To arrive at the Babogaya Lake Viewpoint Lodge:

 

By taxi from the airport:

Our taxi can pick you up for 30 dollar anywhere in Addis,  24H/24H, also in the airport.

Many of our customers arrive by plane in Addis Ababa and come directly ( it takes 90 minutes) to our lodge.

Others are relaxing at the end of their trip in Ethiopia some days in our lodge before our taxi takes them at 8 pm directly to the airport for their international night flight to Europe.

We send you picture of our taximan and his phone, so you will meet easily.

 

By car:

Take the external ringroad by the GORO road until you enter the Highway in TULU DIMTU ( you pay 15 birr). Take the first exit called  DUKUM or Debre Zeit North.  Ones you are on the old road, follow 8 km until you see a NOC fuelstation on your LEFT side ( there is before another NOC on the right). 100 m more, there is a road to the left. Follow this road 5 km in the direction of Kiruftu. Don't take the last road right to Kiruftu but continue 50 m and you see the indication of the Viewpoint Lodge on your left side.
