Accompanied by captivating images

by Karam Puri, Glorious Hotels of India explores each room, suite and garden with a curious eye and shares the most enchanting touches. Portraits of owners and staff add a fascinating human element. With insightful and meticulously researched material, this is indeed a ‘glorious’ book – and a homage to the splendor of India.

TAJ MAHAL PALACE

/ M U M B A I

The beating heart of the city of Mumbai, Taj Mahal Palace is an iconic hotel treasured by locals and visitors alike. Built and funded by Parsi industrialist Jamsetji Tata at the dawn of the 20th century, the first stone was laid in 1898. Four years later, as the work neared completion, Tata scoured New York and Paris, where he ordered spun pillars for the ballroom and the front porch, still seen today.

An elaborate, seven-tiered structure of Gothic, Islamic and Rajasthani architecture, topped by a glittering Florentine dome, The Taj was the first building in Mumbai to be lit by electricity. The hotel soon became the playground of Indian royalty who paraded in a horse-drawn carriage in the courtyard, now a swimming pool shaded by mature palms. Further down the line, the hotel housed freedom fighters (for no charge) during the struggle for independence. It was therefore apt that the viceroy, Earl Mountbatten, announced India’s independence from here.

Regarded as the finest hotel in the city, the 560-room Taj is a favorite destination for visiting dignitaries and celebrities.

Four thousand works of art, mostly

antique, line the walls. Every detail, from the Belgian chandeliers to the pietra dura inlay on the lobby floors, gleams with pride, creating a backdrop to the cavalcade of life and joyous celebrations that take place almost every day.

The Taj’s opulent approach continues in the kitchen. There are four finedining restaurants, including Wasabi

by Morimoto, recognized as one of Asia’s 50 best restaurants, which offers Japanese delicacies with ingredients specifically flown in from Japan.

Cocktails can be found at Harbour Bar, the first licensed lounge bar in the city.

Just like Mumbai, the Taj Mahal Palace continues to be an unstoppable force, hypnotizing every soul who has a taste of it.

ABODE

/ M U M B A I

Abode, one of Mumbai’s first boutique hotels, is a haven of calm in the heart of the city. Tucked away above an elegant cafe in the 100-year-old Lansdowne House in Colaba, the property pays homage to the city’s heritage, from old Bombay to modern Mumbai. It is therefore apt that the current owners, the Shams, have a neighboring antiques store.

Opened in 2013, the Shams wanted to create a property with the city at its center. The result is a hip boho-chic hideaway reflecting the multilayered nature of Mumbai. The lobby, with a 19thcentury chandelier, leads into the library corner, inspired by the old booksellers of Fort, with their tiny spaces stacked with books. A neon lighting installation at the entrance celebrates the urban facade with a quote from Bombay native Rudyard Kipling. The café serves snacks inspired by the city’s street food such as bhelpuri.

The 20 rooms are decorated in a color palette taken from terracotta chai pots and pistachio sweets. Bedside tables have been made from chaat stands.

Reclaimed Burma teak, rescued from demolished houses, is used as flooring.

Bathroom doors, made of salvaged wood, feature mismatched patterned frosted glass, with four of the rooms sporting free-standing bathtubs. Fabrics have been largely sourced from vintage saris. Colonial and art-deco furniture, some rescued from Mumbai’s scrap yards, dot the hotel.

The Shams’ heart for the city doesn’t stop at the design. The property works with a school for the blind that provides massage therapists. There is a womenonly driving service. Any leftover soaps are donated to a nearby NGO that works with underprivileged women.

As Mumbai continues to blossom, Abode is an important reminder of how the ‘city that never sleeps’ can retain the magic of a bygone era while grasping hold of a bright future.

TIKLI BOTTOM A pale pink Lutyens-inspired bungalow nestled in a valley just an hour’s drive from central Delhi, Tikli Bottom is a unique two-acre idyll, created in the 1990s by Martin and Annie Howard, who made this corner of India a sanctuary for man, beast and bird.

Martin, formerly Rolls-Royce director in Delhi, decided, upon retiring, not to return to England. Instead, along with his wife Annie, he built a home just outside the village of Teekli, a few miles from the suburb of Gurugram.

The amusing name stems from ‘bottom’ being the archaic word for a lowlying piece of land.

The first glimpse of Tikli is seductive – the arching trees, the crescent-shaped swimming pool flanked by a pair of pale pink classical pavilions, the flashing peacocks, and the serenity of sinking into a soft armchair with an ice-cold nimbu pani. The four bedrooms are placed around a pillared courtyard where most

The interiors are an eclectic echo of colonial style, with a light touch of humor and warmth among the antique furniture, mirrors and silver. Four-poster beds are draped in gauze nets and elegant block prints. Jaipur blue pottery sits alongside Country Life magazines and books on Indian history.

