Ethiopia eSIM.
Lalibela's rock-hewn churches to Bahir Dar's Blue Nile Falls — connected throughout.
Every plan: QR by email in minutes · data-only, keep your number · days start on first connection · top up anytime · the total shown is the whole bill. What's included →
Unlimited plans run at full speed up to a daily fair-use allowance, then at reduced speed until the allowance resets the next day — you're never cut off. Every plan is prepaid: the checkout total is the whole bill, and we never add overage charges.
Hotspot support varies by plan and destination — where it's available for your plan in Ethiopia, it's shown in the plan details before you pay.
The Ethiopia eSIM guide.
Ethiopia rewards the connected traveller. From the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela to the coffee houses of Addis Ababa and the island monasteries of Lake Tana, a travel eSIM keeps you mapping mountain passes, booking domestic flights, translating Amharic menus and video-calling home — all without hunting for a local SIM the moment you land.
How it works on the day
Buy and install before you fly, then switch on when you land at Addis Ababa Bole International. Your eSIM connects automatically to Ethio Telecom or Safaricom Ethiopia — 4G in the capital and main towns, no queues, no physical SIM to swap.
Choosing your days
Most visitors come for the historic northern circuit — Lalibela, Gondar and Aksum — over one to two weeks. Choose a data pack that matches your itinerary; longer plans bring the daily cost down, and you can top up if you extend.
Discover Ethiopia.
The short version.
A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick unlimited, priced per day, or a fixed bundle of GB if it's mostly maps and messages. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in Ethiopia, and it finds a partner network on its own.
