Welcome AboardEsteemed Customers,

A llow me to first wish you and your loved ones all

the best for 2015.

As we assess 2014, we’re proud of the ways our

world-class service has been recognized: Ethiopian

received “Airline of the Year” (its third year in a row) by the

African Airlines Association and “Best Airline in Africa” by

Premier Traveler magazine. Several prominent personalities also

chose to fly with us.

In particular, we were honored by the chance to serve Irish

President Dr. Michael Higgins and the First Lady on board both

international and domestic flights. During the president’s visit,

Ethiopia and Ireland signed a bilateral air service agreement

that will enable us to start three weekly flights to Dublin and

Los Angeles in June. These flights will be the first direct-air

connection between Africa and Ireland, as well as Africa and

the U.S. West Coast.

In April, we will also begin service to Tokyo — the first

air connection between Japan and sub-Saharan Africa. All

together, these new flights come at an opportune time when

Ethiopia’s wealth of natural, historical and cultural sites are

open for tourism.

Our efforts to provide the best possible travel experience

also go beyond our route expansion plans. Last month, we

launched a mobile Short Message System to give you easy

access to flight information and track your cargo shipment.

And to enhance our main hub in Addis Ababa, expansion of the

Bole International Airport Terminal is now in full swing. Once

completed, the terminal will be able to accommodate 22 million

passengers annually — three times its current capacity — and

provide for a seamless, hassle-free on-ground experience.

As the largest cargo operator in Africa, we are also working

to enhance our freighter service by phasing in modern fleet,

building state-of-the-art infrastructure, availing more freighter

routes, and deploying the latest information-technology tools.

We have also phased-in our 10th B787 Dreamliner, which has

become our core fleet on mid- and long-range routes. Thanks

to its unique features — the biggest windows in the sky, a high

ceiling, humid cabin air and less noise — it has proven excep-

tionally popular among our customers.

As we welcome 2015, we are excited about the great pros-

pects ahead with new routes, new fleet, and new

products and features, all with a view to serve

you better. In the New Year, we pledge to work

even harder to meet your high expectations and

earn your business. Thank you for choosing to

fly with us.

AFRICAN AIRLINE OF THE YEAR, THIRD YEAR IN A ROW

Ethiopian Airlines, the largest and most profitable airline in Africa, was

recently awarded the title “African Airline of the Year” for the third year in a

row by the African Airlines Association.

“We are highly honored for this recognition by sisterly airlines in Africa,”

said Ethiopian Group CEO Tewolde GebreMariam, who accepted the award

recognizing the airline for its exceptional results, consistent profitability and

sound business strategy in 2013. He attributed success to the more than 8,000

employees at Ethiopian, the airline’s valued customers, and the soundness of

its Vision 2025 growth strategy.

“Although Africa is registering rapid economic and travel growth, this growth is primarily benefiting non-

African carriers,” he said, adding that the times are challenging for African airlines, and that their survival rests

on two things happening quickly: African airliners creating collaborative partnerships across the continent,

and Africa becoming a single unified market without restriction for African airlines.

“The continued fragmentation of our skies is only benefiting foreign carriers and will lead to our certain

demise,” he noted, calling upon the African governments to “act now and fast to unify African skies, which

would also give great impetus to the continent’s economic integration.”

Ethiopian is a global Pan-African carrier currently serving five continents with over 200 daily flights. In

August 2014, the airline also received its second award in a row for “Best in Africa” by the Passenger Choice

Awards, the most comprehensive survey in the industry.

DOING GOOD

GREAT ETHIOPIAN RUN Ethiopian Airlines wishes to congratulate Azmeraw Bekele and Wude Ayalew, the men’s and women’s victors of the 2014 Great Ethiopian Run — an international 10-kilo-meter road race held in Addis Ababa each November. Bekele won his second title, follow-ing his first win in 2010, and Ayalew became the first athlete in the race’s 14-year history to win three titles, having triumphed previously in 2007 and 2008.

Roughly 36,000 participants took part in the race, which was established in 2001 by four Ethio-pian Olympians (Haile Gebrselassie, Derartu Tulu, Kenenisa Bekele and Meseret Defar) together with Kenya’s world marathon cham-pion, Edna Kiplagat.

Ethiopian Airlines has sponsored the Great Ethiopian Run since 2006, display-ing its affinity for the sport of running and its ongoing commitment to athletics.

Ethiopian is pleased to announce the commencement of flights to Dublin and

Los Angeles, beginning June 2015.

Ethiopian flights to both cities will be operated three times a week with the ultra-

modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which offers unparalleled onboard comfort to passen-

gers. The flights will be the only direct service connecting Africa with Ireland and the

West Coast of the United States.

Travelers from Los Angeles and Ireland

will be able to enjoy seamless and convenient

connectivity options, thanks to Ethiopian’s

extensive network in Africa covering 49 des-

tinations. Similarly, as the flights will be

the only direct service between Dublin and

Los Angeles, the Irish and U.S. public travel-

ing between the two cities will greatly benefit

from the route’s opening.

With the addition of Dublin, the airline’s

11th European city, and Los Angeles, its fourth

point in the Americas, Ethiopian’s interna-

tional network will cover 85 destinations.

