Awash National Park - 3 Days Safari Tour

Awash National Park takes its name from the Awash River, which marks the park's southern boundary. Located 225 km east of Addis Ababa, it covers an area of 827 square km (319 square miles). The terrain is mainly acacia woodland and grassland. Lying in the lowlands east of Addis Ababa and striding the National Park is one of the handpicked reserves in Ethiopia as it's the most reachable national park in the country. The Awash River, one of the major rivers of the Horn of Africa, waters important agricultural lands in the north- eastern part of Ethiopia and eventually flows into the wilderness of Danakil Depression. The dramatic Awash Falls as the river tumbles into its gorge is the site not to be missed in the national park. Awash National Park surrounding the dormant volcano of Fantale is one of the main features of the park on the southern flank of which can be seen the dark scar of the last lava flow of 1820 is a reserve.
