Explore Afar
Explore Awash and Yangudi Rassa national parks and the Aledeghi Plains, with wildlife, birdwatching and conservation-focused planning.
River gorge, acacia savanna, open plains and arid scrub create varied wildlife habitats. Awash and Yangudi Rassa are national parks; Aledeghi is presented alongside them as a distinct wildlife landscape, not as a national park.
Confirm current access and ranger arrangements with the relevant conservation authority. Wildlife sightings and facilities change; plan for patient observation and a low-impact visit.