FLYING TO DUBLIN AND LOS ANGELES

NOTEWORTHY

Received its 10th B787 Dreamliner and its fourth B777-200 LR Freighter in late 2014. As an aviation technology leader in Afri-ca, Ethiopian was the first airline outside of Japan to receive and operate the Dreamliner and the first in Africa to receive and operate the B777-200 LR. Ethiopian continues to expand its fleet capacity and cargo terminal while also replacing its old air-craft with the latest and most environmentally friendly airplanes.

Had the honor of serving Irish President Dr. Michael F. Higgins as well as World Bank President Dr. Jim Yong Kim in late 2014. Ethiopian CEO Tewolde GebreMariam credited the airline’s domestic network for enabling “broad-based, decentralized and all-inclusive socioeconomic development throughout the country by availing the necessary air connectiv-ity for the flow of tourism, trade and investment.”

Celebrated its 10-year partnership with CFM, the world’s leading aircraft engine manu-facturer. Today, the airline operates a fleet of CFM56-7B-powered Boeing Next-Gener-ation 737 aircraft, and it recently ordered LEAP-1B engines for 20 15-option Boeing 737 MAX aircraft (sched-uled to begin delivery in 2018).

Ethiopian also recently announced the commence-ment of three weekly flights to Doha, Qatar — one of the most vibrant, fast-growing economic hubs of the Middle East, and the airline’s 10th destination in the area.

One Africa, One Voice CELEBRATING 10 YEARS One Africa, One Voice

OVERVIEWDespite a restrictive mandate as an advisory and consultative body, the PAP is continuing to play a key role in promoting democracy , good governance and the harmonisation of laws on the continent. This will lead to more direct investment, development and prosperity for the peoples of Africa.

The objectives of the PAP are mainly to promote the principles of human rights, democracy, good governance, peace and security. The PAP is also expected to promote collective self-reliance, strengthen continental solidarity and build a sense of common destiny among the peoples of Africa.

STRUCTURE The highest decision-making organ of the PAP is in the Plenary Session. However, the main work which results in the decisions is performed by the 10 Permanent Committees, which meet to oversee the work of the AU.

The Bureau of the PAP, which is responsible for the management of the Parliament, is composed of the President and four Vice -Presidents, who represent the five regions of Africa. The current President of the PAP is Hon Bethel Nnaemeka Amadi, from Nigeria. The First Vice President is Hon Roger Nkodo Dang from Cameroon, The Second Vice President is Hon Suilma Hay Emhamed Saleh from Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic , the Third Vice President is Hon Loide Kasingo from Namibia and the Fourth Vice President is Hon Dr. Ashebir Woldegiorgis Gayo from Ethiopia .

The Bureau is supported by a Secretariat comprising of permanent staff members drawn from all over Africa. The Head of the Secretariat is Adv Zwelethu Madasa from South Africa.

TRANSFORMATIONThe PAP is currently undergoing a review process of its protocol. It is hoped that the review will culminate into the assignment of legislative functions to the PAP to make model laws that would contribute to the harmonization of laws and policies of AU member states across the continent. The harmonization of laws and policies in the continent is an important pre-condition in achieving greater intra-African trade, industrialization, regional economic integration and eradication of poverty.

Multinational companies are increasingly seeking opportunities to invest in social, environmental and

education projects alongside their primary business ventures. By helping to develop and sustain the

communities that will produce future customers, suppliers and employees, such programs are being

seen more and more as an essential part of global business strategy. Below are three examples from

some of the world’s largest and most influential companies investing in Africa.

SEEKING SUSTAINABILITY

Heineken Supports Ethiopian FarmersSince entering the Ethiopian market in 2011, global beer giant Heineken has sought ways to build strong links to the country’s econo-my. A key part of its strategy has been the company’s CREATE program, which supports local smallholder farmers in the production of malt barley. Because of this partnership, Heineken’s Ethiopian breweries — whose brands include Walia, Bedele and Harar — now source nearly half of their barley locally. After only two years in operation, the CREATE pro-gram already supports 6,000 Ethiopian farmers; by 2017, the company hopes to see that number increase to 20,000.

GE Launches African Sustainability InitiativeGE Africa, the Pan-African division of General Electric, recently launched a new sustain-ability initiative. Called “GE Kujenga,” (kujenga means “build” in Swahili), the program spans a wide range of projects , including charitable donations, leadership development programs, supplier development schemes, innovation competitions, research projects and invest-ments in African firms. Through all of them, the company hopes to show its long-term commitment to the development of Africa — a continent that poses major growth potential for GE’s infrastructure, health care, energy and transportation businesses.

Intel Brings Tech Training to Kenyan WomenAlthough Intel is primarily known for producing microchips that power computers and mobile phones, the company has also taken a strong interest in helping people access the devices that use its products. In April of last year, the company launched the “Intel She Will Connect” program, with the intention of training thou-sands of young African women to use comput-ers and software tools. The program was cre-ated in response to a study that found women in Africa are 45 percent less likely than men to have access to the Internet. By connecting 5 million women to its digital-literacy program by 2017, Intel hopes to help reduce this digital gen-der gap by 50 percent in sub-Saharan Africa.

Electronic music lovers will flock to Stockholm for

a blood-pumping dose of the latest beats from Swe-

den and beyond at this festival — one of the family

of events that began in Barcelona in 1994. Today, the

series has evolved into much more than music festi-

vals, featuring gatherings that focus on audiovisual

artwork as well as music technology, recording and

publishing. Though the events range from Buenos

Aires to New York and London, Stockholm’s version

(with three stages and about 3,600 audiovores in the

ADDIS FOTO FEST

The third edition of the Addis Foto Fest

consisted of showcases, portfolio reviews,

workshops, panel discussions and film

screenings, all with an eye toward present-

ing the true and diverse images of Africa to

the world.

