Why visit

A closer look at Entoto Park

High on Mount Entoto, this large natural park offers a different side of Addis Ababa. Forest paths, lookout points, cafes and recreation areas make it easy to shape the stop around your energy level. It is a strong choice for a slower morning, family outing or sunset view before returning to the city.

Airport distance and drive time are estimates and change with traffic. Weather is cooler at altitude, and activity availability can change.
