Explore the magnificent Blue Nile Falls, locally known as Tis Issat or ‘Smoke of Fire,’ near the city of Bahir Dar in Ethiopia. One of the most impressive waterfalls in Africa, it plunges over 148 feet (45 meters) and runs through a basaltic gorge that creates a natural wonder worth witnessing. Take a boat trip across Lake Tana to reach the falls and enjoy the picturesque scenery and the rainbow formed by the spray of the water.
