We saw a tortoise and a few birds at Awash Natl Park. We saw crocodiles and monkeys near the waterfalls. A hyena was also spotted. As the park’s brochure explains, it no longer has the numbers iof animals it’s famous for. The Tour Operator obtained our permission to change the itinerary and early next morning we were thrilled to see a variety of wildlife in the Aledeghi Wildlife Reserve! (ostriches, warthogs, oryx, gazelles, foxes, birds of multiple kinds, and a desert cat). Accomodations were unique and surprising with excellent food and coffee ceremony. Remember, it’s a safari — electricity is for a few hours at night and wifi isn’t guaranteed! Our driver Gita was amazing. Our guide Yemani was fantastic. Thank you!
