The Shocking Cost of Visiting Ethiopia 🇪🇹

[@FetiVlogs1118]

Good job berta, New subscriber here

[@binitravels]

Thanks a million, and welcome to the BiniTravels Adventures family.

[@binitravels]

It means a lot to me, thank you!

[@nokomokwele6205]

I went there on a work assignment two weeks ago. Although my company paid for hotel and flights, I don't think it was expensive in terms of food and checking the city of Addis. From your visuals, you mostly frequented the Bole area which is an upmarket area. You could have tried Mesqel square and other tourist attractions which costed me on average 5 to 6usd. There's a leather goods market next to the stadium where I bought stuff which was 60% cheaper than in my native South Africa. Next time just try to show more of the other side of the addis.

Thank you, I appreciate the support, fam.

[@isaakalem3902]

Nice video. Are you usa or Europen citizen? If it is so I want to ask you about visa on arrival at Ethiopia airport

[@binitravels]

It's possible to get on arrival Only if you take Ethiopian Airlines. Any other airline you have to get electronically online or from the Ethiopian consulate. Make sure to verify the website if ever you go with an electronic visa online as there may be some fraudulent ones.

[@ms5665-w9q]

Is it new rules with Ethiopian Airlines? I thought it's for everyone?,

[@binitravels]

@@ms5665-w9q The last time I travelled to Ethiopia was on October 22. I got the visa on arrival, and I took Ethiopian Airlines. My uncle, who flew in from Australia via Dubai with another airline, had to get electronic. Maybe things hanged now. I will let you know, but last time I checked was October.

You traveled over 10,000 miles, and you're complaining about the price of everything. Africa is an expensive place to visit that can not be found cheaply Stop complaining. I guess you need a free lunch and a free airline ticket.

[@binitravels]

Thank you for your feedback. Free lunch is always nice. I’m not complaining, though. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Good job bro

[@binitravels]

Thank you Mohamed.

[@karser6456]

It makes no sense that cost of living expenses are jacked up so high there..for example most of the products in so called "upmarket" groceries come from middle eastern countries and are the cheapest brands you can buy there but the markup when it gets to ET is staggering. It appears the entire economy is targeted towards "dollar tourists" but i dont see tourists breaking the doors down to enter Ethiopia..its more like a trickle. I have 2 questions for you. 1) You didnt tell us how much the shiro cost? 2) What is the name of that bar/restaurant where you had the raw meat? Cheers.

[@binitravels]

Great points. I'm not sure how much that Shiro cost, but I remember it was in dollars. Therefore, I was shocked to pay that much. And don't get me wrong, it may not be the most expensive, but it's definitely the most expensive Shiro I have paid for on that trip. Secondly, the name of the restaurant was Zegeye. Do you have a business in Ethiopia and where are you right now?

[@karser6456]

@@binitravels Thanks. Im in Cali. Been back to ET 3 years ago..would love to return but the cost of living and the weak bang you get for your buck are turning me off. Take next door Kenya for example, most things there will cost you HALF of what it does in AA and the entertainment value you get in Nairobi cannot compare to Addis. What i really want to know is...with the weak purchasing power of the standard-issued Ethiopian, **WHO** is going to by their USD$12,000 No-Name Alligator handbag made locally that we saw at one of the shops in Bole, or the poorly constructed no-name local leather jacket for $USD 680.00??? Or the Skippy Peanut butter at Gara Supermarket for USD$ 46.00. Someone needs to school these newly hatched buisnesses that you can buy a high end European designer alligator handbag or a high end designer leather jacket for less in the western world!! When i got back to Cali, it took me longer to recover from sticker shock than it did the jet lag lol!!

[@binitravels]

Oh, I totally understand! When you compare it to the countries nearby, it does seem like it might be a tad pricier. But 12 K for a handbag? Haha!

[@arunsharma-eb4ps]

You mention the price of airtickets without mentioning the port of departure.

June and July usually cheaper

[@abuhaile6517]

June and July are the most expensive because most people travel with scool children.

[@nieuwegeljo5645]

A rather poor video. In 2 minutes time you mention 4-5 times how expensive Ethiopia is. Is one time, not enough?

[@binitravels]

Well, I understand that hearing the truth about the cost of visiting Ethiopia multiple times can be a bit repetitive, but I'm just trying to make sure everyone is fully prepared for the financial commitment that comes with falling in love with this amazing country. And let's be honest, it's not exactly cheap - unless you're secretly a Birr billionaire, in which case please share your budgeting tips with the rest of us! But all joking aside, the beauty and culture of Ethiopia make it worth every penny, so I'll try to mention the cost fewer times in my future videos - but I can't make any promises if I find a new favorite shiro spot. Thank you for your feedback!

[@WhyMeTd1227]

@@binitravels The quality of the video at the beginning of the first segment is good, after a few minutes it disappears, the title of the video you use the word “shocking” i didn’t like it it’s a turn off, the daily news we hear about Ethiopia is shocking almost every single day, on top that, the last thing people would expect to hear isn’t a shocking news from a travel blogger like you. (I say this as Ethiopian) when narrated the video it seems like you use teleprompter, I can tell you’re reading from a note or sort of notes that took the flawless of the video, also you’re somehow starting at the video, let the video follow you instead, be natural, avoid tense, overall i would give it a 6, and wishing you a good luck 🙏🏽

[@binitravels]

@@WhyMeTd1227 Thank you for your honesty and your feedback. You are 💯 I was reading a script, and about the quality of the video, I did use my iPhone 11 Pro. I take all advice and grow from there. I hope you are going to subscribe and witness me grow. Since then, I did upgrade my camera to a GoPro 11 black and bought a better computer and software, and I just got back from a recent trip from “Guadalupe,” a French 🇫🇷 peninsula, to capture and share my travel experience, which I will post in the next two weeks. I invite you to take your time and see if I improved in any way, shape or form. I believe that Slight improvement every day will compound. Again thanks for your time and honest feedback. Out of my 25 videos posted over the last year, the one with the world shocking said repeatedly is the one that's getting some traction. It's no accident; I think it's remarkable growth from the marketing angle-supply and demand, my brother. I don't want to take the blame for that. As you said, you are tired of the news, yet again your youtube algorithm keeps putting these feeds back to you as you like to consume them. Believe it or not, that's how you landed on this video. I believe that's also why you gave me a 6. Thank you for your time. I urge you to consider subscribing to my small but growing community, my habesha comrade. 🫵🏾😉✌️🏾

Hoe long can u stay any visa

[@binitravels]

Single entry tourist visa 30 days is $82USD and $202USD for 90days. I found this info on www.evisa.gov.et/information/tourist Please be careful when applying online as there maybe fraudulent websites which have similar look and feel with their official website.

Thanks for your feedback @SprtsUpdate! Which part was repetitive talk, and which part was crapy. I also noticed that you had had your channel since 2016 and still have no views with only 1 two minutes video. If we are critical of each other’s Chanel, we must grow more. Let me know, as I take all criticisms seriously. Thanks for taking your time and commenting.

[@SportsupdateCool]

@@binitravels I dont think this is about my channel bro. You repeated yourself in the video in the introduction quite often. This may be your first video but at this time even a 12 year old can do better. Your video introduces saying that it will describe the cost of visiting Addis but no pricing except a certain guess super wide price range. You showed food but never told about the prices. You are just a spoiled f*t Joe that needs to redo this again especially with the voice over.
