Birhanu is THE BEST !!! For many years, he has been organizing boat tours with us , for me and my friends, also good for children and teenagers ! He is a very safe boat driver, the boats are in excellent condition, he is attentionate, careful, very reliable and he takes a lot of time to to allow you to do birdwatching, hippos watching, on the way to the different islands and monastries. His excursions are a fantastic break during your journey to Ethiopia, a wonderful peaceful time on the lake ... amongst tankwas ( papyrus boats) and fishermen , in a so beautiful nature ... Birhanu is a very good birds specialist, he always has his birds books on board and can show you which birds you just discover ...He knows where to find birds, hippos, huge lizards , pelicans and much more, his english is good ... His boat place is in shumeabo park, neat Tana Hotel, everyone knows the place ! Just go for Birhanu !

We took a boat to explore lake Tana and visiting the old monastery situated in an island. The monastery has noons a monks and many antique books. We also visit the old church with very interesting religious paintings and saints from Ethiopia.

Our guide took us to the local market, colorful with fruits, vegetables, spices, hardware, textiles, lots of people... one guy took out his phone and made like he was taking our picture and we all had a good laugh. While the market was interesting, perhaps our most lasting vision is of an American woman from the US watching the scene with a look of horror and disgust. No gigantic chicken breasts on a styrofoam tray wrapped in plastic in this market, lady. Just nice, natural stuff being traded by happy people.

I take a boat to this old and amazing monastery with my friends. The church is very old it has 900 years old with old birhana books and cross. If you got the lake monastery don't miss to see debremariam. Highly recommended
