Although tiring, unreliable and slow, busrides in Ethiopia are never dull, and a good way to get to know the country behind the sights.
Ethiopia is a vast country, and any visitor wanting to visit several parts of the country needs to decide how to go around. As is often the case, the decision depends on the factors time, money, and purpose of visit. It is possible to visit Ethiopia in an efficient way, flying to all major highlights; it is also possible to opt for convenience and rent a car-with-driver. But to really experience the country, to get into touch with the people, the bus is a great alternative. It allows to enjoy the countryside, taste the atmosphere on the bus, share the ups and downs that are inevitably going to occur during the ride. It often starts with the fact that many people don't seem to know when the bus leaves, or, even worse, when people give different times (disregarding the eternal Ethiopian vs. international time debate: Ethiopian time is 6 hours behind international time, but you often don't know for sure which time is being used).
