Buno Bedele is a zone of the Oromia Region in western Ethiopia, with its administrative centre at the town of Bedele. Set in the green, well-watered highlands of the country's south-west, it lies at the heart of one of Ethiopia's important coffee-growing regions - the wider Buno and Illubabor country, where Arabica coffee thrives - and the town of Bedele is also nationally known as the home of a major brewery. This is fertile, hilly farming country of coffee forests, rivers and traditional Oromo culture, well off the main tourist routes but part of the lush south-west that Ethiopians associate with coffee's homeland. For travellers it is chiefly a regional centre reached overland from Jimma or Nekemte. Ethiopia's highland climate is temperate; the drier months, broadly October to May, are the more comfortable time for travel, avoiding the main summer rains.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Buno Bedele?
Buno Bedele is a zone in the Oromia Region of western Ethiopia, with its centre at the town of Bedele. It lies in the green highlands of the south-west, coffee-growing country bordered by the Illubabor, Wollega and Jimma zones, in one of the fertile, well-watered regions that Ethiopians associate with the homeland of coffee.
What is the region known for?
Buno Bedele is known above all for coffee - it sits in a major Arabica-growing area of south-western Ethiopia - and the town of Bedele is nationally known for its large brewery. The wider landscape of coffee forests, rivers and hills, with traditional Oromo culture, defines this lush and productive part of the country.
How do I get to Bedele?
By road through south-western Ethiopia, typically from the larger cities of Jimma to the east or Nekemte to the north, along the highland routes. It is a regional centre rather than a fly-in destination, so travel is overland. Roads and journey times vary, so plan around the seasons and confirm conditions locally.
When is the best time to visit?
The drier months, broadly October to May, are more comfortable for travel in the Ethiopian highlands, avoiding the main rainy season around June to September when downpours can complicate road travel. The temperate highland climate is pleasant year-round, but the coffee-country landscape is at its greenest just after the rains.
