2-daagse wildsafari naar Awash National Park

Mr Yeab and Mr Kiros were a great company as well as the guides. Awash park is amazing - highly recommended. Few animals spotted. Remember about the insects spray as there are many mosquitoes at doho lodge.

Long drive on the first day to Doho Lodge (about 4h), but this compensates for everything. Incredible feeling, Beautiful views, very nice staff and good food. Departure the next day to the national park early for sunrise, but there due to construction work no animals seen - who wants that should not book this currently. Nevertheless, magnificent views in the park and the waterfall impressive with abundant crocodiles. On the way back a short stop was made at the crater lakes.

I had the pleasure of visiting the awash park while staying at the doho lodge where they had multiple hot springs and wild animals living nearby: monkeys, crocodiles and even ostriches! The guides (eyob and tekeste) were very informative and professional, i highly recommend booking this tour if you like beautiful landscapes and wildlife

The Awash National Park has been closed for two years for security concerns (or so the guide said), so the first drive was cancelled. The advertisement is a lie. In addition, the guide was late, tried to drop me at a crappy motel and not the one advertised, did not wake up at the time planned in the morning, kept making things up, and shortened the schedule on the way back. The drive in the second national park was good, for people who are not interested in the main typical species but want to see Ethiopian ones.

Good Driver, also the guide, driver english is good, sevice from both were excellent. The national Park is in comparison with parks in other countries not the best (amount of animals)

We saw a tortoise and a few birds at Awash Natl Park. We saw crocodiles and monkeys near the waterfalls. A hyena was also spotted. As the park’s brochure explains, it no longer has the numbers iof animals it’s famous for. The Tour Operator obtained our permission to change the itinerary and early next morning we were thrilled to see a variety of wildlife in the Aledeghi Wildlife Reserve! (ostriches, warthogs, oryx, gazelles, foxes, birds of multiple kinds, and a desert cat). Accomodations were unique and surprising with excellent food and coffee ceremony. Remember, it’s a safari — electricity is for a few hours at night and wifi isn’t guaranteed! Our driver Gita was amazing. Our guide Yemani was fantastic. Thank you!

Be very aware that the trip is severely overpriced. Awash National Park is non existent. No fencing...

The 2 days Awash national park tour was so amazing there is so much interesting things to visit and the accommodations were also so wonderful. And on the way back to Addis We visited the amazing place called Sodere and it was full of natural hot springs, and we had a great lunch there. The guide was so knowledgeable about the place and he made the trip more enjoyable for us.

The Awash river falls were stunning- it was great to see the crocodiles in their natural habitat. Unfortunately, the description of this trip does not match what is really planned. On the first day, after we arrived in Awash around 2p, our guide dropped us off at our guest house and was planning on no activities again until the next morning. We had to push them to take us to the park and the waterfalls, otherwise we would have had a long boring afternoon in the guest house. Also, the next day, we had to remind them about the hot spring portion of the tour as they were not planning on going. The guide and driver were super kind to my child and warm to us, but they were not very good at spotting wildlife in the park. The scout that is required and we were much better. It is also SUPER expensive, and I don't think worth the price. I would recommend booking from Addis (rather than in advance) and you can get a much better price.

I was lucky. I was the only participant of the safari: Driver, guide and in the national park also with gamekeeper in the new Landcruiser. Guide was extremely customer-oriented. Tour was already exhausting (3 hours drive to the national park, then safari. Accommodation was quite basic. But you experience so much: Lunch at lodge overlooking waterfall in national park, crocodiles, kudus, dik-diks, gazelles, visit to hyena building. I was also lucky enough to see a wildcat - warthogs and jackals were also on display on the morning safari. Sure, lots of birds, too. On the return journey it was less strenuous: Break at a lake with boat tour and even a small horse-drawn carriage ride. It was just a great experience with incredibly nice guides. It was great fun. This tour is great value for money. Highly recommended!
