Hara Langano Eco Lodge is on the quiet far shore of Lake Langano, away from the main road. The turn is at the 209 km marker on the road from Addis Ababa to Hawassa, and the lodge is 15 km further on a dirt road. The lodge was rebuilt in 2014. Solar panels give most of its power.
What to do
The lodge has motor boats, kayaks and a sailing dinghy, so guests go out on the lake to fish or to look for birds. Hippos come to a part of the shore that the lodge returned to its natural state. Guides lead walks, bird watching, horse rides and mountain bike rides. Guests also join a coffee ceremony in the village or visit the local school. The lodge has massage treatments and a library with board games.
Rooms
Guests stay in cottages called godjos. There are three types: lakeside, lake view and woodland. Each has a bathroom with a shower, a private veranda and two double beds, so it takes up to four people. Breakfast is included.
Dining
The restaurant stands back from the shore with a view over the lake. It serves Ethiopian dishes and European food. The fish comes from the lake.
