Blue Nile Falls

Blue Nile Falls, in Amhara Region, Ethiopia, is raw hydraulics: the kind of place you hear before you see. It makes a dramatic half-day between parks, and photographers should plan to get comfortably wet.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Ethiopia: The roof of Africa. Most travelers weave Blue Nile Falls into a longer route taking in Simien Mountains, Lalibela and Danakil Depression.

The operators on SafariSuite run Blue Nile Falls regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
