When you land in Addis Ababa, it can feel like a lot to take in all at once. We built this tour to show you the version of the city we love the best coffee, the most vibrant markets, and the quietest views. The plan for the day: We’ll start with a bit of a "time travel" session at the National Museum to meet Lucy fossils dating back 3.2 million years, then head straight up to the Entoto Hills. It’s the best way to see the whole city laid out under the eucalyptus trees. We’ll also take a walk through Mercato. It’s a bit of a maze, but that’s the fun of it, you will see the city’s real energy. Along the way, we’ll hit the landmarks like St. George’s Cathedral and the old palace to give you the backstories that make this place so unique. A few things to make your life easier: The Logistics: We’ll grab you from your hotel or the airport and drop you back off when we're finished. The Coffee: You aren't leaving without a proper coffee ceremony. It’s the law of the land here.

Depart Addis Ababa at 07:30 AM. At slightly over 100 km from Addis Ababa, Debre Libanos is one of the best day trips from the Ethiopian capital. The church is monumental and pretty awful on the outside, but the stained-glass windows are attractive. Debre Libanos has one of the most interesting church museums in Ethiopia. Besides the usual ecclesiastical items, there are Italian guns, giant cooking pots, crowns of past emperors and their wives, musical instruments, and old wooden shackles. Fifteen minutes up the hills from the monastery is the cave of Tekla Haimanot, the monastery founder, where the saint is said to have done all his praying. It is also the source of Debre Libanos' famed holy water. Finally, we will take you to the Portuguese Bridge located at the Blue Nile Gorge, where you can admire the stunning landscapes and observe the unique Ethiopian endemic baboons known as Chelada Baboons. You'll also have the opportunity to spot various Ethiopian birds.
