The Blue Nile Falls
Half a day
August to October
The Blue Nile drops over a volcanic cliff in falls known locally as Tis Abay, smoking water. You drive from Bahir Dar, then take a short walking path over an old stone bridge. The flow varies with the season and is greatest after the rains, between August and October.
Good to know
- The flow is weaker in the dry season
- The area is currently under travel advisories
