Beautiful place, lovely people, stunning scenery, and plenty of animals, including elephants, hippos, warthogs, monkeys, buffaloes in their untouched habitat (even saw fresh lion footprints). Great trekking area.

We spent 2 full days in the park. This is the best wild life I have seen until now in Ethiopia. We spotted wild elephants, buffalos, hippos, python, warthogs, monkeys, and a lot of birds. Scouts team was really professional, and we never felt in danger. The hike was nice, but very hot, do not forget to bring water, and some food. We slept in park's camping, which also have basics rooms available. We went to Chebera from Jimma, renting a mini-bus from there. It is a 120km of bad road. You need 5/6 hours to reach. But definitely worth it!
