Set in southwestern Ethiopia, the remote Gambella National Park is the nation's largest national park in the country. Located along the banks of the Baro River and stretching over 5,000 square kilometres, this magnificent sanctuary features vast floodplains scattered with grasslands, marshes, river forests and savannahs in the Eastern hills. It is home to abundant, diverse and rich wildlife including crocodiles, the Nile lechwe, buffalo, bushbuck, giraffe, waterbuck, roan antelope, zebra, warthog, lion, hartebeest, hippo and elephant. Don't miss the opportunity to learn about the traditions and culture of the local Nilotic people, spot over 300 species of bird, and soak up the wild and remote wilderness. Gambella truly offers a unique safari opportunity in East Africa.
