    Hi Mal,
    I can say that the national parks in Ethiopia are just big zoological gardens. Outside of them you can hardly find big mammals.
    But I feel you are looking for some institutiuons whis resmeble to classic zoos in developed countries. During our visit we have noticed Lion Park right next to the Yekatit 12 Monument in Adis Ababa. But we didnt visit it (my friends didnt want to wait for me... but I can recommend Natural Sciences museum), we were only listening roaring lions.
    For more information see this:
