About

This is a photo blog that I'll be updating for the coming year that will cover my travels in Africa. Except for the summer, I'll be living in Ethiopia and taking some trips occasionally to surrounding countries. The organizations I will be working for are listed on the right side of the page.

Bale Moutains





Here are some pictures I took on my trip to Bale Mountains National Park. I was only there for 24 hours, so unfortunately I only saw about 5% of the park. Hopefully, I will return in the next couple months and do some more extensive trekking. It was a beautiful place and animals were incredibly abundant.




 
Mountain Nyala – only ~2500 left on the planet. Equivalent in size to the moose and they are very graceful animals.







 
Menelik’s bushbuck – endemic to Ethiopia. About the size of a small deer, but much less skittish than deer you’d find in the US. 

 

Anubis monkey/baboon – the most common primate in Africa, still exciting for me though! They travel around in open areas in groups of generally 20+




Camels – saw these guys on the road trip back. Also saw some ostriches and warthogs but they were too quick for me to snap a photo of them.
