1 review of Windy Point

Stunningly beautiful

Windy Point is the English name given to one of the most beautiful parts of Ethiopia, although that is not really what it is called. This is a wonderful location very near Omo Park, east of the country, it is stunningly beautiful, especially the impressive gorges and precipices. It is not very well known and is rarely visited for two reasons, because Ethiopia still not a major tourist destination, and least not this part of Ethiopia, and because the only way to get here is via a few dirt roads that are quite complicated and inaccessible in the rainy season (they become really muddy and impossible to drive).

This area separates the valleys of the Kivish and the Rift through a very narrow passage, it has some impressive courtyards of more than 500 meters. When you look out these cliffs seem to just be the world, really, you feel incredibly dizzy (even those who do not suffer from this phobia). Reportedly, in the military era dictator Mengistu came here to charge people, something incredible. In this area the vegetation is completely wild, everywhere you look you find hundreds of different greens that create an idyll, like out of a science fiction movie. The fauna is very diverse, and you can see all kinds of animals, the most prominent being vultures.
