Amoragedel at Hawassa is one of the destinations you can visit in Hawassa, but lacks basic amenities it only has one cafeteria not much to see just a forest and lake. No curated experience.

Must go if you are an animal lover. The park is full of animals and you can feed them yourself if you don’t mind tipping the people around you they will provide you food for animals and photo opportunities.

The wildlife is so vibrant in the park. Many animals and birds to see in close proximity. Different kinds of huge trees, and everything on the lake bank make very pictures environment. Many of the wildlifes I've seen for the very first time in my life. I was really excited and enjoyed the park. It's just pity that I found quite a lot of plastic garbage around the park.

A nice place which has preserved it's natural look. It become dusty during dry season there are different kinds of bird and the Lake View is breath taking. But it's crowded during the weekend I advice your visit during weekdays.
