Find tips and advice on Ethiopia from Irish Expats

Of course, expat living in Ethiopia is not just about shipping your belongings and filing in some bureaucratic papers. Regular socializing with fellow Irish is an essential part of expat life and becoming accustomed to the Ethiopian way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Irish in Ethiopia, residing in Addis Ababa, Mekele, Dire Dawa and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Irish in Addis Ababa.

If you ever wish to have a chat in your Irish native language, discover where to shop for Irish food or discuss the Kerry G.A.A.'s latest match, become a member of the Ethiopian InterNations Community:

  • Look up our top quality network to get to know open-minded expats from Ireland or English-speaking expatriates in Ethiopia.
  • Obtain and share insider tips in our Ethiopia Expat Forums – e.g. how to hire a English-speaking babysitter for your children or where to buy Irish-style white and black pudding in Addis Ababa.
  • Search the InterNations Expat Guide for Ethiopia to get information on the local St Patrick's Society or the nearest Irish consulate.

From a land full of natural contrasts, with waterfalls and hot springs to some of Africa's highest mountains and largest caves, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly Irish expats in Ethiopia.

Join our expat activities and mingle with fellow Irish in Ethiopia

Moreover, please feel free to attend our regular expat events and activities in Ethiopia. Our get-togethers include diverse interests and range from a cozy gathering to enjoy the traditional Ethiopian doro wat, to big expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Addis Ababa’s best locations.
