Rüppell’s vulture, critically endangered, Simien Mountains national park, Ethiopia. Marco Gaiotti says: ‘This vulture is pictured in flight in front of the Jinbar waterfall. The current Rüppell’s population of 22,000 is decreasing, mainly due to loss of habitat. Rüppell’s vultures are considered to be the highest-flying bird, with confirmed evidence of a flight at 11,300m (37,000ft) above sea level.

Wildflowers on the Rim; Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia “wildflowers recently blanketed the hillsides like a patchwork blanket of green and gold with purple highlights that had simple been tossed over a lumpy old sofa.” #simienmountains #ethiopia #wildflowers #nationalpark #travel #travelphotography #travelphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf4_KqjPvzg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

LIVELIHOOD | His skin was leather, witness to a noble life spent beneath the generous Ethiopian sun. He looked 80, but was probably closer to 60 when deducting the dignifying furrows a career of arduous labor had left on his face. The wide-awake eyes gave it away. And at no point did the cruel Simien ascends seem to take a toll on him, while I paid plenty. His reticent demeanor expressed a polite indifference to my existence. And yet, somehow I felt like he would guard that existence with his if necessary. He exuded an air of loyalty to his responsibility as a scout, and at least by proxy to any wannabe adventurer in tow. All he carried with him into the mountains was a small rucksack, a quilted jacket, an umbrella, a shawl that inexplicably sufficed him as blanket throughout the relentless altitude nights, and the AK-47. Ka-lash-ni-kov, rat-tat-tat-tat – what a perfect last name to invent a rifle, I thought. The phonetics and connotation were a match made in Russia. What kind of machine gun would a “Wilson” or “Gonzales” be? But if the rifle made me feel any safer, it made me feel unsafer in at least equal measure. I disliked the tangible proximity of death the presence of the gun established, notwithstanding that this one was more livelihood than weapon – a tool of life and death that was just a tool. Some written or unwritten rule somewhere obliged him to carry it, and me to enter the park accompanied by an armed veteran. Wild animals or robbers are no real threat here, as I learned, but a family going hungry is.

Unique wildlife encounters are a dime a dozen, especially rare (and sustainable) ones like observing the Gelada Baboons in Northern Ethiopia. These monkeys are indigenous to the area - living high up in the Simien Mountains at an altitude of close to 10,000 feet. They’ve never been fed by humans, and thus they don’t act aggressive and allow you to get quite close. After many animal encounters all across the world, this one is definitely top of the list. What animal encounter is top of your list? #ethiopia #visitethiopia #ethiopia🇪🇹 #gondar #simienmountains #baboon #ethiopiatravel #ethiopiancoffee (at Simien Mountains National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8twrbBAqBo/?igshid=1q22tnilgjjbs
