Walk between various monasteries inside the forested Zeghe Peninsula that is full of birds and vervet monkeys. You will also enjoy a boat ride on the scenic Lake Tana, do a hike at Ararat Hill and visit the impressive monastery of Ura Kidane Mihiret



After breakfast, the Ethiopian tour guide will pick you up at your hotel and then walk to the harbor. 


Take a boat that will take you to the outlet of the Blue Nile, Lake Tana, for watching hippos and birds. Before or after you see fishermen with tankwa (a vessel boat that made out of Cyprus papyrus plant) and then ahead to Mehal Zeghe Giorgis monastery, the place where the boat will drop you and start your trekking on the peninsula.
