Extract
Ethiopia is located in Eastern Africa and lies between 3° and 18° N and 33° and 48° E in what is usually called The Horn of Africa. It borders Sudan to the North, North West and West; Kenya to the South; Somalia to the South East and East and the Djibouti Republic and the Red Sea to the East and North East.
The Country enjoys great geographical diversity ranging from high and rugged mountains, flat topped plateaus, deep gorges to river valleys and lowland plains. The vegetation is also as varied: ranging from desert, tropical forest, alpine shrub to grassland. Ethiopia has a greater diversity of climate, topography and soils than almost any other African Country.
