Guassa Menz Community Conservation Area: Highland Wildlife & Cultural Trek (2 Days / 1 Night)

About
Please select listing to show.
A highland eco-trek through Guassa Menz featuring endemic wildlife, Afro-alpine landscapes, and authentic community conservation experiences.

Explore Ethiopia’s wild Afro-alpine frontier with Dejene Ethiopia Tours on a journey into the Guassa highlands — a landscape protected for centuries through community stewardship. Rolling meadows, dramatic escarpments, and towering lobelia plants create an otherworldly setting where rare wildlife thrives.

This conservation area is among the best places to encounter the Ethiopian wolf, one of the world’s most endangered canids, alongside gelada baboons and highland birdlife unique to Ethiopia. Guided treks reveal delicate ecosystems shaped by altitude and tradition, while visits with local Menz communities highlight a conservation ethic passed down for generations.

Evenings in eco-lodges or under star-filled skies bring quiet immersion into nature. Balanced between wildlife exploration, trekking, and cultural understanding, this experience showcases Ethiopia’s commitment to community-led conservation and pristine highland beauty.
