Day Trip to Lake Wenchi

enjoy the serenity of rolling farmland, lush valleys and waterfalls
Leave the city’s bustling streets for Wenchi Crater Lake, and enjoy the serenity of rolling farmland, lush valleys and waterfalls on a full-day tour from Addis Ababa to the heart of an extinct volcano. Walk or ride a 2.5-mile (4-km) trail to the edge of the lake, passing green fields and small villages. Take in views of the lake shore from a peaceful dock, with the chance to hike or ride a mule along the shore, or set out by boat to explore the lake’s small islands.

We will pick up after breakfast and then head west on the new Ambo road. We will pass Menagesha Forest to the north of the road, the Holetta River (a tributary of the Awash), and the small town of Addis Alem, where Menelik II once planned to make his capital, before reaching Ambo, some 120 km from the capital. The area between Addis Alem and Ambo contains the intersections of three of Ethiopia’s major river basins: those of the Awash, Omo, and Guder.We will stop for some refreshment in the town of Ambo, from where Ethiopia’s most famous mineral water is drawn, before driving up nearly 1000 meters (27 km) to the rim of the Wonchi crater, where visitors will see one of the most beautiful sites in Ethiopia: verdant forests and a lake with islands, all within the crater. We can leave our vehicles here and descend either on foot or on horse, or drive down all the way to the crater. We will have a picnic lunch here and spend some hours walking or horseback riding through the forest, visiting the hot springs, and taking a dug-out boat over to the island to visit the church. In midafternoon, we will start our journey back to Addis Ababa.
