Best travel tips

There are a hundreds of blogs about travel tips on the internet but I’m going to give you the best tips on how to travel Ethiopia.

1. Every foreigner (except Kenyans) need a visa. So get your visa beforehand or be prepared to get it upon arrival at the bole international airport Addis Abeba for $70. Visit the Ethiopian embassy for more information http://www.ethiopianembassy.org/.
2. Make sure you picked the right time to visit. As I said in my earlier blog posts, make sure that you are going on the right time to attend the cultural/national holidays.
3. Bring enough cash with you since it might be impossible or very hard to use checks, credit and debit cards. But you don’t need to worry about the currency exchange that much because 1 US dollar is worth up to 35 Ethiopian birr.
4. Last but not least be advised about safety before traveling. Try to avoid any areas with unstable safety conditions.
