Lake Langano, situated in Ethiopia's Rift Valley, is renowned for its striking rust-colored waters, a result of its high mineral content. Located about 200 kilometers south of Addis Ababa, it offers a convenient escape from urban life, inviting both local and international visitors to enjoy its serene shores. Unlike many other Ethiopia's highland lakes, Langano is bilharzia-free, making it an ideal spot for swimming and water sports. The surrounding landscape features a mix of acacia forests and savannah grasslands, attracting birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts eager to spot various bird species and local wildlife, including warthogs and baboons.

An Ideal for getting away from town and unwinding. Refresh your mind by looking for or swimming in the calm and serene lake. You can go for a walk on the beach. If you're in a group, you can also play football as well as volleyball. It is truly a wonderful place to relax. I suggest You visit this place. You would have a fantastic time.

Langano is one of the must see places in Ethiopia. About a hundred miles of Addis Abeba, Langano offers a huge lake to swim, boating, or fishing. The area has also multiple hiking areas for beggars and experienced hikers.
