Relaxation & Scenic Escapes

Sometimes, the greatest adventure is simply to pause. Escape the pace of life on a serene boat ride across the shimmering waters of Lake Ziway, where pelicans glide and the legend of the Ark of the Covenant whispers on the breeze. Unwind at the crater lakes of Bishoftu (Debre Zeit), where you can kayak, birdwatch, or simply lounge by the water with a lakeside lunch as the sun sets in a blaze of color. Soak your cares away in the natural hot springs of Doho Lodge after a day in Awash National Park, or find peace in the cool, misty forests of Menagesha, just an hour from Addis. Retreat to the tranquil shores of Lake Wenchi, where you can horseback ride along the crater rim or meditate in the healing waters of its hot spring valley. These are journeys designed for restoration, where breathtaking beauty is your only agenda, and tranquility is your constant companion.
