From airport to location
Nech Sar National Park, near Arba Minch, Ethiopia, offers a captivating blend of savannah wildlife and scenic lakes. Accessibility usually requires a 4x4 vehicle due to rough roads, and guided visits are highly recommended, often mandatory with local rangers, for safety, navigation, and optimal wildlife spotting. While open year-round, the dry season (October-March) is ideal for wildlife viewing and better road conditions. Costs include park entry fees (daily for foreigners), guide fees, and vehicle hire, making it a moderately priced excursion. A typical visit duration is one full day to explore the park, including the 'Bridge of God' formation, with an optional extension for a boat trip on Lake Chamo to see crocodiles and hippos. Visitors should be prepared for sun exposure, potential malaria risk, and bring binoculars for birdwatching.
