Addis Ababa → Mount Entoto: key facts

Mount Entoto from Addis Ababa Airport (ADD) by private transfer: €50 per car (1–3 people) or €70 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 16 km, roughly 15 min when traffic is light and 15–25 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 1 for domestic flights), after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Mount Entoto is the ridge of hills on the northern edge of Addis Ababa, rising to more than 3,000 m above sea level. Emperor Menelik II had his first capital up here in the 1880s before the court moved down to the hot springs that became Addis Ababa. From the airport the road crosses the city northwards to Shiro Meda, a neighbourhood known for its market of woven clothes, and then climbs Entoto Road through eucalyptus forest with sharp bends and steep gradients.

At the top stands Entoto Maryam Church, where Menelik II was crowned, with a small museum and the modest buildings of his old palace next to it. Entoto Park, laid out along the ridge, has walking paths, viewpoints over the city and cafes, and the eucalyptus forest around it is popular with runners in the early morning. The air is thin and noticeably cooler than in the centre, and weather can change quickly in the rainy season from June to September, when clouds often cover the summit.

Public transport: The airport's published information lists no scheduled public bus or rail service to the terminals, and the Addis Ababa Light Rail has no station at the airport.