Meals are taken au plein air with the Howards joining their guests for wideranging conversations. The organic food is locally sourced with treats such as cheese and claret imported via Delhi. The kitchen garden supplies the table in abundance and the homemade buffalo-milk yoghurt served at breakfast is courtesy of Martin’s treasured buffaloes. But, above all, Tikli is a place to do nothing, slowly and blissfully – the perfect soft landing to the subcontinent or delicious last course to any adventure.

THE LEELA PALACE

/ N E W

The opening of the 254-room Leela Palace hotel in 2011 saw Delhi gain its grandest hotel in recent memory, and its location at the heart of the cosmopolitan Embassy district is a fitting one.

The story of the Leela brand is both inspiring and a fable of modern India.

Founder late Captain C. P. Krishnan Nair was born into a modest family in Kerala.

After joining the Indian Army, Nair rose to the rank of captain and married Leela, an industrialist’s daughter, after whom he would name his future hotel group. While pioneering the handloom industry in India, Nair ventured into hospitality at the age of 65. The first Leela hotel opened to great excitement in Mumbai in 1987, and was followed by the Leela Goa, the Leela Palace Bangalore and the Leela Kovalam.

Captain Nair’s swansong, the Leela Palace New Delhi, is inspired by the clean-lined elegance of Lutyens’ Delhi, with a dash of continental opulence and Indian chutzpah. Unique features include the 1,400 pieces of art, mainly 32

Indian, that adorn the property as well as mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture and astonishing custom-made chandeliers.

Over 12,000 fresh flowers are brought in daily (and donated to an NGO who convert them into eco-friendly vegetable dyes). There are three restaurants: signature Indian dining space, Jamavar, with royal dishes such as nihari mingling with the memorable Alleppey meen curry, with coconutmilk gravy and a hint of sour mango.

Megu, with its striking glass Buddha, serves Japanese delicacies, while the panelled Le Cirque is French-Italian with a touch of Manhattan.

A monument to a great man, a great marriage and a great city, the Leela Palace New Delhi perfectly represents the new India, with her vibrancy, commitment to social change, and grand celebration of spirit and hospitality – just as Captain Nair destined it to be.

ITC GRAND BHARAT

/ G U R U G R A M

Spread across 1.2 sq. km of lush land and surrounded by working farms, India’s first all-suite resort is seated in the lap of one of the world’s oldest mountain ranges, the Aravalli Range.

Only a 45-minute drive from Delhi, ITC Grand Bharat in Gurugram opened in November 2014, adding to ITC Hotels’ already indomitable portfolio, spanning the subcontinent.

Constructed in the shape of a mandala, ITC Grand Bharat pays tribute to a variety of Indian architectural styles.

This begins with the gently-curved arch at the entrance, inspired by the 10th-century Mukteshwar Temple in Odisha. The elaborate pink-and-cream

sandstone facade of the property is influenced by Baroda’s Laxmi Vilas Palace, while the adjoining pillars are adapted from the renowned Adalaj stepwell in Gujarat.

The 104 suites are a further display of India’s heritage and culture – separated from the main building by a water channel named ‘Yamuna’, the surrounding steps replicas of the ghats of Varanasi. Decorated in light colors, the suites feature detailed woodwork, rich fabrics and hand-tufted carpets lining the marble flooring.

Food takes guests on another journey.

Inspired by the national bird of India, the Peacock Bar – with its molecular cocktails whipped up on a colonialstyle bar – sets the scene. European dishes are enjoyed in the India Room, a picture of royal blue and gold, with chandeliers set against sumptuous silk.

Local Mewati cuisine is the order of the day at the poolside restaurant Apas Promenade. The property’s very own farm provides the ingredients.

The spa is a 35,000 sq. ft. haven with a lofty domed hammam. Adorned with fine filigree work and panelling, traditional therapies are offered alongside ancient Ayurvedic practices and Western treatments.

Bold in its every astonishing detail, ITC Grand Bharat is dynastic India re-conjured and a trumpet cry to the subcontinent’s richest of legacies.

n 1961, a few years after the United States government created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the decision was made to establish a major research and development center near Houston, Texas. The following year, President John F. Kennedy visited the site and gave a speech, where he boldly stated, “[i]n this place in America are going to be laid the plans and designs by which we will reach out in this decade to explore space.” True to this declaration, in less than a decade after its opening, the Johnson Space Center ( JSC) was home to the mission control center that supervised the first human landing on the moon.

