VE 010B: 2 days, Debre Libanos and the Akaki-Aba Samuel wetlands
Day 1: Leave Addis Ababa early for Debre Libanos via the Sululta plain. See Day 3 of VE 002B for the rest of this day's activities. When we return to Addis Ababa, we will be staying at the Crown Hotel, on the Debre Zeit road, from where we can make an early start on Day 2. The Crown Hotel is famous for its national food, music and dancing.

The Akaki-Aba Samuel wetlands are great for aquatic birds, like Shovelers, Ruffs, Avocets, Flamingoes, Gull-billed Terns and Spur-winged Geese. Wintering common cranes can also be seen, along with highland birds like the Wattled Ibis and the Black Winged Plover. We return to Addis Ababa late afternoon, o/n Ghion Hotel.
