The Guassa plateau

Day 1: Arrive at the Guassa Community Lodge at Regreg around lunchtime, meet up with guide and check in.

After a short rest, take a short trek on foot or mule back to the nearby mountaintop; an ideal spot from which to trek, offering genuinely stunning views over the Guassa plateau and the chance to spot the Ethiopian wolf. Along the trail, your guide will describe the natural surroundings as well as the history and local conservation efforts.

You will end back at Regreg, where you’ll be briefed about the upcoming treks.

Day 2: After an early breakfast, trek for two hours to Sefed Meda before driving back to Addis Ababa or onwards to the historic north.
