To minimise the visual and environmental impact on the surrounding landscape, the lodge has been constructed using local natural materials. Providing a tranquillity with the verdant hills beyond the property. There is a central lodge and an attached dining room which is built in a ‘tukul’ style with a thatched roof and sweeping windows with far-reaching views of the valley and wildlife. All of the eleven guest rooms are spacious and comfortable featuring a wood-burning stove for a warm and cosy atmosphere. There is a nod to Ethiopian style throughout with soft furnishings in vibrant colours against locally sourced stone and sustainable wood. The food is authentic, traditional and wholesome featuring Ethiopian staples and cooked over an open fire.
All electric power at the lodge is generated by a 25Kw micro-hydro power plant
The lodge takes water form the river and subjects it to slow sand filtration and purification
Committed to minimising non-biodegradable waste – packaged products are kept to a minimum, food is sourced locally and, where possible, in reusable packaging
Biogas is used for cooking purposes and runs on biodegradable waste
Engage with the local community and witness a fascinating experience, of the collection of forest honey from canopy beehives. You can taste the honey and even buy it, giving something back to the people living in and around this national park.
