Tour Overview
Bahir Dar is the jumping-off point for visits to the spectacular scenic and historic attractions of Lake Tana and which the biggest lake in Ethiopia- Ethiopia's giant inland sea. It’s registered in UNESCO’s biosphere reserved areas list in May 2015. In their funerary texts, the Pharaohs referred to it as "Lake Karou of the Country of the Happy." In the middle Ages, churches sought refuge on the islands of Lake Tana and due in part to the difficult access are to this day rich in Ethiopian illuminated manuscripts, religious paintings and other treasures. Lake Tana is the source and from where the famed Blue Nile starts its long journey to Khartoum, and then feeds into Mediterranean Sea.