“Africa in its diversity, heritage and history

has much to offer in terms of contemporary

art and culture,” wrote photographer Aida

Muluneh, who founded the biennial festival in

2010. By featuring the work of photographers

from the Americas, Asia and the Middle East

alongside those from 17 African countries, she

says her main objective was to bring the world

to Africa and Africa to the world through im-

ages — from photojournalism to fine art.

For the first week of December 2014, nearly 40 international photog-

raphers gathered in Addis Ababa, transforming the Ethiopian capital

into a giant exhibition space for contemporary photography.

Ethiopia’s


Camelot

The

history of

Gondar,

complete

with

fairy-tale

castles.

B Y H A N N A H J O R D A N

P H O T O S B Y P H I L D E J O N G J R .

Grand castles, strangely reminiscent of

medieval Europe, hide behind thick walls

in Ethiopia’s northwestern region. At first

glance, only shadows of a past culture

linger in this section of the ancient city of

Gondar. Yet the castle compound offers a curious, however

quiet, addition to the otherwise lively town surrounding

it. Transformed by many hands throughout its history,

Gondar — nicknamed the “Camelot of Africa” — stands

as a beacon of Ethiopia’s bygone age, from royal and

religious roots to cultural crossings and clashes.

Wedged between rich natural resources, access to the

Red Sea, and powerful neighbors such as Sudan and

Egypt, Gondar found its ideal location in the foot-

hills of the Simien Mountains. This, paired with an

elevation that repelled mosquitos and thus malaria,

made it the perfect spot for a major city center. Yet

founding a permanent city at this time was unusual

for Ethiopian rulers, who tended to move their royal

camps frequently; when King Fasiledes (in power

1632–1667) dubbed Gondar Ethiopia’s capital in 1636

and began constructing the first castle, he made the

city something of a novelty. Each of the Ethiopian

emperors who followed in the 17th and mid-18th

centuries left his own structural signature, creating

the royal compound known as Fasil Ghebbi.

Stepping into the usually isolated complex gives

pause to the urban sounds of the surrounding town.

Only the echoes of daily prayers ring through the

thick air, accompanying visitors as they meander

along well-worn pathways and beneath looming

arches. Banyan roots grip stone walls and watch-

tower windows offer panoramic views of dynamic

mountains. But the town’s vibrant history rivals its

landscape.

Outside Fasil Ghebbi’s 900-meter-long wall, many

ancient yet still active monasteries and churches

testify to the city’s religious heritage, as do other

subtle and often overlooked traces throughout the

area. During Christianity’s peak in the 18th century,

44 churches are rumored to have existed in the city.

Hiding above several doorways in King Fasiledes’

palace complex, for example, a Star of David tells visi-

tors of the ruler’s claim to the line of King Solomon.

Laden with symbolism, the entry gate resembles

the Lion of Judah, and 12 rounded towers enfolding

one church represent the Bible’s Twelve Apostles.

One bath in the enclosure famously doubled as a

Christian baptism site during celebrations of Timket,

or Epiphany, and the tradition continues to this day.

(Each year, thousands of people flock to the Fasiledes

Bath for a chance to plunge into the holy water.)

Christianity was grafted into Gondarine architecture

and life, and today, the city remains a central hub of

the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church, as well as

the homeland of many Ethiopian Jews.

As Gondar offered sophisticated education and

religious training, it thrived. Just in Fasiledes’ life-

time, Gondar’s population boomed to 65,000, making

it the largest Ethiopian city for almost two centuries.

Seated at the junction of caravan routes between

north and south, Gondar watched as the flowing

trade of cross-cultural goods and ideas shaped its

lifestyle — bringing various practices to the region.

(Even today, the city’s most well-known artisans rep-

resent Jewish and Muslim minority groups.)

Allegedly constructed by an Indian architect,

Fasiledes’ first castle boasts Portuguese, Moorish

and Ethiopia’s own Aksumite influences within

the intricacies of its walls. Later castles mimic the

baroque architectural style practiced by Portuguese

Jesuit missionaries. Generations later, Ethiopian

ruler Iyasu I adorned his decadent palace with

Cement-plastered stairs reflect the variety of Ethiopian and European architectural styles that influenced the compound’s design.

gilded Venetian mirrors and chairs.

Ethiopia is actually the only African nation with

fairy-tale castles. But no matter how impressive they

remain, these castles and their city have suffered

their fair share of hardship and damage. In 1704,

an earthquake nearly reduced Gondar to rubble.

After bouts of internal warfare in the late 19th cen-

tury, an Islamic group from Sudan called the Mahdist

Dervishes burned all churches in Gondar but one.

And during World War II, British attempts to expel

Italian invaders with bombs threatened the remain-

ing buildings.

Yet these incidents have become intrinsically

valuable to the structure, and even to the folklore, of

the city. Italy’s occupation during WWII, for exam-

ple, changed the city’s layout: A piazza now func-

tions as the center of town, just steps from the royal

enclosure. And farther from the compound, a color-

ful mural of more than 120 angels enhances the ceil-

ing of Debre Birhan Selassie — trumpeting a story of

Gondar’s endurance despite attack. According to leg-

end, when the Mahdist Dervish invaders approached

the church — the only one to survive — a swarm of

bees descended on the compound and the Archangel

Michael himself stood before the wooden gates, pro-

tecting the grounds from harm.

