What to see
The terrace looks straight into the gorge. Gelada monkeys feed on the slopes below, and large birds of prey fly along the cliffs. The Portuguese Bridge, a stone bridge from the 16th century, is a few minutes on foot along a marked path. Debre Libanos, one of the largest monasteries in Ethiopia, is a short drive away. The monastery dates from 1284.
Rooms
The lodge has 14 rooms in low stone houses with thatched roofs. Rooms have Ethiopian decoration and a private bathroom. Most have a small terrace that faces the gorge. Standard rooms have a double bed.
Dining
The restaurant has tables inside and on the viewpoint terrace, so you eat with the gorge in front of you.
Getting there
Leave Addis Ababa on the road north through Sululta and Chancho towards Fiche. The lodge is near the turn to the Debre Libanos monastery.
Good to know
The rim is high and windy, so take a jacket. Wear shoes with grip for the path to the bridge. Keep small children close near the edge. Call +251 91 134 5285 to book a room.
