Relaxing & Hiking at Wenchi Crater Lake and Negash Resort

Please note that this proposed itinerary is just an idea from us for you. As the tour is a private trip you are fully flexible on you time schedule and activities.

Travel: 3-4 h; 120 km

Your driver meets you at your appointed place in Addis Ababa at 6:30am and you drive to Wenchi Crater Lake. With some snacks on board you can enjoy the 3 to 4 hour drive. Upon arrival a cosy pick nick spot will be prepared for you breakfast before the hiking. Take this chance to decide with your local guide which hiking route is best for you as there are easy and flatter trails along the crater rim and more challenging and steeper ones down into the crater or even surrounding the lake.

Your time at Wenchi will be wonderful as the scenery is beautiful everywhere no matter if you do some walks around the shore or if you cross by boat to discover more remote parts of the crater. Locals provide also horses to do some parts on the horse back.

After your visit your driver will bring you to Negash Resort in Wolisso for your overnight stay.
