Ethiopia Travel and Vacation – Good to know

Essential information for your trip

Visa Requirements

Attention: A visa is required for entry into Ethiopia. You can apply for it online through the Ethiopian embassy or upon arrival at the airport. It is advisable to obtain the visa in advance to avoid long waiting times. The online application is straightforward and provides prompt approval, which often occurs within 3 business days.

Best Airport

The best airport for international arrivals is the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. It offers extensive connections and modern facilities. With numerous international flights, it is the perfect starting point for your adventures in Ethiopia. Plan enough time for entry, as there can sometimes be long wait times.

Local Currency and Payment

The local currency is the Ethiopian Birr (ETB). Credit cards are accepted in larger cities, but not everywhere reliably. It is advisable to bring cash, especially for rural areas and smaller businesses. ATMs are available in the cities, but currency exchange can be difficult; plan accordingly!

Vaccinations and Travel Insurance

Before visiting Ethiopia, vaccinations against Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever are recommended, as well as malaria prophylaxis depending on the region. A travel insurance is absolutely necessary to ensure coverage in case of illness or accidents. Make sure to check the specific vaccination recommendations in advance!

Driving in Ethiopia

To drive in Ethiopia, you need an international driving license in addition to your national driving license. Road conditions can be challenging, so caution is advised. Taxis and public transport are often the better choice for travelers who want to explore the cities and rural areas.

Buying SIM Cards

Acquiring a local SIM card is easy; you can buy it at airports or in stores of mobile providers (e.g., Ethio Telecom). Bring your passport, as you will need it for registration. Prices are affordable, and you will get immediate internet access, which significantly eases your communication and navigation!
