Located in eastern Ethiopia, within the Afar region, Awash National Park is the country's oldest nature reserve, established in 1966. The park is named after the Awash River that runs through it, the river of life that nurtures a rich ecosystem. The park's diverse terrain encompasses volcanic rock formations, vast grasslands, salt marsh lakes and the magnificent Awash Falls, which cascade majestically from a 50-meter-high cliff. It is a wildlife paradise, inhabited by mammals such as giraffes, baboons, East African sword antelopes and warthogs, as well as a birdwatcher's paradise, attracting hundreds of species of birds including flamingos and vultures. As part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Awash National Park not only epitomizes Ethiopia's natural heritage, but is also an excellent destination for exploring the untouched wildness of East Africa.
