Privat Menagesha Suba Forest vandre- og sightseeingtur
Beskrivelse
Det ældste fredede område i Østafrika, Menagesha Suba Forest, har været beskyttet ved kejserligt dekret siden midten af det 15. århundrede. Med sine 2500 ha repræsenterer det det største tilbageværende område af oprindelig skov i Addis Abeba-området, og er som sådan et glimrende sted for vandreture, fuglekiggeri og vilde dyr. Her kan du bestige Damocha Peak (3385m), se skovpattedyr såsom guereza-aber og den endemiske Menelik's Bushbuck og se efter endemiske fuglearter, herunder etiopisk oriole, gulfrontet papegøje, sortvinget dvergpapegøje, båndbarbet, abessinisk spætte og abessinier kattefugl.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Kun 40 km fra Addis Ababa tilbyder Menagesha Suba Forest et frisk pust og et meget kontrastfyldt landskab. Her kan du sno dig gennem skovstier, støde på endemisk dyreliv og endda vandre til toppen af Mt Wuchacha (3380m). På den vestlige skråning af dette krater siges nogle af de gigantiske enebær- og wanza-træer (Podocarpus) at være over 400 år gamle.

Be aware of the altitude if you are not used to it. The scenery is beautiful. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you and hope to see you again!
Aman Ethiopia Tours, as always, helped me have a few of the best trips of my life at a very low price. A similar trip that they recommended to me was the trip to the Suba Forest. It was $199 each for me and my wife, but the price was nothing compared to the natural scenic beauty that we got to experience. The song of birds and the fresh fragrance of the forest made the entire environment feel like heaven. We also got a guide for us, who was extremely helpful and professional, guiding us through the forest and helping us with more details about it.
We had an amazing day with Biruk the owner of Venture Ethiopia, the pick up was perfect he arrived 10 min after and he even let me change the pick up location one day before without problems. We felt very good during all the tour , very friendly, correct and intelligent guide and very good driver. He made sure we were comfortable all time and we had great conversations while he showed us Menagesha Forest. The place is stunning we got the chance to see baboons, gelada monkeys and endemic ethiopian birds and vegetation. Would recomend 110% to visit it and to chose him as a guide.
Having grown up in Ethiopia and once visited Menagesha (albeit, over 25 years ago) I initially thought of organizing this hike for my girlfriend and I by myself (and just hiring transportation to & from there). In hindsight I am happy I did not. Booking through Venture Ethiopia/Biruk was an excellent decision. Starting in the morning, we headed out from my home in Addis and picked up lunch along the way. The road to menagasha is very difficult but Biruk had the appropriate vehicle and was very careful to minimize the bumping and jostling. Once there, we got a local guide (as required) and, after hearing the various hike options, chose the 4 hour hike. I can't describe how amazing Menagesha Park is; you do not need to be a nature lover to appreciate it, it is truly spectacular. It is shocking how this park is not on every hiker's or tourist's go-to bucket list. The experience would not have been the same without the assistance of Biruk of Venture Ethiopia. His passion for nature and his dedication to crafting the perfect outing cannot be matched. He hears what you want and will plan the trip to enhance the experience. For example, he knew we wanted to be out in the woods as long as possible so he took his time and set a pace that would maximize our time in the forest. The location he picked to stop and eat lunch was high on a hill overlooking the landscape. Visitors to Addis - expats, diaspora, tourist - if you have a day where you want to be active, this is THE trip to book and THE guide you want to have.
