Most visitors need a visa. You can obtain an e-Visa through the official Ethiopian Immigration website before your trip. We can provide guidance on the application process. Citizens of some African Union countries may enter visa-free.

Addis Ababa has a mild climate year-round due to its high altitude. The best times are October to February (dry season with clear skies) and March to May (before the main rains). The rainy season (June-September) can still be enjoyable with fewer tourists.

We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak season (October-January). However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests depending on guide availability.

Yellow fever vaccination is recommended and may be required depending on your country of origin. We also recommend hepatitis A & B, typhoid, and staying up-to-date on routine vaccinations. Consult your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel.
