Day 5: Arba Minch/Nech Sar
Early
morning drive to Nech Sar National Park about 30 minutes. In the
experience of many visitors, Nech Sar National Park ranks as one of the
most beautiful places in the tropical savannahs.
It is a small
park of 514 sq kms (201 sq miles) located on an outstandingly scenic
part of the Rift Valley floor. Sandwiched between two lakes (Chamo and
Abaya) and bordered in the east by the Amaro Hills, the central plains
of this park seem from a distance to be very pale, thus giving rise to
the name Nech Sar or "white grass."
The park is home to Burchell’s zebra, Grant’s gazelle and the endemic Swayne’s hartebeest. The two adjoining lakes - Chamo and Abaya, support a considerable population of Nile crocodile and concentration of Nile perch. We will overnight at Arba Minch.
