Trail Rides
These horse rides are taken in the rollicking hills around Menagesha town, just twenty kilometers from Addis Ababa. You’re only thirty minutes from the capital on a good asphalt road but already in some of Ethiopia’s most beautiful countryside. The volcanic plug of Menagesha, with its orthodox churches, juniper forest and wildlife –much easier to get closer to on horseback- is one destination.
The Saturday horse market of Guddu with its hundreds of horses and cattle and brightly dressed Oromo women selling coffee beans, soap and plastic Chinese sandals, just a morning’s ride away, is another. The lake of Gefersa and its migrating birds, even the Entoto hills above the city, are all a short gallop away. And then, there are the unlimited vistas of the highlands, perfect horse riding country, where you can ride out for a drink in the local version of the country pub.
