Scroll

The Awash Falls Lodge is an eco-friendly rustic style Lodge, located in the heart of Awash National Park, 205 km East of Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa.

The rooms (they call them Tukuls) are built from traditional materials and in a traditional Ethiopian design. A few of them are situated at the edge of the cliff with a great view of Awash Gorge with verandas to sit out on and enjoy the sounds of the water.

With its unique location, you can have your meals in the restaurant with views of the waterfall and river valley. The restaurant offers the tastes of National and International foods. There is also a fully licensed bar. A lovely evening meal can be followed by a traditional coffee ceremony ran by the lodge.
