Addis Ababa to Lake Langano

This morning, we took a flight back to Addis Ababa, met our guide and driver, and headed south into the Rift Valley to Lake Langano.
Very fertile lands with tomato, corn, and other vegetables, some seasonal lakes, and many rivers.
Most of the first couple of hours were on the toll road, then we turned off at the town of Baga for a lunch stop.
This place has many very large greenhouses for growing flowers for export. Also, a modest winery and processing facilities for fruit and vegetables.
Towards the end of the afternoon, we arrived at Sabana Lodge, our stop for the night.
This is one of the lodges along Lake Langano. Our room overlooked the lake, and outside was the sound of small yellow birds in the trees and bushes.
I wandered down to the lakeside beach, which was very quiet at this time, but I expect it to get busy in the high season.Read more
