Beschrijving
Explore Entoto Mountain, visit historic churches, and discover Menelik Palace on a guided tour from Addis Ababa. Enjoy a traditional Ethiopian lunch at Yaya Africa Athletics Village.
Start with a pickup from your Addis Ababa hotel. Climb into your tour vehicle with your driver and guide, then set off on the journey to the bottom of Entoto Mountain. Travel the rest of the way up the mountain through a combination of driving and walking.
Walk around the Entoto Hill, which presents a breathtaking view of Addis Ababa from above 3,000 meters above sea level. Next, visit the historic Entoto Maryam Church, which has the first church in/around Addis Ababa. Admire the typical ancient architecture of Ethiopian churches.
Continue to Menelik Palace, the palace of the mighty king who kept Ethiopia independent from colonial powers (Emperor Menelik II). The Emperor was so busy fighting back imperialists that his palace is a humble one.
Walk along typical countryside houses from St. Mary Church to Kiddus Raguel Church, a well-maintained monastery-like church built in a 19th-century structure seemingly located in the midst of a mature forest.
Finally, drive to Yaya Africa Athletics Village, a famous Ethiopian Runners Village where you can enjoy your lunch. The place is also known for its organic honey wine and Ethiopian coffee ceremony.
