The Best Time to Visit Awash National Park is from October to February. The reason for this is that these months are less hot and experience very little rainfall. Plus, it’s also a great time for a birdwatching experience as Palearctic migratory birds remain in the country from November to March.
July and August experience the most amount of rainfall and travelling to the park can be a bit more challenging at this time. Tough one major advantage of visiting Awash National Park in the wet season (from July to September) is that lower rates will apply.
Thus, Awash National Park can be visited throughout the year and both sets of seasons have their distinct advantages.
Let’s have a look at some of the major Things To Do In Awash National Park:
- Birdwatching and Photographic Tours
- Wildlife viewing
- Taking a visit to the Filwoha Hot Springs
- Hiking up the Fentale Volcano

- Visiting the Awash Falls
If you prefer a low-key adventure that features some amazing birdwatching, hiking, and cave exploration possibilities? That too on the background of volcanic cones and fissure surroundings, then Awash National Park makes for a terrific inclusion on Ethiopia Tours itineraries.
