Review of the Debre Libanos and Portuguese Bridge day trip from Addis Ababa, with monastery visits, gorge views, wildlife, price, and practical tips.

“Despite the the fact that the way we left the city and met other members of our trip was a little bit sophisticated, I really enjoyed the tour. The panoramas, view points, dinner, baboons (!!!!!)... It was really exciting! We also had a traditional coffee stop) The best way to spend a day in Addis Ababa if you're waiting for your flight. Highly recommended!”
