MAYLEKO LODGE, GONDAR

STONE BUNGALOWS

King Fasiledes could not have imagined the modern style of Mayleko Lodge, which is a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Gondar city.

There is something satisfyingly simple, and undeniably elegant, about the individual stone bungalows at Mayleko Lodge. Outside they draw architectural inspiration from traditional Northern Ethiopian homes; built from local stone with thatched roofs and porches or verandas.

Inside they are uncluttered, featuring just a few, very carefully chosen pieces of traditional furniture. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood air and light, accentuating the dark wooden floors and white walls.

To experience a very different Ethiopia, it’s a short drive to the Royal Enclosure of King Fasiledes and wander around the ancient towers, archways and turrets. Or, alternatively, ride on horseback into the magnificent countryside that stretches out from Mayleko towards the majestic Dilha Mountain range. All part of a tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia.
