Kafta Sheraro National Park

by admin September 17, 2019

Kafta Sheraro National Park is in Ethiopia’s 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 TekezĂ© 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.

The park is home to a transboundary African elephant population of about 100 individuals, which it shares with Eritrea’s Gash-Setit, and which constitutes the northernmost elephant population in Eastern Africa. Kafta-Sheraro is also an important wintering site for demoiselle cranes.

Other notable wildlife species include lion, leopard, caracal, aardvark, greater kudu, roan antelope, red-fronted gazelle and red-necked ostrich.
