Things to do in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: The Best Nature & Parks

March 28, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

Sometimes referred to as the capital of Africa, Addis Ababa is a buzzing hub of economic, social and political activity and home to such notable offices as the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. The diversity of its people is reflected in the many churches, mosques and museums, including the Ethiopian National Museum which houses the fossilized skeleton of Dinkinesh, or Lucy, the Australopithecine discovered in the area in the 1970s.

Menagesha Suba Forest Park

Reviewed By jaumenico

We had a very great time with Mulat. We started in Merkato, a very busy place but also very interesting. We could see all the market in a rooftop. After, we went to Entoto mountain to see the beautifull landscape of the city, and we visited the museum and the palace. Thank you very much Mulat.

Worth the long drive (around 6 hrs plus) from Addis to visit. Great scenery and wildlife to view. A pleasant change from the city life. Avoid during the rainy season

Gullele Botanical Garden

Reviewed By Samiha558

What an amazing experience!! We started around 8:30 am and choosed more difficult way to get on the top of Gulllele. The weather was good, but really recommend warm clothes like long trousers, sport shoes, jumper and some light jacket, as well when you will climb on the top there is a little bit colder. We had an amazing guide Yonas , he was very nice, very helpful to make good safe steps on the way up, or in the case path was little bit challenging. He was funny and took care about our breakfast on the top too, showed us interesting things on the top and helped us to make some really cool photos. I really recommend this trekking. The views of addis ababa is real on this hills from the top are breathtaking, you will have a fun and will be safe with this great and experienced guide Yonas. If you like an adventure, beautiful nature and fun, this trakking is a must for you Gullele Park is a kind of a forest reserve at the outskirts of Addis Ababa. we used the entrance at the Ring Road close to the roundabout Tunisia Street and Ring Road. There is a nice road leading to a small restaurant where you can park the car and use this as a starting point. When you turn left on the nice paved road you will finally end up on the highest point of the road leading over Entoto (Addis - Suluta). The few on Addis is spectacular, especially on clear days (early morning). At the restaurant you can order food and drink. It is clearly work in progress and only a few trees had signs on them explaining the name we strongely Recomandea tour guide can Assisi you all the services and make it much easier Contact Yonas whats-app number+mobile +251913384298) hope you will a great day

Entoto Natural Park

Entoto Natural Park is the unique place to discover the vastest primaeval mountain area with streams flowing out from clear springs and waterfall where it amazes with absolutely stunningly dramatic places for relaxation or completely hilarious water activities in diverse meandering streams which continues to naturally create hidden rock vaults.
