Explore Ethiopia's diverse ecosystems and iconic wildlife on an 8-day mammal-watching tour. Visit Awash National Park, the Aledeghi Wildlife Reserve, and the Bale Mountains, each offering unique landscapes and wildlife encounters.

Begin in Awash National Park, where volcanic landscapes and the Awash River create a stunning backdrop for wildlife viewing. Spot species like Beisa oryx, Soemmerring’s gazelle, Salt’s dik-dik, olive baboon, and warthog in open grasslands and riverine forests. Keep an eye out for greater and lesser kudu in denser woodlands.

Continue to the Aledeghi Wildlife Reserve, a semi-arid savanna and grassland area. This lesser-known reserve is one of the best places in Ethiopia to see large herds of plains mammals, including Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx, and gazelles. Predators like striped hyena and African golden wolf also roam the area. Enjoy night game drives to spot rare mammals such as aardvark, aardwolf, genet families, African civet, porcupines, bat-eared fox, and African wild cat.

Finally, head to the Bale Mountains, home to Africa’s most remarkable high-altitude ecosystems. Explore montane forests, bamboo zones, and vast Afro-alpine moorlands, which provide habitat for several endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. Look for the Ethiopian wolf, mountain nyala, Bale monkey, giant molerat, and Menelik’s bushbuck. The Sanetti Plateau, rising above 4,000 meters, offers surreal scenery and some of the best chances to observe high-altitude specialists in their natural environment.

Throughout the tour, benefit from expert guiding, varied landscapes, and a carefully paced itinerary that maximizes wildlife viewing while allowing time to appreciate Ethiopia’s scenery and ecological diversity. This itinerary is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and nature travelers seeking an in-depth mammal-focused experience across some of the country’s most important conservation areas.
