Drive to Sanetti Plateau

Embark on a captivating journey as we depart from Robe and Goba, making our way to the stunning Sanetti Plateau, recognized as the largest Afroalpine area in Africa. This pristine environment offers an exceptional opportunity to observe the world's most endangered canid, the Ethiopian wolf, in its natural habitat as it engages in its hunting behavior. The Sanetti Plateau not only serves as a critical refuge for this elusive species but is also renowned for its diverse wildlife, making it the premier location in Ethiopia for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. As we explore the plateau, keep your eyes peeled for the abundant rodent population, highlighted by the remarkable Giant Molerat—an endemic species unique to the BM and a key prey item for the Ethiopian wolf. Additionally, the skies above are alive with soaring birds of prey, including the majestic Golden Eagle, Tawny Eagle, and Verreaux’s Eagle, as well as the Bearded Vulture (Lammergier), Lanner Falcon, and Augur Buzzard.