In an effort to preserve the structures of Gondar,

the United Nations Educational, Scientific and

Cultural Organization granted Fasil Ghebbi World

Heritage status in 1979. Since then, UNESCO has

lobbied to protect Gondar’s worth, devising plans to

restore the site. By preserving the castles, the core

of Gondar’s narrative continues — a finely spun

tapestry, flecked with the colors of turmoil and

success. And while it has kept quiet for centuries,

Gondar’s fortress now welcomes visitors, ready to

tell its tale.

The 200th anniversary of Vienna’s ball culture celebrates a storied tradition.

P H O T O S B Y F A L K O S I E W E R T


In the expansive, gilded ballroom of the Hofburg Imperial Palace, some 8,000

candles burn brightly, along with countless crystal chandeliers. A profusion of

flowers lines the central staircase, and swathes of gold and red velvet grace the

galleries and balconies.

At the sounding of trumpets, some 10,000 masked guests gathered at the

palace turn their attention to the royalty now entering the room: emperors and

princes, tsars and kings, their partners dressed in elegant gowns of satin and lace.

And so with their arrival does the Grand Ball of the Congress of Vienna begin.

ROYAL ROOTS

As author and historian David King writes in Vienna, 1814, “Vienna was the heart

of Europe” both geographically and culturally. And thus it was only fitting that

this city would host the Congress of Vienna — a historic peace conference. And

only fitting that such a gathering would be celebrated with a ball.

At the heart of Vienna itself, both then and now, is a love for the arts. Since

the late 18th century — when classical composers such as Haydn, Mozart

and Beethoven lived and worked in the city — Vienna has grown into a true

capital of culture, giving rise to a vast array of art museums and opera houses,

It is the second of October, 1814 — a Sunday evening in Vienna, Austria.

symphony orchestras and ballet com-

panies, as well as the triple-time dance

known today as the Viennese Waltz.

But it is Vienna’s extravagant ball

culture that could perhaps be consid-

ered the culmination of these various

creative fields — a storied tradition that

celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2014.

In fact, history reveals that the tra-

dition’s roots dig even deeper than that lavish affair

at the Hofburg Palace. Joseph II, who served as Holy

Roman Emperor and head of the Hapsburg Empire

in the late 1700s, held an uncommon respect for the

common man. He advocated for a range of reforms

such as elementary education and the freedom of

serfs; and in 1773, he even opened the ballrooms of

the Hofburg Palace to the public.

A popular peasant dance in that period, the waltz

had previously not been accepted among higher

society and was even prohibited in places, given that

it required participants to dance in partners and with

close body contact. So it was the commoners them-

selves who introduced the waltz to the aristocrats

and more elite classes.

By the time Europe’s royalty, diplomats and an

estimated 100,000 other visitors converged in Vienna

for the 1814 peace conference, the waltz had risen to

fashion and the ball culture was on its way to becom-

ing a fixture of Austrian society — so much so that

Emperor Francis I established a Festivals Committee

to ensure proper entertainment for the Congress.

The committee supplied a lively schedule of

balls, banquets and masquerades, which no doubt

slowed down the conference’s proceedings. (In fact,

The history of Vienna’s balls extends into the present; Fête Impériale guests arrive to the Hofburg Palace via horse-drawn carriage, and young debutantes grace the streets outside.



at one point that November, an Austrian diplomat

named Prince de Linge remarked in a letter, “Le

congrès danse, mais il ne marche pas,” meaning, “The

Congress dances much, but it doesn’t progress.”)

From the mid-1800s onward, balls and the waltz

were inextricably linked in Vienna. The Strauss fam-

ily of composers rose to fame at this time with the

now-iconic “By the Beautiful Blue Danube” as well as

countless other waltzes, polkas and the like. And as

Nicholas Parsons records in Vienna: A Cultural History,

on any given night, “up to a quarter of [the city’s]

three hundred thousand inhabitants might be found

in establishments with music and dancing.”

MODERN-DAY MASQUERADESA number of political conflicts disrupted life during

the 19th and 20th centuries, putting a pause on cultural

events such as balls. The revolutions against the Austro-

Hungarian Empire in 1848 and both World Wars, in

particular, devastated the city. And yet the majority of

balls still held today were officially founded during the

1920s and ’30s.

Now more than 450 annual balls take place.

Professional and trade groups organize a number of

the events, giving their name to each — from the

Pharmacist’s Ball and the Blumenball (Florist’s Ball)

to the Ball of the Viennese Coffee House Owners.

And with many guests often not arriving before

midnight, these lavish affairs frequently last until

dawn, when it’s customary to end the night with a

bowl of spicy goulash soup at a nearby café.

One of the oldest and most legendary events is

the Vienna Opera Ball, held every

February in the State Opera House.

(A forerunner of the event occurred

as early as 1877.)

On that one evening, nearly 5,000

guests adhere to a strict formal dress code — floor-

length evening gowns for women, black tuxedo and

tails for men. Even the president of Austria himself

attends, to open the festivities.

“Balls belong to Vienna like the Fashion Week

to New York or the Carnival to Rio de Janeiro. The

Viennese love their balls,” says Eva Dintsis, secretary

general of the Opera Ball.

Most of the other balls likewise

occur in January and February during

the Carnival season (known regionally

as Fasching), but a few events also keep

the city waltzing through the spring

and summer.

