Debre Libanos is an important monastic center for Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, the monastery there was founded by the renowned 13th century mystic, Saint Teclehaimanot and there is a small cave near the church (which is of recent construction) where he is said to have stood for seven years on one leg, until the other wasted away and dropped off. On arrival at Debre Libanos, we will first stop at the Jemma gorge. The Jemma River is one of the tributaries of the Nile, and there is a drop of nearly 1000 meters to the valley below. Here at the gorge (and in the forest around the church) we can expect to see the Banded Barbet, the Black-headed Forest Oriole, the White-billed Starling, the Red-billed Starling, the White-winged Cliff Chat, the White-backed Black Tit, the White-cheeked Turaco and Hemprich’s Hornbill. We will also see one of Ethiopia’s endemic mammals, the Gelada or bleeding-heart baboon.

This safari takes you to Chebera-Churchura National Park, one of Ethiopia’s largest and least-visited wildlife reserves—meaning fewer visitors, more wildlife, and a truly authentic safari experience. Unlike crowded safari destinations, Chebera offers vast open landscapes where animals move freely and sightings feel natural, not staged. The tour combines game drives, waterfalls, and guided walking experiences, giving you a deeper connection to the park’s ecosystems. With two nights inside the park at Chebera Lodge, you stay close to wildlife and enjoy early-morning and late-afternoon safari moments when animals are most active. Travel is smooth and well-organized with domestic flights to Jimma, comfortable private transportation, and an experienced local guide who knows the park, animal behavior, and best viewing areas. The journey ends in comfort at Haile Resort Jimma, offering a relaxing contrast after days in the wilderness.
