Holidays in Shashamane

Can't sleep? Tossing and turning all night? Could be that intrepid spirit of yours! So what are you waiting for? Get up, get yourself some brekkie and book a holiday to Shashamane!

It lies 200 kilometres to the south of the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa.

You'll discover a number of delightful natural attractions in the vicinity of Shashamane. Why not make your way 25 kilometres to Lake Awasa? Alternatively, enjoy the picturesque sights of Lake Langano, 40 kilometres away.

Go for a stroll around Wondo Genet to see if there's anything that jumps out at you. You should also think about swinging by Rastafarian Community.

Sidamo Zone Ethnographic Museum and Fish Market are close to the centre of Awassa, 25 kilometres to the southwest of Shashamane. Why not head there and have a gander?

An exciting way to explore the greater region is to partake in an outdoor adventure. Rock climbing is one of the most popular pastimes in these parts. But if that doesn't quite take your fancy, you could always go mountain climbing.

Take the worries out of travel planning by signing up for some wildlife spotting tours and wildlife safaris. Make new friends as your knowledgeable tour guide shows you everything that this region has to offer.

If the weather's fine, why not take the chance to explore the surrounding area's open-air exhibits?

You don't need to be a believer to enjoy Shashamane's churches. Learn about the local faith and find some calm while you're at it.

Your eyes shouldn't have all the fun while you're in Ethiopia. Give your taste buds a little attention too by indulging in the local food and beverage offerings. After all, you haven't truly experienced a place until you've tasted its flavours.

If you're studying a menu, there's a good chance you'll see meals featuring niter kibbeh (clarified butter and ginger) or ayibe (cottage cheese). They're some ingredients which are often used in the kitchens here.

Of course, you can't leave Shashamane without introducing your taste buds to gored gored (raw beef) or himbasha (bread). Popular with locals and considered signature dishes, they are a must-try experience for any food-loving adventurer.

A meal isn't complete without dessert, so stop stressing about counting calories for a while and indulge in one of the most enticing after-dinner treats, popcorn.

It can be a challenge to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to good quality beers, but one brew worth knocking back is lifter tella. Grab a glass and drink up!

Want to immerse yourself in the National Day festivities? Mark down the 28th of May in your diary and get ready to kick up your heels!

Backed up security checkpoints, long lines and even longer walks to the boarding gate. Airports are often very stressful places. Make things a little easier and give yourself extra time to get to Addis Ababa Airport (ADD). Situated 200 kilometres to the north, this is the nearest terminal.
