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.
