The amazing Rift Valley, that crosses the horn of Africa from the Red Sea up to Mozambique, offers in the south of Ethiopia an astonishing variety of lakes and landscapes. The deep lake Shala is contrasting with its neighbour Abijata, vast and salty; and the vast savannahs are suddenly replaced by thick rainforests.
Nature lovers will regret departing this piece of heaven that offers great chances of birdwatching, trekking and also relaxing in pleasant lodges.
ACCOMODATION STANDARD: Attractive medium-high range hotels and lodges are present in the main natural attractions. Medium hotels can be found in the main cities.
WEATHER: The rainy season in the south is from April to May. Nevertheless, is possible to travel in Rift Valley year round, since during the rainy season most of precipitation is in the afternoon-evening, so it won’t disrupt the program. Temperatures range between 12º at night to a maximum of 30º in the daytime.
