The World About Us: The Wildlife Safari to Ethiopia

on BBC Two England

Introduced by Jeffery Boswall

The story of a naturalist-explorer making a six months' journey from the lowest point in Ethiopia, the bottom of the Danakil Depression 300 ft below sea level, to the top of the highest mountain 15,000 ft above sea level. Ethiopia offers a variety of scenery, plants and birds and other animals without parallel in Africa.
This film contains the best from a series of six films first transmitted on BBC1.

"It is an undiluted pleasure to commend the stunning camera work of Douglas Fisher... one of the truly great photographers of the natural creation... and to be conducted among Ethiopia's magnificent and awful sights by Jeffery Boswall with his square fighter's face and insatiable curiosity" (Sunday Times)
