Go straight to Ethiopian Airlines Cargo at the airport in Addis. I dealt with them directly and everything went along without a hitch at point of departure.
However, the route I used meant that the bike had to be transferred from a wide body jet to a narrow body in Amsterdam. So it actually didn't fit into the 2nd aircraft. This was not picked up at the time of sending so it was a bit of a mystery as to where my bike was, as the tracking number showed that the shipment was 'in the air' for a couple of days.
In the end Ethiopian trucked it to Rotterdam where I had made arrangements for it.
Prices are pretty irrelevant as it was a several years ago. Maybe try and contact them on their website before hand.
Remember they will charge you volumetric weight or actual weight depending on which is the greater.
regards,
CJ.
