Simbo Beach Resort

Southern Ethiopia


Don't be put off by the bland exterior of the bungalows. Inside they have been spruced up and feature good beds, tiled floors and neat bathrooms. What sets this family-oriented venture apart is its appealing sandy beach, with safe swimming. The on-site restaurant gets good reviews.
