Dinder National Park covers the border area between Ethiopia and Sudan between the towns of Gallabat and Roseires Dam.

The Park covers 10,000 square kilometres of savannah and forest,  Plentiful birdlife can be found in the park including pelicans, stork, geese, ibis, heron and egret.

Mammals are much harder to spot, since the civil war and lack of funding many species have long disappeared from the park, with numbers of others in decline.  Bushbuck, Reedbuck, Waterbuck, hyena and baboons may be spotted, while lions and leopards reportedly live in the park they remain elusive. 

Much of the land within the park has been decimated, with the forests being cut down for firewood and land cleared for cultivation.  The Sudanese Government is trying to raise awareness and has been helping by encouraging tree nurseries for firewood. 

There are no tarred roads within the park and during the rainy season, when wildlife is more abundant around the waterholes, most roads can often be impassable even by 4WD vehicle.
