Národní park Nechisar

Nech Sar, The True Natural Forest Park This park is the most accessible of the parks, with impressive or beautiful natural scenery, at an hour flight distance from Addis Ababa. The area is reputed for its abundant local springs, lakes, groundwater, and thick natural forest. Here you will find amazing kinds of insects, birds and wild animals that dwell in this forest: from cutest to the monstrous; from commonest to the rarest; from rollers to the dancers; from tunnelers to the hungers. Science has never been so wrong in differentiating a tree from a vine. Would you like to assert this? See the picture. If you want to see real-time drama of prey and predator or the chasing and the fleeing, this is the place. I once saw two 'police monkeys', armed with sticks, escorting a convicted monkey off their territory. The poop-hoarding insects, Dung Beetles, have an amazingly advanced internal GPS that allows them to navigate while rolling poop balls heavier than them. Here is the job description of a Dung beetle in this forest: find a poop, pack it, roll it, chill on it, eat it, or store it for the offspring. The dance of death by a praying mantis: the male praying mantises perform a seductive dance to attract a mate, who will later bite their heads off. When a male praying mantis starts the dance, they do it well because it is always their last dance.

This park is a highlight of Arba Minch and should not be missed! You can no longer just walk in - a paid guide is required, as is an entry fee and an armed escort. Most tour guides try to limit your visit to an hour or so, although nature lovers could easily spend several hours. While there is an area where swimming/bathing is possible, it is not advisable. In addition, note that the 40 springs are now just PVC pipes protruding from the dirt.
