Menz-Guassa, situated in the Amhara region approximately 260 km northeast of Addis Ababa, is a hidden gem among Ethiopia’s highlands. Renowned for its untouched beauty, this secluded natural wonder offers a peaceful escape. A scenic 90-minute drive (80 km) from Tarmaber transitions visitors from the vibrant energy of urban life to the serene rhythm of traditional Menz villages. The plateau boasts stunning vistas and is home to an array of endemic wildlife, including the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) and the gelada baboon (Theropithecus gelada).

The Guassa area is sustainably managed through a community-based resource system by the local inhabitants, a practice dating back to the 17th century. This indigenous conservation approach is one of the oldest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Visitors can immerse themselves in the area's beauty through trekking, mule rides, and overnight wilderness camping, offering an unforgettable experience in one of Ethiopia’s most pristine landscapes.
