In Ethiopia there are nine national parks,two of which include the mountain groups of the Simien and the Bale,while the others lie in the Rift Valley towards Kenya.The unforeseeable wild landscapes are surely the main attraction of these parks,where many of the animal species are protected,and some of them are endemic to the area.The proximity of Ethiopia to the Equator and the variety of its habitats make it one of the richest countries in Africa in wild bird life.
