Our 19-day tour of Ethiopia takes in the best birding sites the country has to offer, with a touch of historical tourism at Lalibela. Known as The Roof of Africa, the extensive highlands of Ethiopia form the largest mountain block in Africa, holding about 30 bird specialties. Add to this the lowland savannas and wetlands of the Rift Valley and far south, and Ethiopia adds up to a truly bird-filled experience in an usual country. Unrivalled scenery, unique mammals and fascinating cultures enhance the feeling of outlandishness and make Ethiopia a suitable destination not only for hardcore birders but keen generalists.
