From Addis Ababa: Lake Ziway Group Tour and Birdwatching

Make the most of your layover with a tour of Lake Ziway and its surroundings. Enjoy a boat trip on the lake, see the Ethiopian countryside, and learn about local farming and agriculture.
Leave the airport behind and embark on a flexible nature experience designed for transit passengers and layover visitors. Head to Batu, also known as Ziway, a scenic destination surrounded by beautiful countryside, agricultural landscapes, Lake Ziway, wetlands, birdlife, and vibrant local communities.

As you leave the urban environment behind, the landscape changes. See agricultural fields, rural settlements, livestock, trees, green vegetation, and people working around their farms.

One of the main attractions of the experience is Lake Ziway, a large freshwater lake surrounded by beautiful landscapes and important habitats for birds and other wildlife. Depending on your available time and local conditions, enjoy a lakeside walk, photography, birdwatching, or a boat trip.

For travelers with enough time, a boat trip on Lake Ziway can be one of the highlights of the layover experience. From the water, experience the lake from a completely different perspective. Enjoy panoramic lake views, photograph the surrounding landscape, observe waterbirds, and experience the peaceful atmosphere of the lake.

Lake Ziway is particularly interesting for travelers who enjoy birds and nature. The lake and surrounding wetlands provide habitat for numerous water-associated birds and other species.

This experience is not only about the lake. One of the most interesting parts of traveling toward Ziway is seeing Ethiopia's agricultural landscape. The countryside provides opportunities to observe farming activities and rural life.
