Fishing in Ethiopian lakes is another extremely relaxing sports, and lot of fishes are always found. Brown and rainbow trout abound in the torrents and rivers, as the one in Bale Mountain; while in the most Rift Valley lakes abound Nile perch, catfish, tilapia and Tiger fish. In many areas, particularly those with limestone crags, underground caves and cavers push you to Caving discoveries. As the Sof Omar cave system in Bale Park, crossed by Weib river. Or the longest cave system near Asebe Teferi, east of Ethiopia. In such a rugged environment, it is not surprising that many times can be better to move with horses or mules instead of vehicles. And this is a reason to practice and enjoy horse riding among nature, animals and people.
