Encompassing an area of about 30,000 square meters, Evangadi Lodge and Campsite is located 850 km 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.
