Volcanic badlands, gorges and hot springs of the Rift
Awash National Park, established in 1966, is one of Ethiopia's oldest and most accessible protected areas. Its landscape is a striking mix of volcanic badlands, deep gorges carved by the Awash River, acacia savannah and natural hot springs.\n\nThe park is home to the Beisa oryx, Soemmerring's gazelle, kudu, warthog and, near the river, crocodiles and hippos. With over 450 bird species recorded, it is also a premier birdwatching destination. Its proximity to Addis Ababa makes Awash an ideal day trip or weekend safari for those short on time.
