Located on the edge of tranquil Lake Babogaya, Salayish Lodge and Park is the perfect place to relax during your stay in

Ethiopia. The lodge consists of six traditionally built bamboo huts in a lush garden filled with avocado, mango and coffee trees, and one deluxe honeymoon suite with panoramic views over the lake and surrounding countryside. Just 1 hours’ drive south of Addis Ababa, and easily accessible by public transport, Salayish Lodge provides an ideal weekend break from the city. International travellers wanting a relaxing place to stay at the beginning or end of their Ethiopian travels can go directly to Bole airport from Salayish. (Airport pickup can be organised). Enjoy the menagerie of animals, beautiful sunsets, and simple, fresh meals cooked over a wood fire stove – then finish your evening around a campfire sipping home-made tej (honey wine). During the day you can enjoy a horse-ride, do some bird-watching, or visit some of the other crater lakes in the Debre Zeyit area.
