Addis Ababa: Entoto Forest, Villages, and Lunch Tour

Explore the Entoto Mountains on a private tour from Addis Ababa. Visit a hidden village, enjoy a farm-to-table lunch, and experience a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony.
Begin your experience with a VIP pickup from your hotel or the airport. Meet your private guide in the lobby with a personalized welcome sign. Then, begin the drive up the eucalyptus forest road to the Entoto ridge.

Enjoy a gentle guided walk through tall eucalyptus trees with birdlife, fresh mountain air, and the best panoramic viewpoints. Stop at secret photography spots along the way.

Next, enter a traditional highland farm village where you’ll experience an injera baking lesson on a traditional clay mitad, araki/tela tasting (optional), a weaving and handcraft demonstration, and local storytelling. These workshops are private, not shared with other groups.

Continue to St. Raguel Church and a cave church to hear about the history, architecture, ancient manuscripts, and spiritual traditions. Then, enjoy a freshly prepared village-style meal including tibs or vegetarian options, freshly made injera, organic vegetables, and local herbs and sauces.

After lunch, experience a signature coffee ceremony. Hand-roast beans, experience the aroma, and try freshly brewed Ethiopian coffee the traditional way. Then, stop at the Entoto Indigenous Market to shop for organic coffee, pure honey, traditional crafts, spices, and local herbs. Your guide helps you select quality items at local prices. Finally, enjoy a comfortable private transfer back to your hotel, airport, or anywhere in Addis.
