Dinsho & Gaysay Grassland
Dinsho / Gaysay
Northern grasslands and woodland where the national park headquarters sits. Mountain nyala, Menelik's bushbuck and warthogs are easy to see up close.
Dinsho is home to the park headquarters and ticket office. A short nature trail on the hill beside it winds through juniper and St John's wort. You often see mountain nyala, found only in Ethiopia, as well as Menelik's bushbuck, Bale bushbuck and warthogs. Gaysay Grassland to the west is an open highland wetland where mountain nyala roam in herds, and it is also a good spot to watch highland birds such as the blue-winged goose. The headquarters has a small nature exhibition. Guides and horses can be hired there, and it serves as the starting point for hikes into Sanetti and the Web Valley.
