Wildlife Exploration Tours

Ethiopia is not your typical wildlife destination. Unlike the safari drives and classic safari experiences that might come to mind when you think East Africa, Ethiopia’s wildlife experiences are about rarity, endemism, and biodiversity.

Ethiopia has an incredible number of endemic species, and many of these animals have gone on to iconify the regions in which they live. The bleeding heart monkey in the Simien Mountains, for example, has become the symbol of the region – and the love and respect people have for these animals is an important motivator for their continued conservation efforts.

Similarly, in the south, the Ethiopian Wolf patrols the Sanetti Plateau of the Bale Mountains. The Ethiopian Wolf is the rarest canid in the world, found only in Ethiopia.

Beyond these endemics, you’ll find hippos, crocs, flamingos, warthogs, hyenas, ostrich, monkeys, ibex, and even lions, leopards, buffalo, elephant and giraffe (if you’re lucky).
