Nechisar National Park

About Nechisar National Park

Nechisar ('white grass') National Park covers 514 km² of savanna, hot springs and two Rift Valley lakes between the town of Arba Minch and the Guge Highlands. The park's name comes from the sun-bleached grass plains that host 1,500+ Burchell's zebra and the endemic Swayne's hartebeest. Lake Chamo's 'Crocodile Market' is a gravel bar where 40+ huge Nile crocodiles bask most mornings.
