Gambella National Park, South West Ethiopia, Ethiopia

Displayed:   times.

Although little developed and receiving few visitors, the Gambella National Park in the west of the region, is unique with its large area of swamps and wetlands. Most of the terrain comprises grassland, and wooded savannah, and contains many species that are more typical of the Sudan rather than other areas of Ethiopia. The wetlands, and the Baro River attract large quantities of bird life, many of them migratory visitors. Access is best from the town of Gambella, and there are no tourist facilities in the park.
