Ethiopia is, without a doubt, one of Africa’s top birding destinations (alongside Uganda) with over 863 bird species registered. Amani can arrange top-level private birding guides, as well as excellent local birding guides for travelers who are interested in birds, but don’t want to make birding the centrifugal element of their tour. The Rift Valley’s large lakes (even one the color of chai tea ideal for swimming) are a migratory point for many species and Awash National Park is a highlight for both birdering and game viewing. The Bale Mountains offer one of Ethiopia’s most unique destinations with spectacular scenery, the endangered Ethiopian wolf and endemic birds such as the blue-winged goose and the yellow-fronted parrot. Whether you’d like to incorporate birding into a more comprehensive Ethiopia tour or if you’d like to focus on the country’s endemics and migratory species, Amani can assist with sourcing the best guides in the region.
