Negash Resort

What an exceptional experience at one of the nicest resorts in Ethiopia. The attention to biodiversity and cultural diversity are wonderful. If you would like to experience a beautiful Ethiopia experience you will enjoy your time at Negash. This would be a wonderful add on to hiking Wenchi volcano crater.

We stayed at the Dorze hut for one night as a family and it was a great experience for us. We enjoyed the complete nature surrounding the complex. The names of different kinds of trees are labled on the trunks making them educational. Our early morning visit to the horse ranch was unforgetable. The breakfast accomodation was excellent. We are looking forward to coming back for longer stay. Wifi connection could be improved.

We stayed in the Addis Ababa rooms and it was pretty gross. Rat turds on and in the bed. No water. When the water was turned on it was a trickle. I asked for shampoo. No shampoo. Not even in the ‘spa’. The staff, however, were amazing, helpful, and friendly. The breakfast is really nice. But, the room was awful. I barely slept with the mosquitoes and the sound of a rat gnawing on something in the middle of the night. The bathroom shower gets water everywhere, so it becomes a mess. I do not recommend. Or see if you can stay in one of the family rooms. It’s peaceful and the monkeys are fun to watch, but the price for the couples rooms is NOT worth it.

Refuge from the chaos of Addis We had a very peaceful and pleasant stay. The gardens are large, lots if flowers, large trees, birds, and monkeys. The facilities need some maintenance and the trash should be picked up from the gardens. A great value and a nice refuge from Addis. Horses were fun and the staff were very helpful. The restaurant had good food.

Die Negash Lodge gab es schon zu meiner ersten Zeit in Äthiopien (2010-2015) Der Springbrunnen ist nicht mehr vorhanden und der Pool ist oft leer. Durch die politische Lage wird die Negash Lodge nicht mehr so von Ausländern und von Äthiopiern aus Addis besucht. Es ist aber sehr schade, weil man dort echt in der grünen Oase mit seinen verschiedenen Häusern(Zimmern) in den verschiedenen Baustilen des Landes gebaut, seine Ruhe findet. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht und die Speisen sind lecker. Von der Lodge kann man zu Fuß in die Stadt gehen und auf dem Weg dorthin gibt es viele kleine Shops und kleine Restaurants.
