Ethiopia's eSIM

Ethiopia's rock-hewn churches at Lalibela, the ancient city of Aksum, and the Simien Mountains form the core of most visits — a genuinely different Africa itinerary from the safari-and-beach circuit found elsewhere on the continent.

Install the profile before you fly; it activates at Bole International in Addis Ababa. Useful for booking domestic flights, which handle most of the historic route given the distances and terrain.

We list 11 Ethiopia plans from $7.73. Longer bundles suit the multi-stop historic route most visitors follow.

Networks and coverage

Coverage is reasonable in Addis Ababa and along the main historic route towns — Lalibela, Aksum, Gondar.

The Simien Mountains trekking routes and remote Danakil Depression have very limited to no coverage, consistent with the remote terrain.

Frequently asked questions

Will it work trekking in the Simien Mountains?
Very limited. Expect to be largely offline on multi-day treks there.
Is Addis Ababa well covered?
Yes, the capital has reasonable coverage.
How do I travel the historic route?
Mostly by domestic flight between Lalibela, Aksum and Gondar, given the distances and terrain.
Will it work at the Danakil Depression?
No, this extremely remote volcanic region has essentially no coverage.
Do I need local registration?
No, the travel eSIM requires none.
