There are many indigenous species found in the various regions of Ethiopia that are not found in any other hunting destination in Africa. Ethiopia offers unique safari experiences from the primitive Omo and Gambella areas found in the West to the Bale Mountains in the Southeast and on to the Afar/Danakil desert regions to the North. The cultures of Ethiopia are far different from those experienced in Southern and even East Africa making a safari to this country truly a wonderful experience while hunting species not found elsewhere on the continent. All safaris begin and end in Addis Ababa which is the capital city. Many of the unique species found in this country are very limited as far as annual available quotas so advance bookings are essential.
Our Ethiopian hunts are being done in association with Thomas Mattanovich Wildlife Safaris Ethiopia, Rocky Valley Safaris and Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris
