Babile elephant sanctuary



We are planning a road-trip to Jijiga on the 15th of December 2012 (the road is said to be good and we expect the trip from Addis to take 9 to 12 hours). On the way back we plan to make a 4 day stop at the walled city of Harar, including spending a day visiting the nearby Babile elephant sanctuary.

The ears of African elephants look like a map of Africa - that's an easy way to tell them apart from the Asian cousins.

Babile is also home to the endangered black-maned Abyssinian lion.
