Menagesha National Forest

Departing west from Addis Ababa, drive to the Menagesha National Forest for some hiking.  Here you will enjoy the wildlife, such as the colobus monkeys and endemic Menelik’s bushbuck, as well as birds, including the endemic Ethiopian oriole and Abyssinian woodpecker.  You can also stop at the Gefersa Reservoir, which supplies water to Addis Ababa, and is a nice birdwatching and wildlife spot.  Return to Addis Ababa in the afternoon.

It is recommended to bring a packed lunch for this trip.
