What to do?

Safari Tours Millions of years of isolation of extensive areas with unusual conditions in the highlands of Ethiopia have led to the evolution of unique species at all levels, especially those smaller species less able to travel or be carried across inhospitable habitat. Other species from temperate regions have found a habitat similar to their usual homelands and have established populations here. Endemism is rife, particularly amongst large and small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Endemic does not mean endangered Just limited to a geographical and nowadays political area. Ethiopia possesses a large and isolated area of unusual habitats within its political boundaries and is therefore endowed with more than a usual share of endemic species. The country, in fact, has a recorded list of 242 land mammals, of which twenty-eight are endemic. Two of Ethiopia’s wildlife conservation areas are in the highlands — the Simen and Bale Mountains national parks — and the rest either bordering or down the length of the Rift Valley, Yangudi Rasa, Awash, Abijatta-Shalla Lakes, Nech Sar, Omo, and Mago national parks and Senkele Swayne’s Hartebeest Sanctuary.
