More than a view.

Contrasting habitats

The Awash River, waterfalls, scrub and hot springs create a layered park landscape, while Alledeghi feels larger, quieter and more remote.

Wildlife on its own terms

Oryx, gazelles, baboons and rich birdlife may be encountered, but this is not a high-density wildlife destination and sightings are never guaranteed.
