In this article we share a gallery of images taken by participant Tim Young on our 'Ethiopia's Endemic Birds & Mammals' tour.

Ethiopia's Endemic Birds & Mammals – A Gallery By James Warren Operations Assistant6th January 2026 Email James Known as the 'Roof of Africa', Ethiopia has a unique and ancient landscape of broad highlands and sweeping rift valleys that host an exceptional concentration of endemic wildlife. Home to over 40 endemic and near‑endemic bird species, as well as iconic mammals, Ethiopia offers some of the most distinctive birding and mammal-watching in Africa. Yet, despite this remarkable richness and the country’s dramatic scenery, relatively few visitors have experienced Ethiopia’s unique combination of sought-after endemic birds and mammals.​ Below we present a small selection of the photographs taken by participant Tim Young on our tour in November.
