Overview
Gelada Country (1 Day)
A one-day programme built around time in Gelada country rather than a fixed checklist of viewpoints. Emphasis is on observation time, escarpment walking, birdlife and photography. Pacing is deliberately flexible so the group can stay with wildlife when conditions allow. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
