Here's a selection of captivating sites around Homeland Hotel, Bahir Dar.

Semien Mountains

The Semien Mountains were formed prior to the creation of the Rift Valley, from lava outpourings 
between 40 and 25 million years ago during the Oligocene period. The volcano is believed to have 
spread over more than 5000 m2 and resulted in a thick sequence of basaltic lava some 3,000-3,500 m 
thick that was deposited on Precambrian crystalline basement. The major part of the Semien Mountains 
consists of remnants of a Hawaiian-type shield volcano.

Lake Tana

Lake Tana was formed by volcanic activity, 
blocking the course of inflowing rivers in
the early Pleistocene epoch, about 5 million
years ago. The lake was originally much larger
than it is today.

river in Ethiopia. It is known as Tis Abay in Amharic,
meaning "great smoke". It is situated on the upper
