Using your eSIM in Ethiopia

After landing at Bole, you'll want your hotel transfer within reach, and a saved map helps for one day up at Entoto. An Ethiopia eSIM is a virtual SIM card that installs digitally on a compatible phone and gives your travel apps data where Safaricom's network reaches.

Ready to hand.Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Arriving at Bole: make the hotel pickup easier.
Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD) is Ethiopian Airlines' main hub, about 6 km from the central Bole Road area. For a city stay, save the hotel name and entrance before you leave. Send your flight number to whoever is collecting you and confirm the meeting point after you land.
Tourist information, telecom services and free Wi-Fi sit in the arrivals hall, but a data connection still helps once you step outside. It lets you retrieve a booking or message a host, though it doesn't replace the airline's transfer guidance. If you have a connecting flight, check that booking's terminal and boarding details before leaving.

Save before you goYour hotel entrance, flight details, transfer confirmation and onward boarding information.
At Entoto: save your meeting point and return route.
Entoto Park sits in the eucalyptus-covered hills above Addis Ababa, with walking areas, restaurants and other visitor facilities. Decide which entrance or activity you're aiming for before setting off; a broad mountain pin is less useful than an agreed meeting point.
Check the park's current visitor information and arrange the return pickup with your driver. Save that conversation and a map before walking. Trees, hills and distance from a mast can weaken reception, even where a plan lists 4G or 5G, so service quality will vary.
When service returns, send a short message or location pin to your group. Leave the full photo and video backup for Wi-Fi, and keep enough battery for the ride back.
