BAHIR DAR
Bahir Dar Tranquillity – Journeying into Ethiopia’s Lake Paradise!
Located in northwestern Ethiopia, Bahir Dar is the capital city of the Amahara region. The city serves as the perfect base to explore the Zege Peninsula, the Blue Nile Falls, and Lake Tana. Lined with wonderful gardens and palm trees, Bahir Dar is famous for its wide avenues.
The city is often the first stop outside of Addis Ababa for visitors exploring Ethiopia’s northern circuit and serves as a great introduction to Ethiopia Tours. The islands of Lake Tana are home to ancient churches and monasteries that were built centuries ago, making for some great historical tours.
The months of July and August experience the most amount of rainfall and the climate is generally unfavourable for going and exploring the city. Thus, we suggest you visit Bahir Dar outside of this time.
- Tranquil boat trips on Lake Tana!
- Hiking to the Blue Nile Falls
- Visiting the Zege Peninsula
- Experiencing the local nightlife
- Buying souvenirs at the colourful marketplaces
Though it is possible to explore the wonderments of Bahir Dar Tour independently, relying on a tour expert will help you in taking care of the logistics of planning your Ethiopia Tours.
