Ethiopia has been rated by the African Bird Club as the number four birding country in Africa. Over 863 species have been registered, representing approximately 9.5 percent of the world’s birds and 39 percent birds in Africa. 18 of these birds are endemic to Ethiopia, and 14 shared with Eritrea, while a further 61 are regional endemics more accessible from Ethiopia than neighboring countries. Ethiopia is a safe place to stay and explore many bird species that are hard to see anywhere else owing the difficulty of access to neighboring countries.
Because of its broad range of climatic zones and diverse habitats it comprises a wide range of wildlife species that inhabit deseret, arid, dry thorn-bush, savannah, woodland, tropical forest, montane grassland, afro-alpine moorland and wetlands. The major Ethiopian birding sites include Rift Valley Lakes, Bale Mountains, Awash Region, South Omo Valley, Gibe Valley, Northern Central Plateaus including Sululta Plains, Jemma Valley, Ankober Mountains, Southern Lowlands including Neghele and Yabelo region.
