Chebera Churchura National Park, National park in Konta Woreda, Ethiopia
The national park extends across 1215 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring diverse ecosystems from grasslands to dense forests at altitudes between 700 and 2450 meters.
The area transformed from a controlled elephant hunting ground into a national park in 2005 to protect wildlife and natural resources in the Kulo-Konta district.
The park management cooperates with local communities in the Dawro and Konta zones to maintain traditional practices while ensuring environmental conservation.
Located 483 kilometers southwest of Addis Ababa, the park receives rainfall between March and September, with temperatures ranging from 10 to 29 degrees Celsius.
Four crater lakes - Keriballa, Shasho, and Koka - complement the network of 49 perennial rivers flowing through the protected landscape.
