Celebrating Epiphany | Ethiopia’s most colorful holiday of the year.

If you have an interest of staying with deep nature and seeing various animals Arbaminch and Nech Sar national park is a paradise. Some animals you will see include big African Crocodiles, families of hippos, warthogs, monkeys, gazelles, ostriches, zebras , kudu and a number of bird species.

HIGHLIGHTS:

– Visit fourty springs of Arba Minch :

Arba Minch, which is Amharic for ‘Forty Springs’, is named after the innumerable little springs that bubble up right at the base of the ridge below the town. All the development (the city pumps its water from here) and the fact that it’s not especially scenic to begin with make it only worth visiting if you’ve already paid park fees. The 3km road there from the headquarters, however, is beautiful and is a good, easy walk.

– Visit Crocodile Market and hipopotamus while cruising on Lake  Chamo :

Where the Kulfo River empties into Lake Chamo you’ll find oodles of crocodiles sunning themselves. Both the size of the congregation and the size of the crocs (6m is common) make this one of Africa’s best crocodile displays. There are also plenty of hippos, fish eagles and shore birds.

– Visit Nechisar National Park.

Its varied terrain spans escarpments, swamps and forest. Zebras and gazelles roam the vast savannahs of the Nechisar Plains. The large, brown-red Lake Abaya sits on the north side of the mountainous “Bridge of God” isthmus. To the south is Lake Chamo, known for its big Nile crocodiles. The park is home to many birds, including the rare Nechisar nightjar.

– Visit the Dorze people :

Famous for their skills in cotton-weaving. They are also known for their intricate bee-hives looking huts.
