Arrive in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s vibrant capital, founded in 1886 by Emperor Menelik II. As the third-highest capital in the world, Addis Ababa is located at an altitude of 2,500 meters, nestled at the foot of the Entoto Mountain range (3,200 meters). The city enjoys a temperate climate year-round, with an average temperature of 16°C.
After your arrival, embark on a scenic drive towards Lake Awassa, located in the heart of the Rift Valley. Along the way, we’ll make stops at several stunning Rift Valley lakes, including Lake Langano and Lake Ziway. At Lake Ziway, keep an eye out for a variety of bird species, such as the Squacco Heron, Purple Heron, Eurasian Marsh Harrier, Collared Pratincole, and Lesser Black-backed Gulls. These lakes offer a fantastic opportunity to appreciate Ethiopia’s rich birdlife.
Arrive at Lake Awassa in the evening and check in at Haile Awassa Hotel (or similar).
