Awaze Tours

Awaze Tours is an Addis Ababa-based ground operator that runs birding and natural-history expeditions across Ethiopia, a country with more than 850 recorded bird species and a remarkable set of Horn of Africa endemics. Itineraries range from short 4-night trips to 14-day grand circuits. The company's birding routes link the classic sites of the Ethiopian highlands and Rift Valley: Lake Tana, the Bale Mountains for Abyssinian specialities, the Simien Mountains, Awash National Park, the Omo Valley and eastern Ethiopia around Harar. Tours are typically combined with cultural visits across the country's UNESCO sites.