The Fête Impériale (or the Summer

Ball of the Spanish Riding School) takes

place in June, with its 2,500 guests

dancing in an open-aired courtyard of the Hofburg.

The Life Ball, founded in 1993 and held every May,

happens to be Europe’s biggest charity event for

those with HIV and AIDS. Instead of ball gowns and

black-tie dress, many of its 3,780 guests — includ-

ing international celebrities — arrive in eclectic

costumes relating to that year’s theme, ranging in

the past from “Air” to “1,001 Arabian Nights” to “The

Garden of Earthly Delights.”

Altogether, from the classic to the contemporary,

Vienna’s balls give the city the chance to dance for

more than 2,000 hours each year.

COME ONE, COME ALLWhile much has changed about Viennese ball culture

since that inaugural Sunday evening in 1814, one

essential element has stayed very much the same: the

spirit of inclusivity with which Joseph II first opened

the doors of the Hofburg Palace.

Anyone interested in purchasing a ticket may

attend today’s extravaganzas, including foreign visi-

tors. And taking part in the ball season remains

an important tradition for Viennese locals. “It is a

must for many young people here to go to as many

balls as possible every season,” confirms Professor

Thomas Schäfer-Elmayer, third-generation director

of Tanzschule Elmayer, the city’s most distinguished

dancing school.

As the invitation to dance is officially announced

during each opening ceremony — “Alles Walzer,” or,

“Everyone waltz!” — elegant young couples swirl across

the ballroom floor and history comes to life again.

Two-hundred years and countless celebrations

later, Vienna remains on its toes.

“I love the noise in the same way that

I revel in a good storm,” says Cam McLeay,

owner of this little slice of heaven in

the middle of nowhere: Uganda’s award-

winning Wildwaters Lodge.

Fascinated by the Nile River from an

early age, McLeay in 1996 led a team of

adventurers in the first known descent of

the river in Uganda, before co-founding

a commercial rafting company there. (He

has since been described as one of the

globe’s best whitewater rafters.) A decade

later, McLeay led the first expedition to

trace the Nile through five countries,

from its mouth to its source in Rwanda’s

Nyungwe rainforest.

Having spent so much time on what’s

considered to be the world’s longest river,

Management Authority and the World

Bank to build on Munyanja Island, located

roughly 90 minutes from the capital of

Kampala. About 150 locals joined in the

daunting work of constructing Wildwaters

between two extreme rapids.

Most of the materials, including gum

poles up to 8 meters long, were ferried to

Munyanja in wooden canoes that guests

today use to reach the resort, opened

in 2010.

“We used very few drawings, and the

design constantly evolved,” says Cam’s

brother, Brad, who served as co-architect,

engineer and project manager. “Despite

the challenges, Cam and I thrived on the

organic design and construction.”

Today, elevated wooden walkways

link Wildwaters’ 10 suites, all given local

names and boasting spacious beds and

washbasins carved from Munyanja’s pink

granite. As guests weave throughout the

lush, acacia-strewn grounds, they can

encounter African grey parrots, African

fish eagles or crested cranes (Uganda’s

national bird). More than 50 bird spe-

cies have been identified, and a White-

throated cormorant frequently surfs the

rapids in front of the lodge’s restaurant.

Situated near one of the two rapids,

the restaurant’s setting is dramatic yet

peaceful, inviting guests to gaze upon the

rolling hills across the Nile while dining

on a five-course meal. Dishes such as

seared tilapia topped with lemongrass

and ginger, as well as ravioli stuffed with

potato, roasted red onion and thyme,

entertain palates as much as the setting

does the spirit.

“You really feel as if you are deep in the

wilderness,” says Sian Wynne, a Brit living

in Uganda who recently took her parents

to the resort. “Everywhere around you

are birds and butterflies and, beyond the

white waters, the beautifully lush green

banks of the Nile.

“The weekend was a complete escape.”

Besides sipping sundowners in the

lodge’s rock pool, guests might be pam-

pered with a spa or facial, enjoy a guided

walk around the island, or share a beer with

locals back on the mainland. The more

adventurous visitors can brave the rapids,

The highlight of my own Wildwaters

weekend, though, was being given a turn

at the tiller — in the manner of screen

goddess Katharine Hepburn — on one

Hollywood classic film The African Queen.

In 2010, Cam discovered the old,

diesel-powered boat languishing in

a Nairobi garden trailer. He tracked it

down, “took a punt on the investment”

and had it restored.

Now, the boat’s skipper — dressed

as Oscar-winning actor Humphrey

Bogart — runs 45-minute tours of the

river. Though my trip revealed no sign

of the 2,000 cigarettes or tinned grub

that Bogart boasts about onscreen, I was

thrilled with the obligatory two cases of

Gordon’s gin kept in stock.

“It is quite magical, steaming into the

sunset,” says Cam. “I find my thoughts wan-

dering back a century when I am on board.”

About half the visitors to Wildwaters

are locals, according to Cam, although

international tourists are increasingly

being drawn to the lodge for its inti-

mate, secluded nature and stylish appeal.

“With hardly a dozen cabins it is never

crowded, so you don’t get that ‘tour-

ist-with-a-to-do-list’ feeling,” says Chris

Luwaga, a Ugandan who lives in Kampala.

In 2013, the lodge was presented with

the TripAdvisor Excellence award, which

recognizes certain accommodations,

attractions and restaurants that consis-

tently show a commitment to hospitality

excellence.

