Mount Entoto (Amharic: እንጦጦ) is the highest peak on the Entoto Mountains, which overlooks the city of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. It reaches 3,200 meters above sea level. Overview It is a historical place where Emperor Menelik II resided and built his palace, when he came from Ankober and founded Addis Ababa. It is considered a sacred mountain and has many monasteries. Mount Entoto is also the location of a number of celebrated churches, including Saint Raguel and Saint Mary.[1] The mountain is densely covered by eucalyptus trees that were imported from Australia during the reign of Menelik II, and mostly planted during Emperor Haile Selassie's reign. Thus, it is sometimes referred to as the "lung of Addis Ababa". The forest on the mountain is an important source of firewood for the city. It was also a source of building material in earlier times.The Ethiopian Heritage Trust, a non-profit, non-governmental organization,

    My recent trip with danakil tour management to addis and lalibela(13th march), was very excellent in all manners. The Itinerary was 100% comfort to all especially for senior citizens without any rush. From start to end team took exceptional care of all needs, arranging tasty foods in right time, comfortable accommodation, punctual transportation and friendly local guides. A special mention to our tour manager Mr. Mickey, has taken care of us like a family member. His dedicated service made us very comfortable at every stage of the journey. Thanks to danakil depression team for their meticulous efforts to giving us a memorable travel experience.
