The Barta Waterfalls are situated close to Bonga in the Kaffa region of Ethiopia, the main coffee growing area of the country. We returned here for a third visit with our guide Dagi of Quest Ethiopia Tours (licensed tour operator) who we highly recommend using and who was really thorough in working out yet another interesting itinerary for us. To reach the waterfall, you walk for about 1.8km through beautiful countryside with tall eucalyptus trees and verdant green meadows, dotted with grazing cows and lush green false banana. The path snakes along the hillside, passing immaculately kept tukuls with neatly swept yards and flower laden shrubs, until finally you can hear the rush of the water cascading 70m down the fern-covered rock face and into the deliciously cool water below. This time, the volume of water had increased considerably after the small rains compared to our previous visit in January.It is a really peaceful and pretty spot, well worth factoring a few hours into your itinerary to explore. We also visited a nearby market and stopped at a small village tedj house for a refreshing glass or two of locally brewed honey-made wine which was delicious, poured from a little plastic teapot into a cup and washed down with good humour and excellent company! There is also a coffee museum on the road between the falls and Bonga main town. I really hope we will be able to return again one day.

Unique Afro tropical experiences The best way to explore South Omo is to visit a few of its small towns on their specific market days, when a diverse mix of colourfully-adorned villagers can be seen buying and selling wares. Also within South Omo, the little-visited Lower Omo UNESCO World Heritage Site, set close to where the Omo River empties into Lake Turkana, protects a number of important paleontological sites