And of course there’s the sound of the

water. Some guests have even remarked

that a month after leaving, they can still

hear the turbulent rapids, proving that

although a stay at Wildwaters may fly by

too quickly, it’s an experience that lingers

for a long time to come.

Johannesburg’s booming street-art scene. | BY ST E P H A N I E F I N D L AY

J abu Fakude used to be regularly arrested for his graffiti, bright splashes of color spray-

painted without permission on the walls of Johannesburg’s buildings. “In order to

be a respected artist, you don’t ask permission,” he says, explaining the gist of graffiti

culture. “The only way to be famous is to be notorious.”

But recently, the 21-year-old street artist has watched his work become more and

more welcome across Johannesburg, a city that’s developing an unusually positive attitude

toward street art — the result of a combination of government acceptance and property

developers who see it as an edgy attraction. Today, the mix of clandestine and commissioned

work has made the city a place to see some of the world’s best graffiti.

In Maboneng Precinct, a district on Johannesburg’s east side where graffiti is especially

celebrated, commissioned works by South African masters run side by side with pieces com-

pleted by international graffiti stars. A King Kong–sized piece by Spanish artist Remed, a

guardian with a spear, watches over the city. Fifty meters west, the signature wire-like animal

paintings by DALeast, an artist based in Cape Town, appear to leap off the walls. These spirals

of black, white and gray paint look like three-dimensional sculptures of jumping springbok

— the bouncy, deer-like animal that also serves as the mascot for the country’s rugby team.

From surrealist landscapes and Botticelli-esque figures to meter-high, neon-colored words,

Johannesburg’s graffiti spans the full range of genres. “International visitors come because of

the street art,” says Hannelie Coetzee, a

42-year-old artist living in Maboneng. “It’s

a completely contemporary art attraction.”

Graffiti in South Africa started in the

Cape Flats in the mid-’80s, when the town-

ships outside Cape Town embraced the

music, lifestyle and spray paint of hip-hop

culture. Over time, though, the conserva-

tive city thought graffiti distasteful and so

implemented strict bylaws prohibiting it.

Meanwhile, the hip-hop trend began

to flourish in Johannesburg. The city’s

lawmakers have even embraced the art,

collaborating on citywide projects such

as the Back to the City Festival, a govern-

ment-subsidized day of “live music, street

art and break dancing.”

It helps, too, that the city appears as

a blank canvas, with its never-ending

blocks of abandoned buildings — a side

effect of the 1990s post-apartheid urban

exodus, when thousands of people fled

the cities in favor of gated suburbs.

“If we paint something somewhere

in Europe, the very next day our pic-

ture could be painted over,” says Rasty,

a 31-year-old graffiti artist. “Here, if we

paint, two years later it will still be there.”

The permanence is a boon to Fakude,

who also works as a graffiti tour guide,

walking through downtown Johannesburg

neighborhoods showing both illegal and

commissioned graffiti. Fakude ends his

tour in Newtown, an inner-city cultural

hub with museums and music venues.

“This is my masterpiece,” he says,

standing arms outstretched in front of

a huge blue-and-red wall, where a one-

eyed figure holding two white flags stares

down a gun barrel. “I called him ‘the cloud

man,’” Fakude says. “He stands for peace.”

More and more companies are now ap-

proaching the artist to commission work

for their external walls — yet another

sign of graffiti’s evolution from a shady

medium to one that’s widely accepted and

even celebrated. For Fakude, that means

less time in jail and more money for his

art. But he’ll never forget his roots, he says.

After all, to be famous is to be notorious.

Hill of FlowersA Lalibela restaurant delivers authentic cuisine and nouveau design. | BY L AU R A - C L A I R E CO RS O N

L ike most tourists, my dad and I visited Lalibela, Ethiopia, with the

intent of marveling at its roughly 900-year-old churches chiseled

from stone. Just before arriving in the small town, though, I added

another agenda item to our list: to eat at Ben Abeba, a hybrid res-

taurant popular for its remarkable design and food.

When visiting other countries, my family makes a point to eat locally. So

after reading about Ben Abeba in a guide book, I knew it would be the per-

fect place to experience Ethiopia’s cuisine: its traditional wat, a spicy stew with

many different varieties; and injera, the flatbread made from a grain called teff.

Walking on Lalibela’s small, rocky roads on our way to the restaurant, we

felt a world away from the bustling and active capital of Addis Ababa. In the

dry heat, we jaunted past some of the town’s vibrant 17,000-plus residents, as

well as narrow, dusty side roads, hotels, and brightly painted souvenir shops

and shoe repair stops, among other things.

After traipsing for a good while, we caught a glimpse of a

cone-like structure piercing the sky. Even in the distance,

Ben Abeba’s modernity stands out from any other structure in

the town. Shaped like a wizard’s hat, a spaceship or an Alice-in-

Wonderland-esque building (take your pick of description), Ben

Abeba perches on the edge of a picturesque valley.

The restaurant is the brainchild of local Lalibelian Habtamu

Baye and Scottish-born Susan Aitchison.

Aitchison, 64, a former home-economics teacher, moved to

Ethiopia from Scotland in September 2007 to teach at a newly

built school roughly 35 kilometers from Lalibela. Soon after, she

got to know one of her drivers, Habtamu, who owned a trans-

port company.

