| Encompassing an area of about 30,000 square meters, Evangadi
Lodge and Campsite is located 850km south of the Ethiopian capital
city (Addis Ababa). It derives its name from its rich cultural
surroundings. The word Evangadi refers to the cultural and traditional
night dance of the Hamer people. Evangadi Lodge is a branch
of Swaynes
Hotel (located in Arba Minch).
Evangadi Lodge and Campsite is located on the east side of
Turmi town. From here visitors can enjoy half- or full-day
excursions to different tribes in the villages. These people
are mostly nomadic pastoralists with their own language, unique
lifestyle and culture (ceremonies, dances and traditional
dress). Turmi also has an attractive local open market where
you can see their body decorations locally prepared from soil.
The lodge and campsite is constructed and furnished with
artistic and comfortable features. The campground is set under
the shade of acacia-dominated woodland, which is also an excellent
habitat for many bird species such as hornbills, woodpeckers,
weavers, doves, starlings, sunbirds, etc. In addition, the
campsite offers the opportunity to enjoy nights under starry
African skies. You may also choose to relax in our fixed tents
or bungalow complete with furniture. Fresh drinks are at your
disposal.
