Ethiopia Safari in Perspective
When you envision a safari in East Africa, you likely picture expansive savannahs, open-top vehicles, and the thrill of encountering elephants, giraffes, and majestic big cats just a stone’s throw away. This is the ultimate safari experience in Africa, drawing thousands to the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti annually.

Although Ethiopia offers incredible wildlife encounters, they often diverge from the conventional safari experience.

In Ethiopia, the vast grasslands may not showcase big cats, elephants, and giraffes wandering freely, except in a few select areas during certain times. Prepare to encounter troops of Gelada Monkeys frolicking in the Simien Mountains, the unique Ethiopian Wolf surveying the Sanetti Plateau in the Bale Mountains, and delightful wildlife experiences throughout the land – crocodiles and hippos lounging in the shallows as you wander through the monasteries on Lake Tana, raptors gliding gracefully in the thermals of the Simiens, and curious Hyenas lurking outside the ancient walls of Harar.