When 32-year-old Habtamu mentioned his dream of one day

operating a small restaurant — “to do something special for La-

libela, for Ethiopia” — Aitchison decided to join him in making

that dream a reality.

In November 2009, they leased land from the Ethiopian gov-

ernment — chosen for its spectacular views of the surrounding

hills — and spent the next couple of years obtaining permits and

building the structure. The design stemmed from the imagina-

tion of young Ethiopian architects trained in their native Addis

Ababa. The team held the restaurant’s

grand opening in October 2011.

Since its debut, Ben Abeba (coined

from Scottish and Amharic words to

mean “Hill of Flowers”) has grown to in-

clude a full-time staff of 40 people. The

diverse menu — described as traditional

Ethiopian food as well as a selection of

less-spicy foods for tamer palates — is

created at the discretion of the chefettes,

Aitchison’s affectionate name for the

chefs. On any given day, patrons can

enjoy anything from wat and injera, to

banana crepes, to traditional British

shepherd’s pie.

More than 50,000 trees thrive on Ben

Abeba’s property, which altogether grows

coffee, bananas, papayas, guavas, avoca-

dos, mangos, pomegranates, cabbages,

carrots and tomatoes. The restaurant also

grows olives with trees originally from

the south of France and Italy, donated by

a Frenchman who was experimenting to

see if their fruits could be produced in the

region.

For food that isn’t grown on-site, the

staff purchases products from two nearby

villages and transports canned tuna and

South African wine from Addis Ababa.

Ben Hargreaves, 22, of Sydney, Austra-

lia, ate at the restaurant three times in the

course of his three-day Lalibela visit and

ing his six-week stay in Ethiopia — not

to mention the scenery and atmosphere.

“knowing that you had the best loca-

As of June 2014, Ben Abeba ranked as

Lalibela’s top restaurant according to the

travel site TripAdvisor.com and also re-

ceived a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excel-

lence, for consistently receiving positive

reviews.

But the customers aren’t the only ones

giving the restaurant high marks. Many

locals have found employment at Ben

Abeba, and a scholarship fund has even

been created to help send locals and oth-

er Ethiopians to college.

As for the future, Aitchison and

Habtamu have already started work to

build four individual bungalows for vis-

iting guests, with the goal of completing

construction sometime in 2015. Twelve

more are planned to follow soon after, in

addition to a meeting space and confer-

ence center.

In all of these efforts, the pair says

they hope to contribute something of

lasting significance to Lalibela. And in-

deed, they seem well on their way. Tour-

ists who flock to Lalibela expect to be

astonished by the churches, but perhaps

in the near-to-distant future, they’ll visit

the town for yet another inspiring land-

mark to stand the test of time.

A Natural Spectacle No More?How humans are challenging the future of the great wildebeest migrations. | BY S O N G A SA M U E L - STO N E

Due to their size and habits, wildebeests

largely shape the ecosystems in which

they live and move, making them one

of what scientists consider a “keystone

species.” But just as the vast herds of

zebra and Thomson’s gazelle that once

migrated between Kenya’s Lake Nakuru-

Elementaita region and Lake Baringo are

no more, the wildebeests and their mil-

lennia-old migrations are under threat.

The cause remains the same: humans.

Falling numbers and increasing threatsIn 2009, conservation biologists Richard

D. Estes and the late Rod East released

a research paper confirming that wilde-

beest populations across East Africa are

declining drastically. Recent corrobora-

tive studies by Kenyan researcher Joseph

O. Ogutu and his colleagues found that

all four of Kenya’s wildebeest populations

are diminishing.

The Athi-Kaputiei ecosystem has wit-

nessed the most extreme change, as fewer

than 2,000 migratory wildebeest moved

between Nairobi National Park and the

Athi-Kaputiei plains in 2011 — a sharp

decline from the 30,000 recorded in 1978.

In Tanzania, similar studies unearthed an

88-percent drop in the number of wilde-

beest migrating in the Tarangire-Simanjiro

ecosystem between 1988 and 2007.

In both cases, human activity — nota-

For as long as the history of mankind, vast stretches of the East African savannah have provided a stage for large-scale wildebeest migrations. In one of nature’s most iconic and surviving spectacles — that of the Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem migration — more than a million of these ungulates instinctively herd themselves into moving columns, all in search of water, lush short-grass plains and calving grounds.

bly, settlements and agriculture — blocked

or fragmented the migratory corridors

and dispersal areas, preventing the ani-

mals from reaching water and grass during

dry seasons.

Additionally, an estimated 70,000-

129,000 wildebeest are killed for human

consumption each year in the Serengeti

National Park alone, according to

research by Tanzania-based Dr. Dennis

Rentsch, a technical advisor for the

Frankfurt Zoological Society. Poaching

for bush meat in the Maasai Mara

National Reserve is likewise said to be at

“high intensity” level.

On top of it all, climate change —

arguably caused by human activity —

continues to deliver more woes to the

East African plains, with a combination

of severe flooding and droughts that

threatens food availability.

A threatened safe haven Stretching 25,000 square kilometers

wide, the Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem is

home to the “Great Migration” — the

largest movement of wildebeest, once

named the seventh New Wonder of the

World. Its vastness and self-contained

nature somewhat shield its migratory

wildebeest from a number of threats that

are quickly reducing herds elsewhere, but

struggles nonetheless remain.

