  • Ethiopia ↗Check visa and entry rules, including any e-visa, on Ethiopia's official immigration portal for your passport before booking.
  • Ethiopia ↗Check your government's advice region by region before booking domestic flights; some areas, including parts of the north, have had advice against all travel.
  • Ethiopia ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention (lowland areas), altitude, and whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for your route.
  • Ethiopia ↗Confirm times in writing: local 'Ethiopian time' counts hours from about 6 am, so 2 o'clock local can mean 8 am.
  • Addis Ababa area ↗Check your own government's travel advice before booking domestic flights: some regions carry warnings or restrictions that change quickly.
  • Addis Ababa ↗Addis is at about 2,350 m: rest on the first afternoon, drink water and go easy on alcohol the first night.
  • Addis Ababa ↗Use a hotel car or a ride-hailing app (such as Ride or Feres) where available; agree the fare before you get in a street taxi. Avoid cross-town trips at 07:30–09:30 and 16:30–19:00.
  • Addis Ababa ↗Do not photograph government buildings, military sites, police or airports. Ask before photographing people.
