Cheap Flights to Ethiopia

It can sometimes feel as if you're stepping back into the past when you take a trip to Ethiopia, with its continued practice of ancient rituals and imposing, ancient fortifications still helping to define many places. Those who want to test their mettle in the wilderness will find Ethiopia the perfect spot for such a challenge.

Flights To Ethiopia

A flight to Ethiopia should be concluded well within 10 hours, with cheap flights to Addis Ababa taking under nine hours if you can find a direct route. Ethiopia flights may require that you catch a connection in Europe, which can push up travel times. Cheap flights to Ethiopia will usually be destined for Bole International Airport which is only 10 minutes outside of the capital city's central area.

Getting Around Ethiopia

The vast distances in Ethiopia can be conquered in a number of ways. Relatively comfortable and safe bus services run the long distances between settlements but they are slow. Vehicle rental after Ethiopia flights is possible, although you will need to hire a driver to go with your off-road vehicle and this can push up the price.

What To See In Ethiopia

Lalibela boasts a network of ancient churches carved into the rock itself that date back to the medieval period and they remain largely preserved in their original forms. Lake Tana is a sight in itself, but upon its islands are monasteries which are seemingly trapped in a state of suspended animation, evoking times past as strongly as they do. At Aksum there are yet more ancient delights, with improbable obelisks erected by a people long departed.
