Join us on our journey to discover the beauty of Oromia, Ethiopia's Abundance. Visit Oromia where the sheer diversity of the culture, people and landscape is sure to leave you astounded. Oromia's lush green rain forests in the west, its plains in the central highlands, the great rift valley and the massive mountain ranges to the east and south, are home to forests of wild coffee, crater lakes on t

op of mountains, ancient afro-alpine jungles, and freshwater, alkaline, and salty lakes teeming with more than 800 species of birds. Oromia is also home to mighty rivers like the Awash, Baro, and Wabi-Shebelle, and 4000m+ high plains you can drive to and camp at and where you can see endemic species like the Red Fox, the magnificent Black Maned Lion, and the Mountain Nyala. Oromia's southern plains and its northern rift valley are home to the Borana and Karrayyu people whose practice of the indigenous democratic system Gadaa predates any state in the land and is still intact today. But the story of Oromia goes even deeper, and we invite you to delight in the discovery of what this ancient land and people have in store.

Not every road is meant to rush you.
Some roads, like this one in Ilubabor, are meant to make you pause and admire nature.

The curves. The forest. The silence of nature from above.

Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali inaugurated the Borana Cultural Center today.

Today, the Borana Cultural Center was inaugurated in Yabelo in the presence of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and President Shimelis Abdisa alongside other dignitaries. Built on 57.6 hectares of land, the center stands as a major cultural landmark dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage, philosophy, and values of the Borana people and the Gadaa System.

Featuring a 2,000-seat conference hall, a heritage museum, and cultural spaces designed to reflect Oromo identity, the center is expected to become an important destination for cultural learning, tourism, and intergenerational knowledge transfer.

A new home for the stories, values, and enduring spirit of the Gadaa System.
