About Ethiopia Safari
Ethiopia offers Africa's most unique cultural safari experience — a civilization with 3,000 years of continuous history, ancient rock-hewn churches, the original Ark of the Covenant, and the tribal peoples of the Omo Valley whose traditions date back millennia. Wildlife highlights include the Ethiopian wolf (Africa's rarest carnivore) in the Bale Mountains, gelada baboons in the Simien Mountains, and endemic birds found nowhere else on earth.
