Review of a 2-day Awash National Park safari from Addis Ababa, with wildlife drives, Awash Falls, Sodere hot springs, meals, and lodging.

“The Awash National Park has been closed for two years for security concerns (or so the guide said), so the first drive was cancelled. The advertisement is a lie.”

Review of a five-day Ethiopia tour covering Addis Ababa, Harar, Dire Dawa, Awash National Park, meals, lodging, and guided transport.

“Needed to change the date and the operator would not oblige. I understand that we needed to move it but at least offer us a discount to rebook the trip or something. In other words don't book this trip unless you are in country and ready to go. At this time still no refund.”

“Josephs (a guide) and Nico (a driver) were really kind and professional. I always felt at ease to be guided by them. If you have only 2 or 3 days in Ethiopia and like to fully enjoy the beautiful nature of this country, I should recommend this tour.”

Review of a 2-day Awash National Park tour from Addis Ababa, with hot springs, wildlife, crater lakes, boat trip, and practical tips.

“Good couple of days. It’s a long couple of days though, the trip to Doho was long and hot. The guide didn’t really chat to us much at first but I did get to know him a lot and enjoyed his time. Doho is a nice lodge, the hot springs are great, but they are hot! And awash is always hot! So stay hydrated! Didn’t see any animals AT ALL in the park, so avoid that. Humans have sadly taken over! The crocs were cool at the beautiful falls though! Bit expensive this tour but good experience!”
