Entoto Park - Main Entrance — Attraction in Addis Ababa

The Entoto Natural Park. I've read some comments and reviews about the species of trees not being native to the place and it not being natural and what not, but I'm really jealous of such a place existing.

My only down side is that I had to pay a 1000 birr fee as a foreign national without a diplomatic passport and that covers only entrance. It rained heavily on the day I visited so that took away some part of the fun.

There are many activities available on site. From horseback riding, ziplining, paintballing and many other activities.

Signature to every Ethiopian space is the availability of food vendors and cafes on site. There are numerous food vendors, cafes and snack stands at Entoto and you get to tryout anything you want, from Ethiopian coffee to any Ethiopian dish.

A stroll through the park is very healing and calm and I urge everyone to try this out when you visit Ethiopia or if you're there. The silence and calmness of the park is really intriguing and sends you into a peaceful state. If you have a bike, it is highly recommended as it will enhance your experience.

I loved my visit here and I encourage everyone to visit the park.

P.S. send lots of cash if you want to try out everything you...

What a great place to visit!! It's very difficult to rate this huge place because I only spent about 3 hours in the park. However I want to express my thought to the management to consider little public transport inside the park. It's very difficult to move around in thus huge park for people have little kids, old people, and disabilities. The other thing I want add is that the park has lack of information for people. For example we wasted some hours to find out the main entrance. We also have no quite information regarding the contents of each gates. We just blindly walked around in the park with no information. I think the park can create some "information desk"for public information and better charge the entrance fee and can cover the cost of the employees. Also having a a brochures, maps & such information information are very helpful for a visitors. Overall great place to visit and I will come back to spend more hours in the other gates. Thank you for reserving the environment and thank you for building...

If you enter to this place from the main entrance and decide to walk to where they have zip lines and the other activities, be ready to walk a lot!! The walk was a lot ( about 4 miles) and painful (for me because I’m not in a perfect shape) but the scenery makes it all worth it. It was also hard on me specifically because I had to carry a toddler through out the park. We had fun though. My daughter enjoyed it a lot. Next time, I’ll bring a stroller! Customer service is 100 % perfect! It is very safe inside. If you don’t want the glory and bragging right that comes with the walk, enter through the addisu gebeya enterance. You will miss out on the Ethiopia sign and the three structures at the main entrance. They don’t have good signage and no emergency call stations, those would have been great.

All and all, this was an amazing experience! Go visit. I’ll come...
