I spent five nights at the Haile Resort in Hawassa, Ethiopia and loved it…it was a great experience at a new hotel chain (for me), one that is, interestingly, owned by a famous athlete.
The brand has since grown substantially throughout Ethiopia, adding resorts in various locations such as Shashamene, Ziway, and Arba Minch, with an ambition to become a leading hotel group in East Africa. This initiative represents a significant investment by a national hero in his home country, generating substantial employment opportunities and contributing to regional economic growth.
I’d never been to this part of Ethiopia before and found the drive around Lake Awasa quite beautiful.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
