The trip to the lake was amazing. Driving through the savanna and farmland of the Rift Valley with the occasional acacia tree and mountains in the distance was the quintessential African scenery. The road is a modern divided highway - safe and quick. Lunch was delicious. A traditional coffee warmed us up as it was cooler. The lake is gorgeous. We saw SO many birds!!! Overall fabulous trip.

I had a great time on this Day Trip tour from Addis to Lake Ziway - my tour guide Bre was super kind, knowledgable and accommodating. We saw birds, hippos, local communities and incredible scenery. I would highly recommend this tour - even for solo travelers like myself. The driver was great, safe and on-time. The drive from Addis to the lake is about 2 hours, but the landscape along the way was incredible. It really made my time in Addis special.
