Blessed with a temperate climate, grand mountain scenery, and a native tradition of four-legged transport, the Ethiopian highlands offer unrivalled Trekking opportunities. Ethiopian horses and mules are very sure footed and trail wise, and experienced English and French speaking Guides are available in our Agency.
Simien and Bale mountains National parks are the two principal, wee established areas for Trekking. Trips can be tailored by WTT to meet the individuals’ needs, whether they be one day trips around Dinsho in Bale, or Ten days hikes around a whole park or Trekking on Simien Mountains.
Conditions for sport fishing could hardly be better than in this angler’s paradise. There are over 200 species of freshwater fish in Ethiopia’s lakes and rivers, including Nile perch, immense cat fish, Tiger fish, and Brown and Rain bow trout. Very few Ethiopians are anglers so visitors will not find it difficult to locate unspoiled areas where they can fish in peace. A typical day’s fishing may also include the bonus of seeing families of Hippo, Giant crocodile, or pink clouds of flamingos. Try Lake Tana for cat fish and tilapia, the upper reaches of the Blue Nile for bar bus, or the Baro River for giant Nile perch. By far the biggest sport fishing allure, though, is the excellent trout fly fishing waters to be found in the Bale Mountains.
Reckoned by enthusiasts to be one of Africa’s premier locations for white water rafting, the Omo River’s early fury takes it through gorges hundreds of meters deep, and over evocatively named rapids- snake pit, Gypsy’s Bane, and Double Trouble. Spirited rapids, innumerable side creeks and water falls, sheer inner canyons, hot springs, abundant wildlife including hippo and crocodile, and exotic tribal peoples combine to make the Omo one of the world’s classic river adventures.
The full trip down the Omo covers 600 km in 23 days. For the less ambitious, the Awash River also offers a superb trip of one or two days on a 28 km stretch bordering the Awash National Park.
