This tour was really interesting, thanks to my guide. He made me feel like a citizen of Addis for several hours, walking some kilometers. Plus his knowledge about history & habits of the country & the city was quite more interesting than the hike itself.
It was a pleasure and I would recommend to everyone who wants to discover the city out of a climatised car.

I'm grateful to have Gashaw as the guide, who is approachable and knowledgeable about the history, politics, and social profile of Addis Ababa. I was welcomed to the walk as a friend, and experienced different local transport methods (walk, mini-van, and ride share) to travel around.
Gashaw was flexible with the itinerary and adjusted the plan as I proposed. We each had a detour during the trip, but it's such a learning to walk around various parts of the town.
