Adama Town (anywhere—Bajaj covers all local streets) → Adama German House (door-to-door)
💡 Don’t pay more than 20 birr for a short hop within town. Confirm the price before hopping in—drivers often overcharge tourists. For the German House, ask them to drop you near the gate on the main road
Bole International Airport (ADD), Addis Ababa → Adama German House, Nazret (Adama)
💡 Book through the hotel directly for the best rate—they’ll send a driver to the arrivals hall with a name board. Negotiate price before leaving, and expect pot-holed roads.
Meskel Square or Bole Bus Station, Addis Ababa → Adama Stadium (walk or tuk-tuk 10 mins to German House)
💡 Look for the minibuses marked ‘Adama’ or with blue licence plates. Sit on the right side for views of the Rift Valley escarpment. It’s cramped but reliable. Don’t accept the first price quoted—some drivers inflate for foreigners, so stick to the station rate.
Addis Ababa Sebeta Station → Adama Station (2 km east of German House—plan tuk-tuk or foot)
