Photogallery of pictures taken during journeys and expeditions to Lake Langano (Ethiopia).
Langano is a lake in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia, exactly 200 kilometers by road south of the capital, Addis Ababa. It is located to the east of Lake Abiyatta in the Main Ethiopian Rift at an elevation of 1,585 meters.
Lake Langano is 18 kilometers long and 16 km wide, with a surface area of 230 square kilometers and a maximum depth of 46 meters. The lake has a catchment 1600 square kilometers in size, and is drained by the Hora Kallo river which empties into the adjacent Lake Abiyatta. The lake is brown in color.
As the lake is free of schistosomiasis, unlike all other freshwater lakes in Ethiopia, it is safe for swimming.
