Ethiopia eSIM

From £4.63 · prepaid travel data

Mobile data in Ethiopia

Ethiopia's Safaricom network runs 5G in Addis Ababa and 4G in Bahir Dar, Gondar, Lalibela and along the main roads. The Simien Mountains, the Danakil and the Omo valley have little coverage.

  • Lalibela's churches and Gondar's castles have signal in town; the Simien treks do not.
  • Ride and Feres work in Addis on data.
  • Danakil and Omo expeditions are off-grid — plan messages before you go.
  • Check current travel advice; it varies by region.
