Discover the serene Sodere Hot Springs Resort in Ethiopia's Oromia region, where you can unwind amidst breathtaking natural beauty. The resort's iron-rich thermal waters are rich in minerals and offer a unique experience within a long thermal tradition. As you soak in the warm waters, take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. This tranquil oasis is perfect for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.
Insider tip — Sodere Resort sits along the Awash River about 120 km southeast of Addis Ababa, where thermal springs warm outdoor pools amid dense riverside forest in the Ethiopian highlands. The site is surrounded by a nature reserve frequented by baboons and various bird species, making a soak here double as wildlife observation. The warm mineral waters contrast with the surprisingly lush riverside vegetation in an otherwise semi-arid landscape. Weekends attract Addis residents, so mid-week visits offer a more tranquil experience.
