Looks like you had a great time. There’s a lot of history there, even through the poverty. Hopefully through your travels you’ll be able to promote some tourism and investment so that they can grow that great country.

[@addisababanazareth1525]

Can u tell us why u have been there? I feel like u r telling us only about the problems u have like 90%. Tell us what have u liked ( food, people, music, animals . Ancient building, museum and others things that catch ur eyes beside those things u have told us). Why u went there?

I spent 3 months in Ethiopia I loved it very safe I visited Nazareth, shashamane and Addis Ababa. The majority of my stay was spent in Addis Ababa and it is very safe. I honestly feel safer there than in some parts of America.

[@larissa_8237]

I continued to be amazed by the amazing quality of your videos and also your adaptability to any situation. You continue to pursue what you love (traveling), despite any hurdles that come up, like lack of WiFi where you thought you would have it, etc. A lot of people would get discouraged and throw a fit, but your ability to say you just have to accept it, you cant change it, is why you are so good at what you do. That positive, perservering mindset is, in my opinion, what makes you one of, if not, the best travel vlogger out there!

[@bellasphotobank946]

Hey, Great video :) As a British resident of Bole, Addis Ababa myself I would have to say you are predominantly correct about everything you mentioned. The only thing I would add is walking the streets at night isn't as bad as it was made out to be. Carrying phones around as well is also something I would strongly recommend not to do as it causes a lot of attraction from the locals as I'm sure you've noticed. Are you still in Addis? If so I would highly recommend checking out the Entoto Mountains (they're pretty local to Addis) and the Wenchi Crater which is about three hours out but its a really interesting and exotic experience. Not many people know about it but I did it as a day trip and it was really extraordinary.

[@yourchannel3046]

Hey Bella it sounds like we did swap our countries?

[@andymelaku4218]

Wenchi crater really isn't well known having lived in Addis Ababa my entire life i've never even heard of it.

[@bellasphotobank946]

@@andymelaku4218 Wenchi Crater is very little known but it really shouldn't be. It's located about 155 km outside of Addis and I did it in a day trip however I would recommend staying somewhere overnight if you were to do it. It's a really pretty crater lake which sits in an extinct volcano. You can half-hike half-horse ride round the crater and visit the ancient monsteries on one of the islands. It's a really good day out and I would 100% recommend.

Just watched all your Ethiopian videos - great fun to see the sights and sounds again of this country where I lived for 2 years back in the late 1960s. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like much has changed since then, at least for the common people. Everything looks so familiar, so much the same as I remember it. But I loved it - the people are great and the food and coffee is so good. Thanks for the walks down memory lane!

It's been great seeing more of Ethiopia from your perspective Nick. Earlier in the year i saw a travel docu series by an English guy called Ramesh Ranganathan and he went to Ethiopia and it really opened my eyes to the place. In the West we tend to still have those news images of the famine from like 30 years ago dominating how we see the country, but we couldnt be further from the truth. It looks like an amazing place.

If you are a foreigner traveling to Ethiopia one thing you gotta start doing is haggling for lower prices. Seriously, I don't why they do it but you can't accept the first couple of prices. You have to say no and threaten to just leave. If you can get an experienced local guide to reserve the accomodations that you want.

Hi Nick, superb as always mate. I’m heading to Ethiopia beginning of November and very excited. I am conscious of the cost of accommodation though. I appreciate you said there could be cheaper (Airbnb) further out of town but what is the lower end price like? I don’t have a need for internet as you do. I have a tent... is it practical to camp in more rural parts of Ethiopia? I imagine any camper should expect to make a lot of new curious friends with every camp. Any advice for a hitchhiking budget traveller would be greatly appreciated!

[@ismaelexportethiopia1031]

The average local motel price is between 200 ETB to 500 ETB .. & the room you see on the vlog I wouldn't pay more than 300 ETB..! Don't book online.. & if you want to camp.. Check out ( menagesha suba ) ..

[@addisababanazareth1525]

Try to stay in Harambe Hotel, Ethiopia hotel or shebele hotel even if they are not lexury hotels but if you want the best hotel go to Sheraton hotel or Hilton hotel or there so many more. Do not expect like 300 birr or something! It might be over 700 Ethiopian birr. $35-$40 per a day for not lexury hotels. Food is not expensive that much. For $6.00 you can have a very nice lunch. In Addis go to see the national museum, go to entoto. In Debrezeyt( Beshoftu) , you can enjoy the small town.It located 45 minutes from capital. Go to Awassa , U can see nature . Go to Bahir dar, see the lake Tana. Go to Gonder and see the ancient Palace. Go to Lalibala and see the Lalibala things. Go to Axum and see the Axum thing. If you want to see wild animals see the website.