2019 marks the 50 year anniversary of the legendary Apollo 11 mission, when astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and declared “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Although NASA’s astronauts have since mostly limited their explorations to the earth’s orbit, advances in technology have led to

Manned space exploration is still a major focus at JSC, however, and dozens of scientists and engineers in Houston are working on plans to send a new generation of astronauts further into outer space than any humans have ever traveled before. From planning future missions to Mars to developing the advanced Orion vessels for deep space exploration, the work being done at JSC is poised to shape the future of human space exploration.

With its clear 360-degree panorama of the horizon, the brightest and most beautiful constellations can all be spotted from the Namib.

The nearest town is 140 km away which means no sources of light pollution. The reserve’s sky is one of the darkest yet measured in the world with the stars on display like no place else on the planet.

The winter months (April to September) provide the clearest skies, with darkness descending at 6pm to reveal a spectacle of star clusters and galaxies, as well as a clear view of the Southern Cross and Centaurus constellations.

Summer highlights include views of 47 Tucanae, a multibillion-year-old cluster containing more than a million stars.

Encompassing towering dunes, dramatic mountains and gravel plains, the country’s defining feature is the Namib, the oldest desert on earth that runs the entire 1,500km of the country’s Atlantic coastline. Some of the most dramatic and thrillingly remote spots on the planet can be found here; the dazzling dunes of Sossusvlei (the largest dunes in the world), Fish River Canyon, Africa’s deepest canyons, the unique fog-bathed Namib Sand Sea and the most extraordinary starry night sky.

Nambia is also one of the best places in the world to see wildlife.

The country is home to the world’s largest population of free-roaming black rhinos, a critically endangered species threatened by poachers. You can also spy dark-haired, desert-adapted lions, galloping herds of Hartmann’s mountain zebra, spotted and brown hyena, southern giraffe, desert-adapted elephant and zippy, silvery oryx (Namibia’s national animal).

THE ENDANGERED BLACK RHINO One of the world’s most endangered species, Black Rhinos have no natural predators, except for man. Since 1960, numbers have dropped by a horrifying 97%, mainly as a result of poaching for their horns, reaching an all-time low of just 2,300 individuals in 1993.

Today, Namibia is home to almost half of the world’s population of black rhino – most of these are found in Etosha National Park. Visitors are able to track these incredible creatures with experienced local guides. But, it’s worth noting that Black Rhinos are not actually black. Just like white rhinos, they vary in color between brown and grey. However, White Rhinos have a wide, square upper lip, while the lip of black rhinos is narrow and pointed.

SOSSUSVLEI DUNES Situated in Namib-Naukluft Park, Sossusvlei is Namibia’s most iconic tableau: a large, white, salt and clay pan, flanked by dozens of spectacular rust-colored dunes. Appearing otherworldly at times, these dunes are some of the highest in the world and part of one of the oldest and driest ecosystems on earth. Nature constantly sculpts the landscape. The wind moulds and remoulds their contours while their color changes from ochre to burnished orange to fiery red over the course of a day, reaching the peak of their brilliance just after sunrise.

The pan remains bone-dry most years due to the dry conditions of the Namib Desert. Sossusvlei, which means “dead-end marsh”, is the place where the dunes come together preventing the Tsauchab River from flowing further. During an exceptional rainy season, the river fills the pan, creating an ethereal glassy lake which holds reflections of the surrounding dunes.

Hiking the dunes is a worthwhile challenge and yields spectacular views. The ‘Big Daddy’ is the highest in the area: 325 metres from base to peak.

This is followed by ‘Big Mama’, another high dune which faces Daddy.

QUIVER TREE FOREST Known as the ‘grande dame of the Namib Desert’, the quiver tree or aloe dichotoma, is not a true tree. A tall, branching species of aloe with a crown of bulbous branches covered in a thick white powder, this species grows on the most unforgiving rocky ridges of escarpments, normally at great distances from each other. But just outside of Keetmanshoop in southern Namibia, a large number of them grow in uncharacteristically close proximity, creating a forest-like landscape.

Declared a National Monument of Namibia, the quiver tree forest is one of the only known naturally occurring such sites in the world.

The quiver trees have a history going back several centuries. The nomadic San people used to hollow out branches to use as ‘quivers’ for their arrows — hence the name.

