Weliso



 Negash Lodge

With the school closed for the Prophet Mohammad’s birthday, Frank (Boss’ poor husband) is keen to get Ginger Warrior and myself out of Addis. And he knows a choice spot some 110kms out of the city in the nondescript town of Weliso.

It is the home of Negash Lodge, a former palace of Haile Selasie. Now converted into an upmarket lodge, it boasts extravagant rooms based on tribal themes, a good restaurant and pizzeria as well as baths, spas and a swimming pool.

Once out of the city, the sealed road passes through lush farmland and tribal agricultural communities. It is truly stunning.
