Lake Tana


Lake Tana was described by a 5th century Greek dramatist as the "copper-tinted lake...that is the jewellery of Ethiopia". (Bradtguide, 6th edition, p. 189)

Fancy for a tropical site in Ethiopia? Lake Tana then is the right place to go....it is renowed for its three-dozen (and more) islands, its varried birdlife and the different fish species. Bahir Dar is the largest city in the Tana region, and the ideal base to view the Blue Nile Falls and the myriad monasteries dotted around the lake.
