Doho Lodge Hot Springs

Doho Lodge Hot Springs in the Awash region of Ethiopia's Afar Zone are bicarbonate thermal springs integrated into the guest experience of a safari lodge within or near Awash National Park, offering visitors the distinctive combination of East African wildlife game drives and natural hot spring bathing in a single destination. The springs emerge from the volcanic geology of the Ethiopian Rift and are channelled into outdoor pools within the lodge grounds, where the warm mineral water provides evening relaxation after daytime wildlife encounters with lions, leopards, crocodiles, and the park's remarkable birdlife. Doho's hot springs exemplify the Ethiopian model of integrating geothermal resources into wildlife tourism, creating wellness experiences grounded in the extraordinary natural setting of the East African Rift.
