A water and rock-dwelling beyond time |
The photos of water-filled streams, including the photo here to the left and the other images with cascading bath cataracts, were shot just above Bees' Cliff (14) at Entoto's southern highland plateau from early October to the beginning of November. All these active water sports photographs have been about one to two months since the long rainy season ended. Hence, the brooks and waterfalls from the season in these photos only contain chilly and purging spring water that fills the waterways.
Seasons for Swimming or Hiking.
The bottom right corner of this picture shows the direction of the hidden vault and the waterfall with its abyss, which both appear very abrupt within a few metres. Despite the period that has passed from these photo opportunities and the last rains being over a month, it is still a great asset for bathing and fresh spring water flow on the higher ground of Entoto. But for those hilarious adventures, it would have been even more suitable if they had occurred a month earlier and thus offered even more fun, spontaneous bath activities.The Dramatic Beauty and Adventure of the Highland
With Great Wildlife Views and Meandering Streams
This place is the invitation to the high plateau, shown in the map circle (14) with the dramatic beauty and cliff-hanger Bees' Cliff, located within the centre of the map's sphere (14). This initiation to the high table offers a wade over its brook (41- 42), shown within the upper part of the map circle (14). Magnificently beautiful, this place appears, shown in the picture just above, with a great panorama view over the meandering stream and many characters in the landscape. When the scene turns south, the abyss Bees' Cliff (14), the ravine, is very close, where the river's further gorge meandering (35) becomes intuitively felt through the profound cooling airflow rising from the unknown abyss below the field of view. Especially startling here is, therefore, the location of this place, the tributary (36), shown within the lower section of the map loop (14), which invites a careful study of Hyenas that much appreciate the site's freshness and natural wealth.

Indeed, the Canyon's twilight mystique can be an exhilarating experience but not an easy choice. Here, the shadows fall mysteriously as pesky creatures from the past in concealed cliff apertures with overwhelming impressions. Hence, hiking within the twilight depths of the Canyon's cleft (B)—(14) offers a unique adventure and Nature. Caution: Wild AnimalsThe Mountain's High Plateau
A Highland of Striking Beauty
Here appears the first view from the threshold of the high plateau view of striking beauty, which offers a captivating landscape in relaxing tranquillity. This serene beauty at the viewpoint (16) is delicately facilitated by the high point of view, even over the mist-veiled Capital. Much closer, the inviting native Nature of the farmhouse (39) - (B) and the Italian fortification (38) - within map circle (B) appears a theatrical view and potentially dangerous abyss a few metres to the south of the path. Yet, the grandeur of this high viewpoint (16) is also a place for deep stimuli since the high location delivers memories of beautiful gems from the preluding and most charming experiences. Hence, the beauty of this hike's adventure begins when recalling the cosily beautiful Entoto Kidane Mehret Church (32) not too far below. With its silently melodic hymns chanting spiritually through mighty walls, this venerated Sanctuary (32) shelters both people and its magnificent indigenous arboretum.The Rising Shoulder of Entoto's Massif
Relatively high on the mountain's shoulder is the beginning of the Canyon shown within the loop (B), with trails following a clear direction to Entoto's high plateau. Furthermore, these routes include exciting and surprisingly attractive paths above the eastern slope of the river bank of the Canyon (B) - (14), which are remarkably gentle to follow in the landscape. This visible clarity in the appearance and selection of trails is apparent here, thanks to the attractive overview of the sculptural introduction to this family-friendly gorge but later on, the dramatic Canyon where some cautious manner is crucial (B) - (14).

