Why Gambella National Park?

A Little about Gambella

A Haven of Biodiversity

Prepare to be amazed by Gambella’s ecosystems, from pristine highland forests to expansive wetlands. This park is a sanctuary for some of the world’s rarest species, including Nile lechwe Ethiopia populations grazing along riverbanks and the elusive shoebill stork Ethiopia stalking fish in papyrus swamps. Gambella hosts the world’s second-largest overland mammal migration—the biggest white-eared kob migration—as vast herds cross from South Sudan when the plains flood. Anglers can sample the finest catches on a Gambella safari, where waterways reveal Ethiopia’s greatest fish diversity, and birdwatchers delight in vibrant avian spectacles.

A Wilderness Reserved for Explorers

Accessible only by charter aircraft or a thrilling helicopter Gambella safari, this wilderness is reserved for true adventurers. You’ll encounter massive herds of antelope and buffalo, elephants, giraffes, warthogs, lions, hippos, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Each night, retreat to an exclusive Gambella tented mobile camp—your base for immersive exploration in comfort.