These unexpected experiences are all the more extraordinary because, remote as this place feels – and is – we are passing through the living, presentday communities of the Ethiopian highlands, on a trail in North Wollo between Geneta Mariam and Tadios Amba. Called ‘community trekking’, it’s a unique way to experience the country’s remarkable ‘tableland’.

Community trekking pioneer, Mark Chapman, runs Addis Ababa-based Tesfa Tours. The company enables locallyguided, small groups to explore the broad acres, deep valleys and looming mountains of this high plateau, hosted in traditional agrarian communities in a sustainable and respectful way, that also gives something back. “Treks now run in Wof Washa Forest, Wollo, Tigray and Janamora Woreda”, explains Mark.

“There are 23 guest houses owned and run by communities. As tourism to benefit local people, it’s unique here.

Visitors are amazed at the place, and humbled at the hospitality.”

Destinations ‘Community trekking’ is no soft option however. At altitudes between 2,500m and 4,000m above sea level, it’s a challenge. Distances can be long and trails rough. Villages have no electricity or running water, and meals are prepared on a wood fire. Sleep is in ‘tukuls’, circular structures of stone, wood, mud and straw, located at the edges of hosting communities, in high places. Views are spectacular.

Tourists are few. In North Wollo, we encountered just two; in Janamora, none. This solitude intensifies the diverse memories. They include our tukuls’ sensational settings. The simplicity of tea boiled on eucalyptus or the luxury of highland lamb washed down with Ethiopian red wine (it’s not all hard work). Green-roofed churches set on ridges and in canyons. The ascent of Abuna Yoseph, Ethiopia’s third-highest peak, in the company of Ethiopian wolves, the planet’s rarest canid. Ain Amba, guarded by posturing ‘bleeding heart’ gelada baboons. Grivet monkeys, spying from undergrowth.

Hyenas howling by night, hiding by day.

Birds great and small, from kingfishers and sunbirds, to storks, vultures and hawk eagles. Exotic flora, like giant lobelia, in whose leaves baboons may nap. Ethiopia’s giant peak, Ras Dashen, with its draped walls and mysterious 4500-meter heights.

Above all in the memory remain the highlands’ hardy, smiling inhabitants.

A lady prepares Ethiopian coffee al fresco, toasting beans and wafting the aromatic smoke in our faces. We are honored. Timbala’s lively young hosts serve thyme tea, lentil soup, snacks of roasted pulses and injera with spicy shiro sauce. They never stop giggling.

Trail encounters, too, are never ending. A village musician plays us through town on his archaic wooden instrument. Itinerant priests bless their fellow travelers. An elderly farmer chats, shoeless in this stony land, but an elegant young lady on a steep, rough trail reminds us these are just daily paths. Farmhands winnowing, threshing or ploughing pause to shake hands. Travelling couples of all ages stop to say hello. Likewise, families lugging water from holes, or balancing baskets of wedding food on their heads.

celebration of public baptism in Geneta Mariam, all sombre rituals, colorful fabrics, energetic song and dance, chaotic processions and rapturous joy, we keep a respectful distance. But the townsfolk would rather we danced with them. We join the throngs descending from all directions on the weekly market in Wosen. And across the land, the air is alive with cries of “hullohullo-hullo”, and the irrepressible energy of children, who will literally run a mile to extend a hand to, talk to and even walk a while with their curious visitors – an Ethiopian welcome this community trekker will never forget.

PRACTICAL AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION Who to go with: Tesfa Tours (www.tesfatours.com)

is a highly-committed, local organisation run

by Briton Mark Chapman, to bring tourists and income sustainably to Ethiopia’s highland communities in Wollo, Tigray, Wof Washa, Janamora and the Simien mountains. ‘Community trekking’ takes place away from the famed Simien Mountains National Park.

Ways and means: Community guides show the way

and ensure visitors have somewhere to sleep and something to eat. Trail snacks, personal hygiene and ‘luxuries’ must be brought. Drinking plenty of water is important at these altitudes. Donkeys are employed to carry gear, but be aware of luggage limits on internal flights. Binoculars, zoom lens and a solar charger are all useful.

Food: Mainly vegetarian meals are prepared by

women from the community, including lentil-based soups, beans, potato or pasta, spaghetti with tomato sauce, spinach and cabbage. Ethiopian staples such as injera, keta and flatbread with a hot sauce also figure, as do Ethiopian beer and wine. Breakfast is likely to include tea, coffee, local bread and honey, and scrambled egg.

Climate: Treks take place in Ethiopia’s cool zone - or

‘dega’, mostly around or above 3,000m above sea level. Conditions vary with the season, but nights can be cold all year round. Appropriate clothing, comfortable supportive footwear for long-distance walking, and a good sleeping bag are all essential.

