Ethiopia
The second country in the world to adopt Christianity as the state's religion already in the 4th century offers very diverse travel experiences. Note it is a large country with mainly "slow" roads. Ethiopian Airlines maintains a network of flights, but remote areas can only be reached quickly by small aircraft or helicopter. If you want to see everything driving, you need a lot of time to see the highlights of the country.
