Kulfo River

The Kulfo River is a river in southern Ethiopia. It flows through the Nechisar National Park and drains into Lake Chamo.

An important bridge over the river was restored in 2006. The river has dried out considerably in recent years.

A Cambridge University researched cytotaxonomic analysis of larval chromosomes from the Kulfo River area has revealed the existence of two newly recognized species in the river, Simulium kulfoense and Simulium soderense.
