Addis Ababa: Entoto Highlands 2 day Camping Trip

Escape the city and spend the night camping in the Entoto Highlands above Addis Ababa. Enjoy a guided nature walk, birdwatching, and a simple breakfast as you watch the sun rise over the city.
Meet your guide in Addis Ababa and travel toward the highlands of Entoto. As the road climbs, the noise and density of the capital gradually disappear, replaced by cooler mountain air, eucalyptus forest, and open highland landscapes.

Before setting up camp, take a gentle guided nature walk. Look closely at the vegetation rather than simply walking through the forest. Your guide introduces you to highland trees, eucalyptus forest, juniper, wildflowers, highland grasses, native plants, succulents, and interesting mosses and lichens.

Next, enjoy a birdwatching experience. Try to identify birds by appearance, song, flight pattern, and habitat. Possible sightings can include species such as thick-billed raven, Abyssinian catbird, white-cheeked turaco, Abyssinian woodpecker, black-winged lovebird, and mountain buzzard.

Before sunset, arrive at the approved camping location and set up camp. Help prepare the campsite and settle into your tent. Then, stand at the viewpoint as daylight fades and watch the city below begin to light up. Enjoy a hot Ethiopian tea or coffee while watching the transformation.

Where fires are legally permitted and an approved fire area is available, gather around a controlled campfire. Enjoy Ethiopian storytelling, local mountain legends, music, traditional games, hot drinks, roasted snacks, and stargazing. After the fire, switch off the lights for a few minutes and let yourself experience the highland night sky.

Wake before sunrise and make hot Ethiopian coffee or tea beside the campsite. Take a short early-morning walk while bird activity increases. This is the best time to listen for bird calls and observe species becoming active. Your guide records the morning sightings on the group's Entoto Bird Card.

Return to the viewpoint just before sunrise and watch the sun illuminate Addis from above. Return to camp for breakfast. Serve a simple Ethiopian-inspired breakfast such as fresh bread, eggs, fresh fruit, honey, local cheese, and Ethiopian coffee or tea.