What to take: Remote travel essentials, including

first-aid kit, solar charger and energy snacks.

Ethiopia’s First Comic Book Superhero An Interview with Beserat Debebe, the creator of Jember and publisher of Etan Comics

58

SELAMTAMAGAZINE.COM

E

ver since the blockbuster film Black Panther captured global attention last year, there has been growing interest and demand for African themes within the popular superhero genre of entertainment.

Although African characters have featured prominently in major comic book series, such as The X-Men, for decades, it is only in recent years that these kinds of stories have begun to be crafted by Africans themselves. A few pioneering African publishers like Nigeria’s Vortex Comics and YouNeek Studios have been successfully publishing African sci-fi and fantasy comics for years and some are now expanding into animation. Inspired by these examples, Beserat Debebe set out to create an original Ethiopian superhero with his comic book series, Jember, which was released last year in both English and Amharic editions. We spoke to Beserat about his passion for comics and how he hopes to further expand this literary genre in the Ethiopian community.

What is your personal history with comic books?

I’ve always loved comics, animation and video games as a kid. When I came to the United States as a teenager, reading comics was one of my favorite hobbies. I was attracted to its ability to communicate complex emotions and tell fantasy stories through images and art.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ETAN COMICS ONLINE Website: www.etancomics.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/etancomics Instagram: @etancomics or www.instagram.com/etancomics Twitter: @etancomics or www.twitter.com/etancomics JEMBER books are sold in Ethiopia at Emana Book Center, 1st Floor of Getu Commercial Building, Addis Ababa.

Both English and Amharic editions are available.

What motivated you to start Etan Comics?

I was inspired by my desire to make a positive impact in my community and to tell stories that I think are important and exciting. I wanted to draw inspiration from East African history and mythologies to create fresh and entertaining stories that everyone can relate to.

story is not all there is about Africans. In every African country, there are people performing amazing acts of bravery, innovation, responsibility etc. We just want to do our part to highlight these traits through our stories. At the end of the day, African stories are human stories.

What messages do you seek to communicate through your comics?

What are your ambitions for the future?

In addition to entertaining, our mission is to empower, and educate. There are a lot of Ethiopians and Africans who may not feel like they are important or capable of making a difference in society. Seeing someone like them as a superhero, someone who has lived through their experience and conquered its challenges to become a symbol of inspiration and good, empowers and encourages them to unleash their full potential. Our stories will also help non-Africans see Africans in a new way. There is an overwhelming bias in mainstream media to paint Africans as people who need help rather than people who offer help. This one-sided

In the future, we plan to expand the ETAN COMICS Universe one character at a time. In fact, we just introduced our first female Ethiopian superhero title, HAWI, through a crowdfunding campaign. The response to HAWI has been amazing. Fans from all over the world supported our campaign and got us over 300% funded on Kickstarter. It just goes to show how much people believe in what we are doing so we can’t wait until everyone reads HAWI and all our future stories. In the long term, we plan to introduce more stories through other mediums such as animation, video games, TV and feature films.

Today, the pub retains the cosy, quaint charm and is a lovely place to relax over a pint. There’s also The Bear Inn, Oxford’s oldest surviving pub with a history traced back to as early as 1242.

As well as being recognised for its impressive history, this watering hole is known for its somewhat unexpected collection of old ties, representing university clubs, colleges and sports teams. There are excellent real ales, too.

Pitt Rivers Museum is a bit quirkier with its Victorian glass cases holding more than 18,000 objects collected from around the world. For something more contemporary, go for Modern Art Oxford which has developed a great reputation for its bold, progressive displays.

pubs serve wonderful food, don’t miss local favourite Gee’s. Set in an iconic Victorian Glasshouse, filled with olive trees and plants, dine on a seasonal menu inspired by the Mediterranean. Alternatively, hop in a taxi for a scenic 30-minute jaunt through the countryside and splash out at Raymond Blanc’s two-Michelin star Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. Housed in a magnificent manor house (where you can also stay), surrounded by stunning gardens, Blanc grows almost 90 varieties of vegetables and over 70 aromatic herbs, which you’ll find on your plate, in one way or another.

Tucked into a wisteria-cloaked 17th-century house, where Oscar Wilde roomed as a student, the 35-room Old Parsonage Hotel is a clever blend of period charm and modern luxury. There’s an impressive art collection, knowingly mismatched furniture and elegant rooms plus an excellent restaurant. Another option is the Old Bank Hotel.
