The Parks

Ethiopia’s spectacular network of national parks incorporates a wide variety of habitats,
from the high-altitude forests and moors to white-water rivers and powerful waterfalls
to lush jungles and even to the depths of the Danakil Depression which is one of the lowest dry lands on Earth.
