Awash National Park

Awash National Park is one of Ethiopia's flagship protected wilderness areas, in Afar Region, Ethiopia. Days here follow the rhythm of the bush: out at first light when the predators are still working, back for brunch, out again as the heat breaks and the light turns to gold.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Ethiopia: The roof of Africa. Most travelers weave Awash National Park into a longer route taking in Simien Mountains, Lalibela and Danakil Depression.

The operators on SafariSuite run Awash National Park regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
