From Addisabeba drive to Awash National Park

Day 1

From Addisabeba drive to Awash National Park

From Addis Ababa, we drive to Awash National Park (211 km via Adama/Nazret). Our driver and guide will pick you up from the hotel at 7:30 AM. We’ll join the expressway, reaching Adama in about an hour. En route, we’ll stop at Beseka Lake, a haven for birds like Striated Herons, Black-headed Herons, Red-billed Teal, and Common Cranes. Depending on our birding stop, the 211 km drive will take around 4-5 hours. For accommodation, options include Doho Lodge, a hot spring resort 20 km away. Driving from the park gate toward the Awash River, we may spot Beisa Oryx, Klipspringer, baboons, and more. As temperatures cool in the afternoon, we’ll embark on a game drive. Besides earlier species, we might see Soemmerring’s Gazelle, Kudus, Warthogs, and if lucky, Leopards and Lions. With over 400 bird species recorded, Awash offers diverse terrain of grassland and acacia scrub along the river.

The birdlife is exceptional, featuring Somali ostriches, Arabian bustards, North carmine bee-eaters, Abyssinian rollers, & even Scissor-tailed kites.

The nicest tour experience

I don’t usually like booking tours because of many bad experiences, however, at the time Ethiopia demanded it. I was so lucky to find Melashu’s company. It’s the most transparent, respectful, informative and well managed tour. I did the northern Ethiopian route (volcano, Danakil depression etc) and they managed to make me feel comfortable in a difficult weather environment and very safe in an area of conflict. It’s incredible to have such yummy food in the middle of nowhere! Thank you,

Organized and personalized

Great tour through an amazing landscape. Tour was perfectly organized, no complaints. Somewhere my shoes got lost but when I came back in Addes they were waiting for me in the hotel. Their service goes beyond. Thanks for that

Our guide was fantastic — super knowledgeable, easygoing, and clearly respected by the communities.

Just got back from a 4-day tour with Ethio Wildlife and it honestly blew me away. We visited several different tribes in Omo valley and each day was completely unique and eye-opening. The whole trip felt very genuine and respectful, not staged or touristy at all. Accommodations were simple but clean and comfortable, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. If you’re looking for something meaningful and way off the beaten path, I’d 100% recommend this experience. I came back with a full heart and a totally new perspective.

Organized and responsive

I contacted several tour operators in May 2025 hoping to join a group tour of the Simien mountains but since it is a slow tourist season there were none available. Ethio Wildlife were able to organize a private tour for me at a reasonable cost. They handled everything. The guide/driver/chef/scout were incredibly nice people and it was a pleasure to spend 3 days with them in the park. The guide in particular was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
