Splash into Fun at Kuriftu Water Park

Getting There

• Mini Bus

  From the center of Addis Ababa, head to the nearest mini bus station, often found at Meskel Square. Look for a mini bus labeled 'Bishoftu' or 'Debre Zeit.' The fare is typically inexpensive, around 10-20 Ethiopian Birr. Once on the bus, it will take you directly to Bishoftu, a journey that usually lasts about 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic. Inform the driver that you're going to Kuriftu Water Park to ensure they drop you off at the right place.

• Bole Lemi Terminal

  If you are closer to Bole Lemi Terminal, you can catch a bus heading to Bishoftu from there. Once at the bus terminal, find the buses with signs for Bishoftu. The fare will be similar, and the travel time will be about 1 hour. Again, let the driver know your destination.

• Walking from Bishoftu Center

  Once you arrive in Bishoftu, you can take a short taxi ride or walk to Kuriftu Water Park. If walking, head southeast from the bus station along the main road (Bishoftu Main Street) for about 2 km. Follow the signs leading to Kuriftu Water Park, which is located at the outskirts of Bishoftu. The park is well-known, so locals can also help guide you.

• Local Taxi

  Alternatively, upon arriving in Bishoftu, you can hire a local taxi to take you directly to Kuriftu Water Park. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand; it should be around 100-200 Ethiopian Birr for a short ride.