This ancient highland mountain lures here intriguingly with its remote high plateau of authentic old serenity. It towers in alluring contact on the opposite side of Entoto Kidane Mehret and its seductive polished rock-gully banks [A].The High Plateau's Brooks
Wade and Ford Crossings
This landscape within the map loop (14) is a dramatic and gorgeous beginning of the high plateau where invitingly gentle cliff formations offer this picturesque wade (41) - (42) across the stream shown within the upper right side of map loop (14), thus giving the gentle continuing promenade on the high plateau on the path (42) displayed within this map loop (14) where the trail continues towards Entoto Natural Park (Nursery). This ford crossing usually permits dry rock to wade to the west side of the meandering stream. This direction passes just a little beside the natural pools above Bees' Cliff (14) and then further north through an open forest before arriving at the Nursery (34). Although, clearly below the high plateau, the stream to the Canyon offers excellent wade at the Italian fort ruin (38) - (B), this site is, despite its dramatic views and altitude, still relatively gentle but requires caution with its nearby precipice and waterfall.

Hiking in the Park is an exciting and mysterious experience that evokes serene echoing from a past in a realm of noble origin. For any visitor to the Park, a forgotten and prehistoric presence reveals itself that has been dormant within the most precious heritage since the humans' profoundly ancient times. Thereby, the visitors' most inspiring joy and health factors find their source, thus activating the pleasure of their being.
Close Encounter With Playing Baboon Families
The Canyon's abyss and the high plateau shown within the map loop (14) are unique and promoted in many ways. Hence, prudent reservations about the impact people can exert on Nature because his site contains what is desirable for people and wildlife, a conflict of privacy, interest, and living space can occur; yet, this is also the core of the attraction in the exploration. |
| The actual waterfall and the abyss are still here, hidden but respectfully close, only some metres behind the view of the bath photo. However, this lofty concealed rock vault is a challenge with a staggering sight and a mysteriously cosy waterfall with a secret rock chamber. Bees' Cliff (14) - (Caution) |
The high plateau just at the abyss of the Canyon's waterfall - shown within the map loop (14) - emerges as an irresistible encounter for exploration and occurs when following the landscape of the map loop (B) - (14). With this gentle, meandering brook, the scene of naturally shaped cliff weirs appears in stairway formations of natural cliff pools. Soon, after these natural pools, the brook continues, and within a few 10 metres, the stream vanishes into a rock vault and a potentially dangerous waterfall with a dramatic abyss. This brook appears just here within the map circle (14), located at the eroded road (41) and the continuing trail (42) towards Entoto Natural Park (Nursery) 34.
Grandiose Views and Challenging Activities
When gazing further down from the high altitude of Bees' Cliff (14), the Canyon delivers a dreamlike view with a reminiscent, fragrant hint of Nature's serenity. Far below the High plateau's mystique, the curtains of the morning's mysterious veils reveal the Sanctuary of Entoto Kidane Mehret (32) and the Capital. While the area within the lower part of the circle (14) is lovely and gentle, the continuing upper direction of this Canyon is directly dangerous.

A Mountainous Massif with Adventures
The possibilities for activities are extensive with precious historical gems such as magnificent sanctuaries, museums, and palaces, but now also include the superb highland facilities and entertainment propagating from Entoto Park Main Entrance, marked on the maps with (Z).

| [CAUTION] - Precautionary Commitments |
**CAUTION - Bees' Cliff (14)
Bees' Cliff constitutes a hidden, unknown void, which can become a real danger and does not allow direct, easy proximity from either the east or the west side of the gorge's slopes.

The High Table's Brooks and Pools
Caution: Required Bottom Examination
This requirement of caution also applies to swimming underwater, and this is because the otherwise welcoming horizontal bottom section would be contaminated by a few surprising and hidden larger underwater stones. However, these are generally very easy to find and remove but must be considered as the dominant rainy season regularly supplies the bottoms of the pools with renewed rock bumps.
**Caution During Rainy Seasons
Since all streams around Entoto run up within a short distance to the highest part of the plateau, there is no risk of being surprised by far and accumulated sudden river flow from an unknown range. There is no known weakness in the deep rock pools that could constitute a magazine water mass just waiting to break through a weak point in the cliff bottom. However, no person should walk on the riverbanks of the ravines in the aftermath of heavy rain.
