Saving Money Through Group Travel

Getting Around Without Overspending

Transportation costs can add up quickly if you don’t plan carefully. Ethiopia has a mix of options that suit different budgets.

Domestic flights: Ethiopian Airlines dominates local air travel. If you booked your international flight with them, you’re eligible for discounted domestic fares. This is often the cheapest way to cover long distances, like Addis Ababa to Lalibela.

Buses and minibuses: For shorter trips, buses and minibuses are incredibly affordable. While not luxurious, they are the primary means of travel for locals, giving you an authentic experience.

Ride-hailing apps: In Addis Ababa, apps like Ride or Feres are safer and often cheaper than negotiating with street taxis.

Walking tours: Many Ethiopian towns are compact enough to explore on foot, saving transportation costs while allowing you to see more.
