  • National Museum of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
    You will start your Addis Ababa tour with the National Museum of Ethiopia. This is one of the best museums in the quality and diversity of exhibits. Archeological exhibits include the 3.5 million-year-old fossil of Lucy (or Dinkinesh – ‘thou art wonderful’- in the native language), a hominoid woman of the specious of Australopithecus Afarensis. The discovery of Lucy’s fossil in 1974 forced a complete rethink of human genealogy, providing that our ancestors were walking 2.5 million years earlier than had been supposed. The National Museum also contains many wonderful artifacts dating back to pre-Axumite civilization.

  • Ethnological Museum, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
    We continue our city tour of Addis Ababa with visit to the Ethnographic Museum which is found inside the compound of the Addis Ababa University. This museum is very different to the National Museum, but equally absorbing, this museum exhibit, a varied array of artifacts and daily objects related to most ethnic groups living in Ethiopia.
    30 minutes
  • Holy Trinity Cathedral, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
    Afternoon Merkato - Holy trinity Cathedral - Entoto Hill After lunch, Addis Ababa tour continues with the visit to Shola market, an open-air market, where almost every possible commodity is on sale.
    40 minutes
  • Entoto Natural Park, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
    Finally, we will drive uphill to Entoto, which once was Emperor Minilik II’s permanent camp.  Driving the hill there is a considerable drop in altitude and the air is filled with the scent of the Eucalyptus trees which cover the area. From the top, there is a panoramic view of the capital and surrounding countryside. After spending some time around the hill, we will drive back to the hotel. End of tour!

This tour was exactly what I was looking for. Not only did my tour guide Teddy make sure to take me to all the main sites in Addis, but he made an engaging and illustrative job of providing context for what he was showing me. We started with the National Museum of Ethiopia, where I thought the highlight would be the famous Lucy fossil, but Teddy’s careful explanations of the art pieces and historical and cultural artifacts proved even more interesting. After this, we went to the Ethnological Museum on the Addis Ababa University campus, also interesting but with quite a lot of overlap. We had an authentic Ethiopian lunch followed by coffee at Taitu Hotel, Ethiopia’s oldest hotel. The break was leisurely and relaxing, and Teddy took the time to answer all of my questions about Ethiopian politics and the problems and concerns facing the country today. After this, Teddy asked me if I wanted to see a live lion! How could I refuse? We went to a zoo/park where there were several lions and a small collection of other animals. Then we finished the day with a trip to the Merkato, Addis’s giant chaotic market district. The whole day we traveled by taxi-bus, the preferred method of locals. There was also enough walking to give me a chance to really see the city. Between that and the lunch and the conversations, Teddy did an excellent job of providing a comprehensive experience of Addis. I recommend him to anyone visiting the city.

During my layover in Addis Ababa, I went on a private city tour with my guide, Emmanuel. The day was well-planned and he knew a lot about the history and culture of the city. Emmanuel spoke great English and was happy to adjust the tour to my liking. The tour may only be a few hours long, but you get to see a lot during that time and have the chance to learn many new things about Addis and Ethiopia. I would recommend selecting the private vehicle option over public transport. The only downside is the sneaky hidden costs - Emmanuel charged me an additional 50USD at the end of the trip. If I knew I had to pay this, I would have chosen a different tour.

We had a great one day tour in Addis Ababa with our guide Emmanuel. We had just 15 hours in Addis, but with Emmanuel and his driver we manage to see the highlights of the city. This included a walk at Merkato Marked wich was a memory for life. Addis is a friendly city we would like to visit again. We can highly recommend Afro Ethiopian Tour when visiting Addis.
