KURIFTU, LAKE TANA

WONDERFUL SUNSETS

A lake almost 100 km long, speckled with 30 forgotten islands – some with ancient monasteries. Wonderful sunsets. And, of course, Kuriftu itself.

Lake Tana has to be one of the memory high points of any tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia. Which makes the Kuriftu Resort & Spa a natural choice when you’re planning your itinerary. Set on the banks of the lake, the Kuriftu Resort is in an enviable position. The lake begs to be explored. So a boat will take you off to visit some of the 30 islands, to discover timeless monasteries and churches. Back on shore, you can cool off in the resort’s large pool, bask on the sun terrace and indulge in gourmet local cuisine, served in an elegant restaurant overlooking the water.
