2.1 Mount Fentalle: - Fentalle is stratovolcano located in Oromia region, Ethiopia.
It is the highest point of fentalle woreda.Elevetion 2,007m(6,585ft) and coordinate
8”58’N39”56’E/8.967”N 39.933”E Last Eruption-1820.
Fillip Briggs describes mount fentalle being crowned by a 350 meter deep crater. Briggs concludes that this
volcano “is responsible for the bleak hundred-year old lava flows that cross the road immediately west of
metehara, and its steam vents can sometimes be seen displaying from the surrounding plains at night
“Wikipedia.
2.2 Lake Beseka: - Lake Basaka ( Basaka Hayk in Amharic) is a shallow, saline lake
in the Oromia Region of central Ethiopia. It is located in the Great Rift Valley about

2.3 Jib-Gore:-Jib Gore/Hayna Cave Is a cave that found near Fentalle Mountains in
fentalle woreda Dhaka Hedu kebele. This is amazing place where tourists should see
and admire.

2.5 Historical Building: - This is a place which was constructed long time ago
before about one hundred years earlier. Peoples can visit and study this place and try
to understand the historic development of the area.
2.6 Local Tradition:-Local peoples of the Fentalle woreda Pastoral clan of Oromo
have different and unique culture and tradition from other parts of the region or
country. Their dressing style, Hair style, living style, House construction technique and
governing system called Geda System is very cultural and historical.
2.7 Awash National Park: - Located at the southern tip of the Afar Region, this
park is 225 kilometers east of Addis Ababa and only less than 26 km from our site. The
south boundary of the park is formed by the Awash River which swings north soon
after leaving the park and eventually disappears into the Afar (Danakil) region. The
Park covers an area of 827 square kilometers, most of it lies at an altitude of 900
meters. In the middle of the park is the dormant volcano of Fantale, reaching a height
of 2007 meters at its top.
It is one of Ethiopia's most popular and interesting national parks. One of the advantage of the Awash
National Park is that it is easily reached from Addis Ababa, located on the main Addis-Assab highway, which
bisects the park. The main road from the town of Melehara leads to the park headquarters and the campsites,
both of which are situated near the dramatic Awash Falls where the river enters its gigantic gorge.
The park is traversed by a series of well-maintained tracks, which take in the most spectacular of the many
scenic attractions. One of the main features is the Fantale volcano, on the southern flank of which can be seen
the dark scar of the latest lava flow of 1820. The mountain slopes hold evidence of sixteenth-century
habitation, seen as remains of walls and settlements of considerable proportion. The interior of the mountain-
11 | P a g e
top crater — with its wispy white breath of steam vents — is still used by the local people, the Kereyu, for
grazing livestock on a seasonal basis.
Another feature of the park is the hot springs in the extreme north. The water of these springs and rivers is in
the region of 36°C (97°F) and is used by the local people to water stock.
The plains to the south of the main road are excellent for animal viewing and are bordered to the south by the
Awash Gorge, Plunging 250 metres (820 feet) to the river. The western end of the Gorge is marked by the
Awash Falls, which can vary in intensity from a murky reasonable flow to a raging chocolate-coloured
torrent, depending on the rainfall and the activity of the hydro-electric scheme above it.
Awash's wildlife reflects its dry nature:. The Beisa oryx inhabits many of the more open areas, and greater
and lesser kudu the bushed areas. Soemmerring's gazelle have distinctive white rumps and are often seen with
the oryx. Small populations of the endemic sub-species Swaync’s hartebecst was translocated here and
occupy the grass plains. The liny Salt's dik-dik appears frequently under the dry acacia bushes and Defassa
waterbuck arc seen in the bushy river area. There are two species of baboon — the Anubis and the
hamadryas. Though each has very different social structures, they hybridize near the river. Other monkeys are
colobus in the riverine forest, and grivet in drier areas. Fan tale crater provides a different habitat, supporting
mountain reedbuck and klipspringer. Croco¬dile and hippopotamus splash in the Awash River and in the
cooler parts of the springs and rivers in the north. Lion, leopard, serval, caracal, and wildcat are all seen
infrequently.
The birds are numerous, more than 300 species on record. The campsites are an excellent place to sight birds.
There, above the quiet murmur of the river, one can hear the exuberant chatter of greenwood-hoopoes, the
rollicking duel of red-and-ycllowbarbets, or the soft lament of the emerald-spotted wood dove — to name
only a few. Carmine bee-eaters manoeuvre over the water, homing in on their airborne prey.
There are several bustard species in the park and secretary birds in the grass plains. The raptors are
represented by Fish eagles, tawny eagles, lanner and pygmy falcons, black-shouldered kites, and dark
chanting goflfmwky. Ree-eaters and kingfishers provide splashca of color, as do rollers. Ostriches roam the
plains and the- immense lammergeyer soars above Fantale searching for bones to smash.
Bordering the park, a twenty-eight-kilometre (17-mile) stretch Of the Awash River offers a superb one- or
two-day rafting trip — if the water level allows it — featuring lots of spirited rapids, wildlife, and impressive
rugged cliffs and side canyons. The trip starts at the Awash Falls and ends at the beach below the town of
Awash Station, with an optional overnight at a small hot springs sacred to the Kercyu people.(Encyclopedia)

