I recently did a short birding trip to Ethiopia to see spectacular wildlife like Arabian Bustards and Geladas (Attenborough's iconic coverage of these highland monkeys on BBC Planet Earth made an impression on me). Link to detailed trip report with many photos:

If you only have a short vacation of one week then this trip is ideal as Addis is well connected to international airline hubs. This itinerary has both high quantity (305 species in 7 days) and also high quality (my top 5: Arabian Bustard, Harwood's Francolin, Scissor-tailed Kite, Red-billed Pytilia, Abyssinian Woodpecker).
Enjoy!
