OUR STORY

Where every ride

Joy Ride is an Addis Ababa leisure venture from Joy Ride Trading One Member PLC. We’re bringing electric animal rides and recreational donut boats to the city’s park experience, with families and shared enjoyment at the heart of what we do.

Our aim is simple: give visitors another reason to get outdoors, spend time together and make memories.
