Lake langano

About This Place

Lake Langano is a unique and popular resort destination in Ethiopia’s Great Rift Valley, famous for its distinct copper-colored waters caused by a high concentration of volcanic minerals. Located about 200 kilometers south of Addis Ababa, it is one of the few lakes in the region that is entirely free of Bilharzia, making it a premier spot for swimming, windsurfing, and various water sports. Surrounded by sandy beaches, acacia forests, and a variety of eco-lodges, the lake serves as a major recreational hub that perfectly balances adventurous activities with a serene natural environment, often serving as a gateway to the nearby Abijatta-Shalla Lakes National Park.
