Ethiopia's history is unparalleled. At roughly 2,000 years old, Ethiopia is the oldest country in Africa, and one of the oldest nations in the world. It is believed that the first king of Ethiopia, Menelik I, was the son of King Solomon of Israel and the Queen of Sheba. Ethiopia is the only African country which maintained freedom from colonial rule.

Awash National Park is one of the National Parks of Ethiopia. Located 225 kilometers east of Addis Ababa (and a few kilometers west of Awash), with its southern boundary along the Awash River, and covers at least 756 square kilometers of acacia woodland and grassland. The Addis Ababa - Dire Dawa highway passes through this park, separating the Illala Saha Plains to the south from the Kudu Valley to the north. In the south of the park the Awash River gorge has amazing waterfalls. In the upper Kudu Valley at Filwoha are hot springs amid groves of palm trees.

Fauna

Wildlife in this park include the East African Oryx, Soemmerring's Gazelle, Dik-dik, the lesser and greater Kudus, and Warthogs. Anubis baboons and Hamadryas baboons are present, as well as over 350 species of native birds. Previously there were packs of the African Wild Dog, Lycaon pictus, but this species may now be locally extirpated.
