Itinerary
You will start your city tour of Addis Ababa with the National Museum of Ethiopia. This is one of the best museums in quality and diversity of the 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.
We continue our 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.
we will drive uphill to Entoto, which once was Emperor Minilik II’s permanent camp. Driving the hill there is an 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.
Coming back from the Mountain will welcome you with a busy Local Market for hand made Traditional Clothes, Stooping at the market is optional.
After lunch, city tour of Addis Ababa continues with the visit to Merkato, the largest open-air market in Africa, where almost every possible commodity is on sale.

Had a fantastic time with our guide Teshome and our driver Nebiyu. Teshome is a wealth of knowledge and we really felt like we got a good sense of the culture and history of the city in one day. We look forward to returning again in the future to explore more of Ethiopia.
Wonderful day spent around Addis Ababa with Teshome (our guide) and Nebiyu (driver). Teshome is knowledgable and was able to answer our million questions about Ethiopia’s history, culture etc. Polite and friendly both Teshome and Nebiyu made the day worth every minute.
Teshome was an amazing guide! Very kind, knowledgeable and attentive. The driver was amazing as well! As a solo female traveler from Canada I felt very safe with them and learned so much! Would recommend to anyone coming to Addis Ababa!

We value the human connection and people like our guide Teshome and our driver Tesfu made us feel like part of their family. It’s because of people like them that we will always remember Ethiopia fondly. I’m handicap and Teshome me understood my difficulties and made accommodations so I wouldn’t have to walk so much. He’s also very knowledgeable and speaks great English. I ask a lot of questions that he responded kindly and patiently. Thank you? brother! Best wishes.
My guide (Teshome) was very knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was a great tour guide. We checked out local markets, museums, and local spots. Overall was a fun and exciting tour.
Very good tour to see the main sites in the town. Teshome showed us around many key places along with background and history.
Teshome was a great guide and this tour was exceptional. He was able to take us to the different sites on our tour, which included the National Museum of Ethiopia, Merkato Market, and other sights. He was very knowledgeable and informative about the history of the country and was able to help us understand how the city and country have come to be. I highly recommend Teshome. Don’t miss this tour.
My tour was amazing I really enjoyed the entire city tour. I didn't feel rushed. The day was planned accordingly as scheduled. I would definitely book this tour again.
Teshome was a great guide and took us all around the city. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions appropriately.
