    Debre Libanos is an important monastic center for Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity. The monastery was founded by the renowned 13th century mystic, St Teklehaimanot. Before driving back to Addis, we will stop at the Jemma River Gorge. The Jemma River is one of the tributaries of the Nile, and there is a drop of nearly 1000 metros to the valley below. We will walk downhill to the 17th century Portuguese Bridge. Here we can expect to see plenty of birdlife including 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, white cheeked Turaco and Hemprich's hornbill. We will also see one of Ethiopia's endemic mammals, the Gelada or bleeding heart baboon. Leaving the Gorge we drive back to Addis Ababa.

  • Portuguese Bridge, Debre Libanos, Ethiopia
    Portuguese bridge near Debre Libanos was erected by the Portuguese in the 16th century; it was actually built at the turn of the 19th century by Ethiopians, albeit in the old Portuguese style. The narrow span makes a pretty picture and the gushing (in the rainy season) cascade just below it is even more impressive

We started our trip to Debrelibanos and Portugal Bridges at 2:00 am with our guest Sophia. We were looking at the beautiful natural vegetation and landscape. We entered Debrelibanos at 1:30. We saw a place and an ancient tower and we also saw animals like chilada baboon and had a very pleasant day with sopihiya.

I had a fun adventure with guides Ibrahim and Amir! The drive to Debre Libanos was stunningly beautiful and Ibrahim taught me Amharic as we drove. We were lucky and got to see the Gelada Baboons. The Portuguese Bridge is more beautiful than I had imagined and I loved getting to explore that area and have lunch overlooking the Blue Nile River. In the morning I was picked up from my hotel, which was very convenient. We drove to their main office and did wait about 1.5 hours before leaving, but I think this delay was mostly related to the other clients having a flight delay. I felt safe as a solo female traveller. Overall it was such a great experience!

This tour was probably the highlight of Ethiopia from Addis. My tourguide Haben was terrific and quite knowledgeable. I got picked up in the morning from my place and transferred to the office which is where I met other tourists. Then from there, we started the tour. It was a quite long drive. We went to Debre Libanos monastery. I am not Christian but the architecture over there is quite interesting. The monastery is very orthodox and it has few rules, one of them is something I never heard like no intercourse for 48hrs before heading into church. Then after that, while on drive to Portuguese bridge we spotted few Gelada baboons which are quite fascinating. Near to bridge, we stopped by for authentic Ethiopian lunch which is really delicious and has some great views. Finally we went to the Portuguese bridge and the place where you see waterfalls. This is great viewpoint and great place for picture.
