We organize a birding and photography tour of 16 days, starting on December 4  2026.

Already 2 inscriptions.

We will see more than 430 birds of which 40 endemics or semi-endemics. Contact us for details.

​

To enter your Binoculars and Scopes into Ethiopia, no problem. We are used to do all the paperwork for you.

​​

Some people are afraid of security issues in Ethiopia.
Notice that all the birding areas are in the central and Southern part of the country, away from the former conflict in the North.

We did 2 birding tours of 14 and 17 days in March 2025, 414 and 436 different birds. The same numbers for the 3 tours we did this year.

Classical Endemic Birding Tour Ethiopia

 

​

In recent years, Ethiopia has rightly become one of Africa`s leading birding destinations. Its avifauna represents an interesting mixture of east and west African, Palearctic and some strikingly unusual endemic components.

In addition to more than 800 species of birds, of which a staggering 29 are endemic to Ethiopia and its neighbour Eritrea, Ethiopia has a number of peculiar mammals, and a scenic diversity and cultural uniqueness that are hard to equal.

The highlands, which dominate the country, are bisected by the Rift Valley, and fall away to arid desert and bushlands in the north, south and east, and to moister Guinea woodland in the west. Much of the highlands are under subsistence agriculture, but there still exist considerable tracts of Afro-alpine shrubland and pockets of Afromontane forest.

For birders, the most popular access to really high altitude is the Bale Mountains National Park in the southern part of the eastern south-eastern highlands. Here the highest all-weather road in Africa crosses the Sanetti plateau (4377m), allowing easy access to alpine moorlands, grasslands and lakes. 342 birds observed in an 8 days trip, shows the high potential of this country for attracting more and more birdwatchers to Ethiopia.
