Things to Do in Hawassa Hawassa is one of the more advanced and developed cities of Ethiopia located 275 km south of Addis Ababa.

Taxies, bicycles, horse-drawn carts (Garii) and three-legged motor taxis (Bajjaj) are the means of transportation utilized by locals.

Heading for Hawassa AUGUST 13, 2014   /  MICHAEL STRAUSS   /  COMMENTS OFF Leaving Yabello , I had been warned that the road all the way up to Hawassa was under construction , so I was up early to get a good start . I rode to the fuel station next to the motel , they were out , then across the road to join the ever growing queue for petrol , there must have been over 100 plastic containers lined up and around 20 tuk- tuks and motorcycles  in front of me , so I joined the line .

Those who take this route in years to come will
