About Southern Ethiopia

The Ethiopian part of the Great Rift Valley cuts through Southern Ethiopia, creating a savannah landscape similar to what most people have in mind when they pictureEast Africa, but very different from most of Ethiopia. All along this valley are lakes (from north to south:Ziway,Langano,Abijatta, Shalla,Awasa,Abaya, Chamo) and national parks with wildlife. To the east of the valley are theBale Mountains, offering hiking opportunities less touristy than those attheir northern equivalent.
