What To Expect

The best way to appreciate this scenic body of water is from the crater rim at one of the hotels, drink in hand. The view is sensational. According to local lore, this, the second-deepest lake in Ethiopia, is home to a sleeping devil. From time to time his evil gases kill the fish and send them bobbing to the surface to be scooped up by delighted waterbirds.

Bishoftu

Lying just north of the town centre, Lake Hora is the wildest of Bishoftu's lakes and features some outstanding birdlife along its lushly vegetated slopes. There's a footpath around the lake, but never go alone as theft is a real concern. Sadly there's no reliable local guide that can be recommended in the area.

If you are in Addis Ababa with a free day, visiting Debre-Zeit could be a good option to spend some time. It's not far, 50 km!
Nice day out

Several things, the driver didn't speak English (even though I requested an English speaking driver/guide), he got lost, and most importantly, he didn't know/understand the itinerary. After speaking with the management of this tour company, it seems they didn't read the itinerary as well. This was a complete mess and I never got to take the actual tour, despite having to sit in a car for about 3 hours or so, round-trip. If you value your time and money, do not book this tour.
So refreshing.
