Kafta Sheraro National Park

Kafta Sheraro National Park is a national park in Ethiopia. The park is settled in Western Tigray region, in the districts (woredas) of Kafta Humera and Tahtay Adiyabo. The park borders with Eritrea's Gash-Setit to the north and is traversed by the Tekezé River. Vegetation communities in the park include Acacia-Commiphora, Combretum-Terminalia, dry evergreen montane woodlands and riparian types. A total of 167 mammal species, 95 bird species and 9 reptile species have been recorded at the site.

Kafta Sheraro National Park is located on the Ethiopian and Eritrea border just a few kilometers outside the Town Humera. We were lucky to take a early morning and evening game drive and saw elephants, greater kudu, red fronted gazelles, many different types of birds and crocodiles. This park is probably one of the best places to see elephants in Ethiopia. The staff are professional and very friendly.

The only national park in Tigray region, Ethiopia with estimated over 100 African elephants and other mammals, birds and reptiles.

True adventure ....i love it

I'm from the local. I was born and raised in this area. The park is known as Kafta Sheraro National Park. Its so called because it found between the two districts, Kafta & Sheraro. One of the biggest rivers in Ethiopia, Tekeze, flows through the park. The place was marked as park by the Ethiopian government in 2007 and covers 5000 msq. Its known for its population of a number of wild animals, primarily Elephants, lions, leopards, birds, etc. It extends from upper valleys of Tekeze in Kafta to the dry deserts of Gash Barka in Eritrea.