3. PROJECT BENEFITS
3.1 Promoting Tourism
Lake beseka one of the Deseret gift lake of the country and can attracts a number of tourists every year. While
places such as Awash National Park and Eartale are already flowing with tourism activity, one of the finest
Desert lake of the nation still awaits its turn to be amongst the foremost tourist destinations.
With a vision to introduce Metehara as a popular tourist destination, the Fentalle resort aims to provide a
number of entertainment activities for tourists that are exciting, unique and at par with the best holiday
destinations in the world. From water skiing, beach sports, luxurious beach side tents, to gourmet restaurants
with global delicacies, the project will be a valuable addition to Metehara tourism. The project’s grand vision
of entertainment, coupled with metehara’s inherent historical significance makes it a unique mix for an ideal
tourist destination.
13 | P a g e
3.4 Local AND National Film Production Bonus
With fun, adventure and outstanding facilities, we will also bring the dazzle of Ethiopian film and video clip
production to Metehara and Fentalle Woreda. The resort boasts of its natural landscape and modern
convenience and will be an ideal shoot location for Ethiopian movies, shows and songs, Bringing star
quotient to an already entertainment packed resort will further help in boosting tourism and visitor traffic to
Metehara.
E ach design objective is significantly important in any project, yet a truly successful one is where
project goals are identified early on and held in proper balance during the design process; and where
their interrelationships and interdependencies with all building systems are understood, evaluated,
appropriately applied, and coordinated concurrently from the planning and programming phase. A high-
performance building cannot be achieved unless the integrated design approach is employed.
4.2 Design Objectives of Whole Landscape and Building Design
4.2.1 Energy efficiency
Proposed buildings would include measures to reduce energy consumption, buildings built primarily with
natural material will have a lower embodied energy than those built primarily with brick, concrete, or steel.
4.2.2 Materials efficiency
Building materials typically considered to be 'green' include natural material, rapidly renewable plant
materials like Grass, Wood, bamboo and straw, dimension stone, recycled stone, recycled metal and other
products that are non-toxic, reusable, renewable, and/or recyclable.
4.2.3 Operations and maintenance optimization
No matter how sustainable a building may have been in its design and construction, it can only remain so if it
is operated responsibly and maintained properly. Ensuring operations and maintenance (O&M) personnel are
part of the project's planning and development process will help retain the green criteria designed at the onset
of the project.
4.2.2 Waste reduction
14 | P a g e
Eco friendly construction also seeks to reduce waste of energy, water and materials used during construction.
Well-designed buildings also help reduce the amount of waste generated by the occupants as well, by
providing on-site solutions such as compost bins to reduce matter going to landfills.
5. METHODOLOGY & ACTIVITY STRUCTURE
5.1 Stage 1: Project Initiation
5.1.1 Team Mobilization
