A Rift Valley park pairing shallow, alkaline Lake Abijatta with the deep crater waters of Lake Shalla, separated by a strip of acacia woodland. Great white pelicans and flamingos gather in vast numbers, and hot springs steam on the Shalla shore. Its easy distance from Addis Ababa suits a short wildlife stop between southern destinations.
