Review of Addis Ababa’s private layover tour, with Entoto Mountain, Lucy, markets, coffee, transfers, costs, timing, and practical booking advice.

“Ben was simply wonderful. He was very friendly and easy going. It felt like we had known each other for a while. I stopped over in Addis for one night, on my way from Dubai; it was definitely the best way to spend the day as the hours passed so quickly. I will definitely recommend Shebaland tours to my family and friends.”
