Pickup details

If your pick-up location is Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, here are the easy-to-follow instructions to find your guide at the Addis Ababa Airport on arrival: Exit the terminal building, start walking straight towards the car parking lot. Keep an eye out to your LEFT side, you'll notice a large road constructed on a bridge with pillars. The road bends to the left. That's where you'll find your guide waiting right under the bend in the high road. Look out for a sign with your name!
