Dadiban Hot Springs in Ethiopia are bicarbonate thermal springs emerging in the landscape of the Ethiopian Highlands, one of Africa's most extensive high-altitude plateaus, where geothermal activity associated with the East African Rift System produces warm, mineral-rich water in isolated mountain settings. Ethiopia's diverse geothermal resources reflect the country's extraordinary geological complexity — spanning the Afar Triangle's extreme rifting, the Ethiopian Rift's chain of volcanic lakes, and the highlands' ancient metamorphic basement — and Dadiban's springs represent one node in this vast geothermal network. The springs provide a natural thermal resource for local Ethiopian communities in a landscape of exceptional highland biodiversity, including endemic wildlife found only in the Ethiopian highlands such as the Ethiopian wolf and gelada baboon.
