Local guide

Getting around Addis Ababa with a driver.

Addis Ababa sits at around 2,355 metres, and most of our work in the capital runs along a handful of corridors: Bole Road between the airport and the city centre, the ring road, and the routes into Kazanchis, the African Union headquarters and UNECA. Traffic is the biggest variable. A trip that takes 15 minutes at night can take over an hour in the 06:30–09:30 and 17:00–20:00 peaks, so drivers plan pickups around those windows.

Typical city bookings include airport runs to Bole International, hotel transfers to properties such as the Sheraton, Hilton, Hyatt Regency and Skylight, embassy and UN movements, and full-day hire for meetings across town. Vehicles are dispatched from our base in the Welelay Building, near Adey Abeba International Stadium in Bole.
