Ethiopia Travel Podcast with Dawit Bekele

Dawit Bekele

Ethiopia Travel Podcast follows one person settling in a place long enough to learn it, then moving somewhere connected to it. Travel in Ethiopia is distinctive because the terrain is a high plateau split by the Great Rift Valley, and the climate shifts with altitude. The population is dense in the northern and central highlands, especially around Addis Ababa.

The host's range includes Addis Ababa, where population density is highest, the Simien Mountains in the north, Lake Tana, source of the Blue Nile, and Gheralta in Tigray, known for churches cut into sandstone cliffs. These places differ in language, religion and climate, reflecting more than eighty ethnic groups.

The episodes track Ethiopia's seasons, from the short rains to the long rains, and return to the same towns and valleys as the year unfolds. A market, an Orthodox festival, a harvest or a dry-season journey becomes clearer on the second visit. By staying put, the podcast lets knowledge accumulate.

Dawit Bekele lives in Ethiopia and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Dawit is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.

A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