Five years ago, amid pressure from the

global environmentalist community, the

Tanzanian government put off plans to

build a highway through Serengeti National

Park’s northern area. Had these plans lived

to materialize, a 600-page environmental

impact assessment study estimated that

3,000 vehicles would use the road daily by

2035 — equating to more than a million

vehicles per year. With the road, linear

settlements would have become inevitable,

further fragmenting the land while endan-

gering the migrations.

As of January 2014, work began to

upgrade a number of often impassable

roads used by villagers living in the com-

munities surrounding the Serengeti. The

government pledged that the section

across the national park will remain a

slower, gravel road, but environmental-

ists fear this will eventually pave the way

for a tarmac highway. The battle between

conservation and human development

efforts continues.

Humans reacting to human-made problemsThankfully, African governments and

conservationists are beginning to take

action to stem further decline and pro-

tect the migration spectacles for future

generations. Kenya, for example, recently

passed more severe anti-poaching laws.

Tanzania is also stepping up its

efforts, with the additional recognition

that tourist dollars are too important

to lose. For example, wildlife conserva-

tion programs (financed by donor aid,

tour operators, and both Kenyan and

Tanzanian governments) are paying

landowners in several crucial ecosystems

to keep their land open for the animals’

migratory corridors and dispersal areas.

But unless even more is done, the story

of the last large-scale animal migration

will resemble other doomed migration

tales: of the bison that once embellished

the plains of North America, the Saiga

antelope that once frolicked in Central

Asia, and the zebra and gazelle that once

moved between Kenya’s lakes. OL

Home to the Toronto Stock Exchange and leading financial, banking and telecommunica-

tions sectors, the metropolis is the commercial capital of the nation.

Stepping past the towering skyscrapers of Bay Street, though, yields diverse discoveries

reflecting Canada’s multiculturalism and burgeoning local arts movement. Head to the

trio of the Queen West, Kensington Market and Trinity Bellwoods neighborhoods, in particular, to

explore an exceptionally vibrant side of the city.

9:00 a.m. Wake up at The Drake Hotel, the nucleus of the dynamic Queen West arts-and-design

district downtown. The 19-room building, which dates back to 1890, has been lovingly restored into a

boutique hotel and cultural center. Integrating elements of the original building’s architecture with one-

of-a-kind pieces from local and global contemporary artists, The Drake’s atmosphere gives a nod to both

the city’s history and the modern energy of Queen West.

Breakfast at The Drake Café will have you rubbing shoulders with locals who flock for the blue-

berry scones and house-roasted coffee. The Southern-inspired chicken-and-waffles dish with macer-

ated cherries is famous for its sweet-and-savory flavor combination.

hood, until you reach Portland Street. Turn

right on Portland, then take the next left

onto Rush Lane. Rush Lane (aka Graffiti

Alley) and its offshoots are the canvas for

some of the most impressive street art in

Canada. Take your time exploring the alley

and its works, which are painted over regu-

larly to create space for fresh pieces.

12:00 p.m. A 15-minute walk north on

Spadina Street to St. Andrews Street will

take you to Kensington Market — one of

Canada’s most distinctive neighborhoods.

It’s known for its legendary open-air mar-

ket, overflowing with produce, bakeries,

vintage and thrift clothing shops, and

independent arts collectives.

Try the yam burrito at the lively Big Fat

Burrito for lunch, or just follow your nose

to one of the market’s many ethnic eateries

— such as Jumbo Empanadas for tradi-

tional Chilean empanadas (fried pastries)

stuffed with chicken, beef or cheese. Next,

wander the market to your heart’s content,

being sure to check out Courage My Love

for a great selection of vintage clothing,

Uprising Books for counterculture reads,

and Bungalow for a mix of vintage and

modern furniture and clothing.

3:30 p.m. Heading west on Dundas

Street, you’ll leave the bustle of Kensington

for a relaxed 10-minute walk toward

Trinity Bellwoods Park. Turn left on Gore

Vale and find yourself in the well-tend-

ed, 15-hectacre green space — a hub for

sun seekers, picnickers and dog owners.

Wander the park, heading south toward

Nadège Patisserie on the corner of Gore

Vale and Queen Street West. Grab a few

of Nadège’s famed multicolored macarons

and a coffee at White Squirrel Coffee

Shop (so named for the park’s renowned

albino squirrel), and enjoy both while peo-

ple-watching in the park.

Next, head to the nearby Type Books to

lose an hour or two discovering gems amid

its thoughtfully curated collection.

6:00 p.m. Walk west on Queen Street

West, stopping in at The Drake to drop

off any treasures from your afternoon of

exploring. Just past the hotel is Grand

Electric, a legendary taqueria specializ-

ing in innovative tacos, bourbon cocktails

and loud music. The baja fish tacos are

something to write home about, and the

unusual scrapple tacos (made from boiled

pig’s head meat, sliced and fried to a

crispy, salty goodness) are well worth a

try. The wide selection of bourbons and

mixed drinks (“Jesus Juice” is particularly

popular) keeps the party going until late.

Be warned: Arriving after 7:00 p.m. almost

guarantees you’ll have to wait in line, as

the taqueria doesn’t take reservations.

8:30 p.m. Return to your hotel and

end the night with a cocktail on the year-

round rooftop patio, Sky Yard, adorned

with local graffiti murals and featuring

a wintertime fire pit. Alternatively, you

can venture to the basement, where The

Drake’s Underground showcases live

entertainment nearly every night. Then,

retire to your crash pad at your leisure,

knowing you’ve tasted one of Toronto’s

most effervescent regions.
