Ethiopia, one of the world’s most fascinating safari locations, is home to the Danakil Depression, which formed with the split of Africa and Asia millions of years ago. Danakil Depression is often referred to as the ‘cradle of humanity’ due to the paleontological evidence found in the region. It is the third lowest place in Africa and one of the lowest places on earth. Although a premier Ethiopian attraction, the depression is also the hottest place that receives scarce rainfall and is often dry. Another popular attraction, Awash National Park is known for its scenic beauty. On the park’s southern boundary is a magnificent gorge with a spectacular waterfall, and in the north, lies a dormant volcano with ragged edges.
Bahir Dar, Bale Mountains National Park, Gheralta are a few of the numerous other attractions that appeal to people. Despite all these attractions and beauty, Ethiopia has its cross to bear. Visitors should avoid making plans to visit Afder, Dollo, Fafan, Jarar, Nogob, Korah, Sitti and Shabelle zones of the Somali region as well asEthiopian borders which are riddled with landmines. If you plan a visit to the Somali region, we recommend that you should make an informed decision after speaking to knowledgeable security personnel. Meanwhile, you can go through our list of travel tips that will keep you safe on your Ethiopian Safari.
Most wildlife safaris follow the same set of rules, read the guidebook, always follow your guide’s advice, and stay within the perimeter of your accommodation. We are sharing two of our in-depth guides and tips for safari travellers.
