The Semien Mountains National Park:

Ras Dashen (Ras Dejen) mountain in northern Ethiopia is the highest peak in Ethiopia and fourth highest in Africa, Towering over the Ethiopian Plateau at 4,620 meter (15,157 feet) above sea level. Ras Dashen is part of the Simēn Mountains, a volcanic range of jagged peaks. Adjacent to the mountain is the 179 square kilometer (69 square miles) Simēn Mountains National Park, which was designated a World Heritage Site in 1978 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). UNESCO's World Heritage list recognizes the world's unique natural and cultural places.

Wildlife:

Three animals unique to Ethiopia are found in the area: the Walia Ibex, the Simien Jackal, and the Gelada baboon. The mountain is also the home of the lammergeyer, a vulture with a 2.4 meter (8 feet) wingspan, known as the “bone breaker” for its habit of breaking its prey's bones by dropping them on rocks, White collared Pigeon, Watt led Ibis, White billed Starling, Spot-breasted Plover, and White backed and Black Tit.
