ORYX WATCHING

When visiting Awash National Park, you can’t miss the chance to see the majestic Beisa oryx. These striking animals are characterized by their long, straight horns and distinct black-and-white markings.

You will find these beautiful creatures wandering in open savannahs and semi-arid areas of the park. They are often seen in herds, making it easier to spot them from a distance.

Oryx are known for their calm demeanor, allowing you to observe them closely without disturbing their natural behavior. They blend well with the dry landscape, so be patient and keep your eyes peeled.

For the best oryx watching experience, head to the Kudu Valley, one of the park’s prime locations. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal times as the animals are more active during these cooler hours. Hunting is also an option in this case.

Remember to bring binoculars and a camera with a good zoom lens to capture these incredible animals. Their horns and striking patterns make them a photographer’s delight.

Watching oryx in their natural habitat is a unique experience you will likely cherish for a long time. It offers insight into their lives and highlights the biodiversity of Awash National Park.
