The ‘Bridge of God’, a slender but mountainous landmass distinguishing Lakes Chamo and Abaya, is home to one of Ethiopia’s final incredible wildernesses, Nechisar National Park. Counted among East Africa’s most picturesque reserves, this unexplored hiker’s paradise is a must-visit destination for enthusiasts of nature, animals, and bird-watching. Offering a variety of habitats such as dense vegetation, wetlands, acacia forests, two Rift Valley Lakes, and expansive Savannah lands, every landscape is teeming with unique wildlife. From baboons, Columbus monkeys, Swayne’s Hartebeest, zebras, Grant gazelles to crocodiles, hippos, and a diverse bird population of 350 species, there’s something for every wildlife lover. A park visitor in 2019 recounts, ‘Nechisar was remarkable in every sense, from the awe-inspiring views and interesting wildlife to the cosy, enjoyable dinners at the camp.’
