What To Expect

Yerer Mountain

a population of 50,000, Bishoftu is rapidly expanding. It is the site of the air force base and the veterinary institute. At an altitude of 1,900 meters it enjoys a warmer climate than the capital city. Bougain villea, flame trees and frangipani brighten the streets. Bishoftu lies within a circle of five crater lakes and is a popular weekend resort for Addis Ababa residents. Just before entering the town on the right side of the road (42 km, from Addis) there is a fruit juice café where refreshing drinks of papayas, orange, strawberry and grape juice, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables and some tinned foods, are on sale. The terrace of this little bar overlooks a shallow lake, Chalaklaka, formed by the rains which is periodically the feeding ground for about 100,000 flamingos. The main hotel, the Hara, is situated on the rim of the largest crater, Boating and waterskiing are popular and there are many species of birds for the enthusiastic ornithologist – cormorants, pelicans, grebes, shovellers, storks and a myriad of brightly coloured passerines. Continuing down the same road past the Veterinary Training Center and Experimental Station, you come to an even prettier lake where the mission has its headquarters. Other lakes in the area worth a visit are Green Lake, famous for its birdlife, and Lake Bishoftu to the south.

My day with Gashaw & the team at walk-in Ethiopia was the highlight of my stay in Addis. They were prompt, knowledgeable, friendly and easy-going yet highly professional. As a solo female traveler, they made me feel right at home and I felt as if I were traveling with friends, not alone. I was also interested in trying a butchery shop for local food and they happily accommodated my interests. We had a really fun lunch, canoed in the lake and enjoyed the coffee ceremony. Gashaw sent me many recommendations for music as I requested. Fantastic. Absolutely worth spending the money.

These guys are efficient, friendly and very helpful. Our tour guide was a 23 year old chap Yosef. I was initially unsure about him. But by the time the tour was over, he had won me over completely. He was just the kind of person you want around you. He and the driver Abraham went out of their way to look after us, cater to our requests and keep us happy. They certainly went above and beyond what was expected of them. Their boss was very easy to contact over the phone and very easy to communicate with. I will have absolutely no hesitation in going with this company again or recommending them to others.
