Ethiopia is one of the most diverse countries in Africa with regards to culture, geography, nature and wildlife,  the land of superlatives, extremities, where Simien Wolfs roam the mountains and Lammergeiers rule the skies. Dominated by the breathtaking highlands and filled with the richest historical heritage of the entire continent, Ethiopia is one of the most sought-after and enigmatic destinations in Africa. Ethiopia's 9 national parks and 4 wildlife sanctuaries are renowned for their diverse fauna and flora. The extraordinary and unique wildlife includes many endemic species: 31 mammals, 31 birds, 9 reptiles, 24 amphibians and about 1000 plants. Our tour takes us to 3 national parks and several wildlife reserves.

We visit Geffersa Reservoir and Jemmu Gorge around Addis for Wattled Ibis, Erlanger's Lark, Rüppell’s Chat and many more. We reach Lake Langano to see thousands of flamingos and stop at various wetlands and Lake Ziway on the way. We explore the Abiyata-Shalla National Park and Wondo Genet National Forest. We spend 2 days in the Bale Mountains National Park visiting the Sanetti Plateau in quest of Spot-breasted Plover and Rouget's Rail and Harenna Escarpment. Depending on the itinerary you chose we visit Genale River in search of Ruspoli’s Turaco and Liben Plains for Sidamo and Gillett’s Lark or we go to Sof Omar to search Narina Trogon, Salvadori's Serin, Bristle-crowned Starling.
