Discover Ethiopia from a whole new perspective—on two wheels. An Ethiopian bike tour offers an unforgettable journey through breathtaking landscapes, ancient history, and vibrant cultures, making it one of Africa’s most rewarding cycling destinations.
Ride through the scenic highlands, lush countryside, and dramatic escarpments while passing traditional villages where time-honored ways of life continue. From the historic routes around Addis Ababa and the Entoto Hills to the stunning views of the Rift Valley and the tranquil roads near Bishoftu’s crater lakes, every trail tells a story.
Ethiopia’s bike tours are designed for both adventure seekers and cultural explorers. Along the way, cyclists can stop to enjoy authentic Ethiopian cuisine, witness traditional coffee ceremonies, visit UNESCO World Heritage sites, and interact with warm, welcoming local communities.
