It’s a nice lake but honestly not so special. You can see hippos in one place, which is nice. The monestries are also nice and you see how the locals live there. But its ridiculous how they overcharge the souvenirs there. The rides are long and boring.

I love the Lake. It is beautiful and refreshing. Boat ride to visit the monasteries is a bit long.

Love this lake it's so beautiful and has lots of wildlife in it including different species of birds and hippos the islands are lovely and the churches in them are as well

Huge lake with more than 30 islands and a majority of them have churches on the island. This is really unusual and highlights the importance of Christianity in Ethiopia. Didn't expect the lake to be so big requiring more than an hour boat ride to reach some of the islands. Interesting to learn that Lake Tana was formed by volcanic activity!

Being at Lake Tana really refreshes your soul. Don't forget eating fish in the near by restaurants. I had a good meal at YESHI FRESH ASSA :) የሺ ትኩስ አሣ around st. Michael Church.

See the fisherman on a papyrus boat and pelicans following him. Must visit one of islands and see the fascinating paintings inside the monasteries.

Lake Tana is my number 1 favorite lake in Ethiopia, I never get tired of looking at the beautiful lake wave. I studied in Bahir Dar University at Poly Campus, so I had the chance to stay in that city for about 5 years, and the lake view was my favorite view, beside the nile waterfall of course 😅. Everyone should plan on visiting Bahir Dar to see this magnificent water view!!

Take a boat ride at the main dock. You can see hippos and water birds like Saddle billed storks, Sacred Ibis, Great Cormorant, African Fish Eagles, and so many more. Leave in the morning, water gets choppy in the afternoon. Also, there is a walkway around the lake. Thrre are gardens, coffee bars, and secret card games.

Lake Tana! It is so amazing place with it's island! About 15 meters depth&1735 elevation! It has so many secret related to Orthodox tewahdo church! U must visit this lake if u r alive!

I just love this lake. It has amazing land scape. The water is blue and very comfortable to swim. I saw lots of birds around which is scenic to watch. I saw hippo in there. There are tourist boats to have a tour around. If you want to hire, please bargain hard. Must carry drinking water and foods like light snacks.

One of The largest lake in Africa, there are more than 39 monasteries,
