Hello everyone,
Ill be spending 23 hours in Addis and is looking to get as much as possible out of it. I'm interested in nature and landscape (and photographing) and was therefore wondering if anyone has any recommendations for "musts" that are reachable from Addis in a few hours?

I'm really greatful for any help I can get.
Best regards
Viktor

Hi all,
Following reports that it is difficult to get an Ethiopian visa in Nairobi if you are not a Kenyan resident, we wanted to share our recent experience (last week). It is not that difficult, just a bit cumbersome. We thought it would be a lot worse in light of the recent protests in the country.
