متنزه أواش الوطني

Awash National Park is the oldest in Ethiopia and sits on the highway from Addis Ababa toward Dire Dawa. The Awash River falls into a gorge, oryx and gazelle use the grass plains, and the Fantale volcano is the skyline. Hot springs are a short detour.

It works as a night between Addis and Harar, or as a long day from the capital. Lodges inside the park area exist, and Adama or Metahara are the fallback towns if those rooms are gone.
