The Mago National Park
The Mago National Park is most easily accessed from the town of Jinka, covering an area of 2162 Km2 on the banks of the Omo River.
The park is mainly Savannah, with some forested areas around the rivers. It was set up to conserve the large numbers of plains animals in the area, particularly buffalo, giraffe, and elephant. The birds are also typical of the dry grassland habitat, featuring bustards, hornbills, weavers and starlings. Kingfishers and herons feed in and around the Neri River, which provides an alternative habitat.
The park rises in the north to Mount Mago (2528m) and is home to 56 species of mammals.
