Rift Valley Lakes

🗓️ Itinerary

• Rift Valley Lakes
  Africa?s Great Rift Valley rips a great scar through the middle of Ethiopia; a giant valley where lakes have bubbled up and forests have sprung from the ground. The warmth and humidity are a welcome break from the harsh highlands, and journeys up and down the valley reveal a variety of cultures and traditions. Strung out between Addis Ababa and Arba Minch, Ethiopia?s Rift Valley Lakes are a pleasant lowland area offering an ideal stopping point for travellers heading south. The six principal lakes of the region are Abijatta, Langano, Shalla, Ziway, Abaya, and Chamo. Beside these lakes are high-quality accommodations, excellent birding opportunities, and thriving populations of hippo and crocodile at Lake Chamo.
