Top Bahir Dar Port Pickup

Experience some of Ethiopia’s most beautiful attractions on an easy private day tour from Bahir Dar to Lake Tana and the Blue Nile Falls. After a handy pickup from your hotel or other location of choice, head to the picturesque lake, where you’ll board your boat. Sit back and relax as you cruise across the lake. Transfer by car to the waterfalls, nicknamed the Smoking Waterfalls—you’ll soon find out why.

World Heritage–listed Harar is a place apart. With its 368 alleyways squeezed into just 1 sq km, it’s more reminiscent of Fez in Morocco than any other city in the Horn. Its countless mosques and shrines, animated markets, crumbling walls and charming people will make you feel as if you’ve floated right out of the 21st century. It’s the east’s most memorable sight and shouldn’t be missed. As if that wasn’t enough, there are many chances to get up close and personal with wild hyenas. It’s a rare traveller who doesn’t enjoy it here.
