I have visited this park in 2016. You will see nature in its place. You love to see Wildlife here and their. You drive from main road about 30min and see Awash river. It has amazing look and feel here.

It's my first time to go hiking alone. Awash is very hot, mosquitoes will eat you alive so dress for hot weather and remember to take buzz off or something like that. But I say the place is amazing, I camp for the night n it was blissful 😊. I love it

We witnessed much animal life, from Kudu, warthog, dik dik, monkeys, and crocodiles. There were many species of birds of which I cannot remember names at this time. I even felt brave enough to touch a croc's tail (with a 4 foot stick)!!

If you are lucky you can see many kind of animals, but you can be sure you’ll see crocodile in there.
