WILDLIFE
There's a very good chance of meeting the elephants of Babille Elephant Sanctuary, al-
though you'll probably have to bushwhack to do it. And though it's of more interest for its
geology than wildlife, a game drive in Awash National Park will take you past oryx and
gazelle; plus the birding is excellent. And, of course, don't forget about the urban hyenas
of Harar.

TRADITIONAL CULTURES
Western Ethiopia is populated by an impressive mix of ethnic groups. The Nuer and
Anuak people are around Gambela, and the Gurage people are near Jimma. For the ulti-
mate adventure, journey to the wild land of the Surmi people in southwest Omo.
