Description

Explore Awash National Park on a day trip from Addis Ababa. Enjoy a game drive, visit the Awash Falls, and admire the Awash River Gorge and the dormant Fantale Volcano.
Begin your journey with an early morning drive from Addis Ababa, passing through scenic countryside and stopping at crater lakes in Bishoftu along the way. Upon arrival, embark on a game drive, where you might spot Beisa Oryx, Warthogs, Kudus, Gazelles, Baboons, and various lowland bird species. If you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of crocodiles in the Awash River or Black-backed Jackals.
