Day 1
Depart in the morning and drive east through the Great Rift Valley, passing acacia woodlands and open plains. Upon arrival at Doho Lodge, relax in the lodge’s natural hot and cold spring pools while enjoying sweeping views of the Awash landscape. In the late afternoon, set out on a game drive around the lodge and inside the park. As golden light spreads across the savannah, look for Beisa oryx grazing quietly, graceful gazelles darting across the plains, troops of baboons along the roadside, and warthogs moving through the grass. The park’s riverine forest and open woodland are alive with colorful birdlife, creating a perfect sunset safari atmosphere. Overnight at Doho Lodge. Mid-range lodge located just outside Awash NP Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
After an early breakfast, drive to the vast savannah of AliDege Wildlife Reserve. The open, semi-arid plains provide excellent visibility for wildlife viewing. Track herds of Grevy’s zebra with their striking stripes, elegant Beisa oryx standing alert against the horizon, and Soemmerring’s gazelles moving swiftly across the landscape. The reserve is also rich in bird species and offers a true wilderness feel with fewer visitors and wide, untouched scenery. After a rewarding morning game drive, begin your return journey to Addis Ababa, arriving in the late afternoon with unforgettable memories of Ethiopia’s Rift Valley wildlife.

5.0/5I had a wonderful trip in Ethiopia thanks to Abiy from Abiy Ethiopia. Everything was well organized, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His knowledge of the country, culture, and history made the experience even more special. I highly recommend him to anyone planning to visit Ethiopia.

Abiy picked us up in the hotel in Lalibela and showed and explained us some of the most impressive Rock Hewn Churches. His knowledge of history was great. As other highlights I want to point out Axum, the capital of the ancient empire of the Queen of Saba and of course the National Museum in Addis Abeba showing the story of mankind starting with Lucy!

I have now travelled twice with Abiy Ethiopia Tours and each time found the planning and delivery of the tour immaculate. Abiy is prompt replying to queries, generous with advice, and always knowledgeable, courteous and fluent in English. We enjoyed the first tour so much that we trusted Abiy to arrange our second experience of Ethiopia. We found going through a trustworthy Addis-based tour operator proved excellent value for money. We were again impressed with the friendly efficiency of all involved and the personal interest Abiy took in ensuring that we got the maximum enjoyment from the trip. Well done Abiy Ethiopia Tours!
