Chebera Safari Lodge

Chebera Safari Lodge is the sole accommodation inside Chebera Churchura National Park, Ethiopia's best-preserved wilderness area nestled in the western Omo Gibe basin between Dawro zone and Konta Special Woreda. This intimate, private lodge offers a rare opportunity to experience authentic African safari without leaving Ethiopian borders. Wake up in sumptuous comfort surrounded by untamed nature—opening your window to lush treetops alive with birdsong rather than concrete skylines, with wild animals roaming freely just hundreds of meters away. The lodge sits within an 11,900-hectare sanctuary that shelters 37 larger mammal species including elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, hippopotamus, and greater kudu, plus 140 bird species with five endemic to Ethiopia. The lodge's philosophy centers on reconnecting guests with nature while maintaining friendly, authentic, and professional service. The setting ranges from 500-2000m elevation, creating diverse ecosystems and spectacular landscapes. Located roughly 110km south of Jimma via the Addis-Jimma-Ameya road or accessible via Shashemene and Sodo, Chebera Safari Lodge caters to travelers seeking genuine wilderness immersion without sacrificing comfort and hospitality. The property has garnered media attention, including features on TFI Info TV, establishing itself as a premier safari destination for those wanting to explore one of East Africa's most pristine and recently developed national parks while supporting community-based tourism.
