Holidays in Awassa

When your boss is on your back cos you've chucked too many sickies, it's time to break free from the corporate treadmill and say hello to Awassa!

The nation's capital city, Addis Ababa, sits around 220 kilometres to the north of Awassa.

Search for bargains or do a little memento shopping at Fish Market.

Head out to Sidamo Zone Ethnographic Museum and check out what's on offer. Then, if you've got a bit of spare time, pick up a bite to eat and go to Lake Awasa.

We also suggest hopping in a car and finding your way to Shashamane. It's about 25 kilometres to the northeast and known for Wondo Genet and Rastafarian Community.

Getting out and experiencing the surrounding landscape doesn't get much better when you can choose from activities like rock climbing and mountain climbing.

Let someone else take care of the details and meet new people on some wildlife spotting tours and wildlife safaris.

If you were to ask some locals about activities in the surrounding area, you'll often be advised to check out the lovely open-air exhibits.

Are you yearning for a bit of peace and quiet? Don't be surprised if you find what you're seeking at Awassa's churches.

Titillate your taste buds and fill your Instagram feed with drool-worthy images by tucking into some of the region's finest food and drink offerings. Just make sure you hashtag 'yum'!

Typical fare here tends to include niter kibbeh (clarified butter and ginger) and ayibe (cottage cheese), two regularly used ingredients for which the local area is famous for dishing up.

No true foodie would leave Awassa without trying one or two of the signature recipes, such as gored gored (raw beef) and himbasha (bread).

Dessert is always a good idea, so why not get stuck into a little popcorn? It's worth every heavenly calorie!

If you love a satisfying beer, sit down at a comfy bar and request lifter tella. It's best enjoyed alongside some joke-cracking and mingling with the regulars.

If you're planning on visiting Awassa in May, you'll want to be here on the 28th for National Day. There's always a hum of excitement in the air on this national day of celebration.

With a bit of planning, making your way to Addis Ababa Airport (ADD), the closest airport, won't be too hard. It's some 220 kilometres north of the centre of Awassa.
