Western Lowlands
region, Ethiopia
Quick Summary
The Western Lowlands of Ethiopia are a region characterized by elevations of approximately 3,300 feet (1,000 meters). This area stretches north-south along the borders with Sudan and South Sudan and includes the lower valleys of the Blue Nile, Tekeze, and Baro rivers. The climate in the Western Lowlands is hot, typical of tropical savanna, making it less conducive to dense settlement. Rainfall occurs, particularly in the southern parts of the Western Highlands, but the lowlands themselves experience significant heat.12
