Tsehay Dorze Lodge

Top choice in Southern Ethiopia


Perched on the edge of a cliff peacefully away from any village, this lodge boasts a sensational setting. It comprises four well-equipped new huts with views that are, without a hint of hyperbole, amazing. The old ones are more basic and, frustratingly, don't have views. Meals cost Birr130. The 1km-long 4WD-only access road is signposted 2km before Hayzo.

There's no electricity, but a generator is on hand in the evening. Village tours to seldom-visited Amara can be arranged.
