“Forget the museums and churches, this fantastic tour gave a great insight into the vibrant streetlife and food and drink culture of Addis. The guide ZEREFE and driver TAMIRSAT were both first class. They really took care of me and ensured my safety at all times, even in the most chaotic and crowded parts of Merkato. The markets were fascinating indeed.

“I had a wonderful day with Aelaf (Ale) in Addis Ababa. He had already messaged me the night prior to the tour for coordination. He came early to pick me up and waited until I was ready.

The tour of the Hadero Coffee building was fantastic, with information from cultivation, processing, quality control, and of course the cupping and tasting session. We had a long drive up to Entoto Hill for the injera making…”
