An exclusive mountain biking adventure in the verdant southwest of Ethiopia.

Imagine riding on back roads and trails through less visited, green, mountainous and peaceful parts of Ethiopia to the south west of Addis.

We have an exciting Mountain biking adventure starting on the edge of the Rift Valley in Gurage Zone following the western ridge of the Rift Valley south with ridge rides along the edge of extinct volcanoes, challenging climbs and thrilling downhills, all through beautiful countryside along the Rift Valley escarpment. One  highlight are the views over the flooded Omo canyon as the sun goes down. We will explore the cultures of the southwestern peoples, including Gurage, Wolaita, Kambata, Tembaro and Sidama people who are all known for their hospitality.

On this tour you will enjoy authentic experiences, trying local food, drink and dancing. We will spend nights camping in beautiful locations and other nights in local hotels (at varying levels) enabling us to get a shower and charge our equipment.

Our cook team will look after us on camp and we will enjoy local food when in hotels. We will finish the trip near near Awassa and you will have a choice of a flight back from the nearby airport, or to drive back with the team from Awassa to the Expressway and on to Addis.
