7 reviewed
Good awash & bale national park tours fill up weeks ahead in the dry season and the best ones go first. The 7 below are the ones to secure early, with current prices and what separates each from the next.
Two days of wildlife spotting in Awash National Park from Addis, with two game drives, Genet Hotel overnight, and meals included.
“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.”
Three days of trekking in Bale Mountains National Park from Addis Ababa, aiming for Ethiopian wolves, mountain wildlife, and big scenery.
“The Bale Mountains National Park is nothing but breathtaking – so it’s even worth a trip if you have the worst guide ever. Don’t read reviews – just go there!”
5 days Addis Ababa, Harar, Dire Dawa and Awash National Park: museums, walled city, cave paintings, game drives, meals included.
“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.”
Two days from Addis Ababa to Awash NP: hot springs, waterfalls, and an evening game drive with pickup and an English guide.
“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.”
6 days trekking Ethiopia’s Bale Mountains with wildlife chances, high-altitude camps, and Harenna Forest birdlife and waterfalls.
“Ethiopia’s landscapes are stunning in the Bale Mountains. Trails are fully located in the wild and nature. A guide was helpful, and facilities were placed in natural setting —worth for nature lovers. We had amazing time even facing high altitude.”
Trek Bale Mountains from Dinsho to the high alpine zones for Ethiopian Wolf chances, big birdlife, and a culture night in Addis.
“Bale mountain was great and we saw animals and the mountains view was unbelievable please check it out and check out walkin Ethiopia”
Awash National Park and Debre Zeit crater lakes in two days, with a game drive, Doho Lodge hot springs, and a lake boat trip.
“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!”
