A perfect day trip to Lake wenchi from Addis Ababa from Addis Ababa Day Trip to Lake Wenchi

Wenchi Crater Lake tours natural beauty and cultural diversity. From boat excursions on the peaceful crater lake to trekking around the rim and viewing local communities, the journey is unforgettable.
Embark on a full-day excursion from Addis Abeba to the center of an extinct volcano and see the tranquility of rolling farms, verdant valleys, and waterfalls as you depart from the hustle and bustle of the city to Wenchi Crater Lake. You may reach the lake's shore on foot or by bike along a path that winds its way through verdant fields and quaint towns for 2.5 miles (4 km). Enjoy serene dockside views of the lakeshore while hiking or riding a mule along the coast or setting off on a boat tour of the lake's few islets. After breakfast, we'll get back on the road and continue west on the brand-new Ambo route. On our way to Ambo, which is about 120 km away from the capital, we will go through Menagesha Forest on the north side of the road, the Holetta River (which is a branch of the Awash), and the little village of Addis Alem. Three of Ethiopia's main river basins—the Awash, the Omo, and the Guder—intersect in the region between Addis Alem and Ambo. We will stop for refreshments in the town of Ambo, the source of Ethiopia’s most renowned mineral water, before heading up approximately 1000 meters (27 km) to the rim of the Wonchi crater. From there, guests will be able to witness one of the most stunning sights in Ethiopia, including green woods and a lake with islands. We have the option to abandon our cars here and descend on foot or horseback, or we may drive down to the crater. After enjoying a picnic lunch, we will explore the surrounding forest on foot or horseback. We will stop at the hot springs and take a dug-out boat to the island to see the church. Our return to Addis Ababa will commence in the middle of the day.
