Birding - Ethiopia

Ethiopia is one of the richest countries in bird life and has more than 850 bird species. Nearly, about 10 % of the world’s bird species is found in Ethiopia. Ethiopia has 17 endemic birds and others, 13 endemic birds that are shared with Eretria (found both in Ethiopia and Eretria). High diversity of eco-systems with different habitats including high lands, low lands, lakes, etc made Ethiopia paradise for bird watchers. Ethiopia is an ideal destination for both short-duration and long-range birding trips;  Marvelous Ethiopia Tours organizes both ranges.
