Ziway
Surrounded by volcanic hills and covering a massive 425 sq km, Lake Ziway (ዝዋይ ሐይቅ) is the largest of the northern group of Rift Valley lakes. Typically the lake earned just a quick hit on a southern sojourn, for its prolific birdlife, but there are also now some great boat trips available, as well as excellent amenities, that warrant an extended stay.
