What to do and see in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: The Best Outdoor Activities

October 4, 2021 Roger Rusk

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.

Ethio Cycling Adventures

Ethiopia is an exceptional country for bicycle tours. The climate is pleasant; the landscape varies from green rolling hills to dramatic mountains with impressive views…. But one of the greatest charms of Ethiopia are its friendly people and many small settlements of some scattered huts with playing children and cattle around them. What better way to experience all of this on 2 wheels!
