OFFERS FIVE DIFFERENT HABITATS
It may not be possible to expect the unexpected, but – since Bishangari offers you five different habitats – you should at least prepare to be surprised.
Your first surprise could arrive as you approach Bishangari. At how many other resorts are you welcomed by noisy monkeys and wild warthogs? How many places offer you a traditional afternoon coffee ritual, followed by a meeting with the local hippos? Where else can you walk on the dry pumice stone banks of a beautiful lake? Or go riding in a forest, your horse quietly picking its way between 500 year old trees?
At Bishangari, surprises are a natural part of your tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia. Set on the banks of Lake Langano the resort invites you to visit waterfalls, watch baboons and colobus monkeys, spot up to 400 different species of birds and explore habitats like wetlands, beaches, forests, dry pumice rocks and acacia scrub.

The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
