#3 : Ethiopia: Best Adventure Safari

While the rest of Africa has been well trampled by khaki-clad wildlife-seekers for years, Ethiopia has only recently begun to attract high-end adventurers. This year, with tour operators like Abercrombie & Kent and Jenman Safaris offering Ethiopia itineraries, visiting is easier than ever. Attractions include bird watching in the Rift Valley Lakes, spotting crocodiles near the Kenyan border and trekking in the Simien Mountains National Park.
