Walk beneath towering 400-year-old Juniper and Hagenia trees in the Crown-protected forest reserve established in the 15th century.
The Ancient Canopy
Giant African juniper trees and Hagenia abyssinica form dense, moss-draped canopies that shelter Menelik's bushbucks, colobus monkeys, and rare forest birds on the slopes of Mount Wechecha.
โThe path through Oromia is best remembered through the people who share it.โ
Trails Through Time
Trekking through the misty reserve reveals cascading clear streams, fragrant wild herbs, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the central Oromia highlands.
Sustainable Guardianship
Local eco-tourism initiatives support native tree nurseries that replant thousands of indigenous saplings each year.
