About Adama

Adama is a lively town set between a pair of mountain ranges and surrounded by wildlife-rich lakes. The town is popular with Addis Ababa locals looking to escape the city, soak in mineral-rich hot springs and enjoy the fresh air and mountain scenery.

Things to do in Adama

Use Adama as a base to hike in the surrounding mountains. Several peaks tower over the city, including Kechema. Follow the rocky trail up the mountain and enjoy sweeping views over the surrounding countryside.

Roast beef stew, also known as “tibs”, is a local specialty in Adama. Enjoy the dish at a local restaurant or try snack-sized versions at street food stalls. If you’re feeling adventurous, try “kurt” raw beef served with a spicy dipping sauce. Kickstart your day with “fatira” crispy wheat flour pancakes drizzled with honey and a cup of locally grown Ethiopian coffee.

Spend the day in Sodere, a picturesque town set on the Awash River. The town is home to a hot springs resort with an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The mineral-rich water soothes muscles and leaves your skin soft and smooth. The river supports a lush, riparian ecosystem home to monkeys, crocodiles and warthogs. If you’re lucky, you might spot a hippo wading in the river.

Getting around Adama

Adama’s city centre is walkable and easy to navigate, while taxis are a fast and affordable way to cover longer distances. Shared taxis and auto rickshaws are cheaper options. You’ll also see horse-drawn carts called “garis”. Adama is in the Oromia Region, a 1.5-hour drive from Addis Ababa and Addis Ababa Bole International Airport.
