How safe is Addis Ababa?
Addis Ababa is generally very safe, I wouldn’t recommend walking alone after dark as there might be pickpockets here and there. Habesha people are generally very welcoming and respectful, however you might see some incidents of cat calling or heckling ( depending on the location) .
