Ajora Falls

The Ajora Falls consist of two cascades formed by the Ajancho and Skoke rivers, dropping 210 meters and 170 meters respectively from steep cliffs.

The waterfalls remain an integral part of the Wolayita Zone, where more than 50 kings across four dynasties shaped the regional heritage over centuries.

Local inhabitants of Wolayita Zone gather near the falls for traditional ceremonies, connecting their customs with the natural landscape of the region.

Visitors can reach the falls by traveling 390 kilometers from Addis Ababa, followed by a 25-kilometer drive on a dirt road from the town of Areka.

The twin waterfalls merge at a point called Buqula before flowing into the Omo Valley, spanning an area of 280 hectares with dense forest.
