Wenchi Crater Retreats

High in the green highlands west of Addis Ababa lies Wenchi Crater Lake — a serene world carved by an ancient volcano and blessed with fresh mountain air, glistening blue waters, and rolling emerald hills. Here, time slows down, inviting you to breathe deeply and reconnect with nature after your northern or southern safari adventure.

Take a scenic boat ride to Cherkos Monastery Island, walk through lush trails that circle the crater rim or soak in the natural hot springs that flow quietly down its slopes.

Stay at one of Wenchi’s inviting lodges where rustic charm meets gentle luxury. Sip Ethiopian coffee on your terrace as the sun dips behind the crater, enjoy farm-to-table meals made from local harvests and unwind by a glowing fire under a sky of countless stars.

Whether you seek stillness, romance, or simply a moment to rest before continuing your travels, Wenchi offers the ultimate AbySavana sanctuary — nature, serenity and culture intertwined.

A Gentle Pause Between Journeys

After the wild beauty and exhilaration of your safari, retreat to Kuriftu Resort & Spa Bishoftu — a sanctuary of calm nestled beside a shimmering crater lake, just an hour from Addis Ababa.

Here, serenity takes center stage. Unwind by the pool, melt away the journey’s fatigue in the spa and sauna, or let your senses drift during a gentle massage using Ethiopia’s natural oils. Every moment is designed for renewal.

Surrounded by tropical gardens and soft lake breezes, Kuriftu offers exquisite dining, elegant suites, and the warmth of true Ethiopian hospitality — the perfect AbySavana ending: peaceful, indulgent and beautifully unhurried.
