Land on one of Lake Ziway's peaceful islands for a short guided walk. Discover the island's natural beauty, enjoy panoramic lake views, and learn about its history and local significance.
Return to the lakeshore for a delicious lunch featuring freshly grilled fish prepared using local recipes, accompanied by traditional Ethiopian side dishes and refreshments.
Take a relaxed walk through the fishing village, meeting local residents and learning about their daily routines, boat building, fish markets, and lakeside traditions before beginning the return journey.
