Ethiopia is a land of mystery and adventure, where ancient civilizations and spectacular natural beauty collide to form a memorable experience. Ethiopia is a place of extremes, from the towering heights of the Simien Mountains to the blistering heat of the Danakil Depression; believe it or not, even the most seasoned tourist will be challenged and captivated by the beauty and magic of Ethiopia. Trek through the lush jungles of the Bale Mountains in search of rare and unusual wildlife, or explore Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches, which tradition says were sculpted by angels.

Explore Addis Abeba’s colorful marketplaces and interact with the locals in a unique way, eat the spicy cuisine, and immerse yourself in the intriguing country’s rich culture and history. Ethiopia is certainly a magical place that entices people like you, whether you seek adventure or simply want to get away from the ordinary.

Did you know that Ethiopia is one of the few African countries that has never been formally colonized by a European power? That is correct. The country faced several attempts by European countries who wanted to conquer yet another African land and establish control over it.

Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Ethiopians fought valiantly to maintain their nation’s independence and sovereignty. Inspiring.

Because the absence of a colonial power may be the reason why Ethiopia has its own timing and 13 months in the year, Don’t you think so? Bizarre! The uniqueness of the country makes it so much easier to navigate and we will make it even easier by giving you the 6 best tours to explore Ethiopia with ease.

There are countless things you can do in this ever-sovereign nation. Try visiting one of the magnificent national parks of Ethiopia and you will be amazed. For example, Nechisar National Park is a park in the Great Rift Valley known for its stunning landscapes and wildlife, which includes elephants, zebras, and various antelope species.

They are highly recognized for their unusual lip plates and are famed for the strange habit followed by their women who, when they reach maturity, have their lower lips sliced and circular clay discs inserted and live around the Omo River and the Mago National Park.

No matter how much we try to explain this tribal rite, nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes. Imagine putting a clay disc in your lower lip. This demonstrates how distinct ethnic practices differ from one ethnic group to the next.

This is what you will be set to explore during this short but worthy trip to Ethiopia’s Omo Valley. The tour takes a group of 4 participants between the ages of 12 to 90. It’s a family-friendly, fully-guided tour that costs $870 and includes 3 days of accommodation, transportation, and meals.

All the above tours prove our point that Ethiopia is indeed a land of mystery and adventure. There is so much you can experience and learn during your visit, so take along some notes and cameras for your souvenir collections.

Best time to visit ethiopia.

Travelers can expect plenty of sunshine while visiting Ethiopia. Temperatures are typically warm and balmy, although they can vary greatly with altitude. The lowland areas tend to be more hot and humid, while the highlands offer cooler temperatures. Rain is common from July to September but otherwise, sunshine prevails for the rest of the year.

Geography and environment

Landlocked Ethiopia is bordered by Kenya , Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti . Home to some of the most stunning and varied landscapes in Africa ,

Ethiopia is easily the most mountainous country in Africa, with the Simien and Bale ranges providing the highest peaks. The iconic Blue Nile (which is considered holy by locals) originates in Ethiopia's Lake Tana and runs through the country into neighboring Sudan.

Top 5 must-see sights of Ethiopia

1. churches of lalibela.

These miraculous, ancient churches cut from rock are the main reason travelers journey to the town Lalibela. Surrounded by myth and legend, these unique churches have stood for centuries and remain a sacred site for Ethiopians.

2. Aksum Ruins

This UNESCO World Heritage-listed archaeological site is home to some of the most impressive ancient ruins in the world. Located in the north of Ethiopia and featuring obelisks, royal tombs and remnants of palaces, fables suggest that this was once the home of the Queen of Sheba.

3. The Palace of Fasiladas

The city of Gonder is home to many incredible buildings, but the restored Palace of Fasiladas counts among the most impressive. Located within the Royal Enclosure, this castle possesses an intriguing fusion of Portuguese, Indian and Moorish decorative styles.

4. Blue Nile Falls

Meaning "smoking water" in Amharic, these legendary falls are best seen during the rainy season when the water levels swell, creating a thunderous amount of white water.

5. Debre Berhan Selassie Church

This unusual little church located in Gonder was built in the 17th century and features an elaborately decorated interior like no other - more than 100 winged cherubs are painted on the ceiling. A must-see when in Ethiopia.

Ethiopia travel faqs, what is the current situation in ethiopia.

Foreign governments are strongly advising against travel to Ethiopia due to political and security concerns in many regions of the country. With these travel advisories in place, we have made the decision to halt all current and future tours in Ethiopia for 2024 and beyond. The safety of our travelers, operators and team members is our top priority and any future decisions to resume operations will depend on the security of those involved.

Do I need a visa to travel to Ethiopia?

Note: This information is under review due to the current situation in the country.

Most nationalities require a visa for entry to Ethiopia. If you are flying into Addis Ababa you can obtain a visa on arrival. You'll need two passport photos and approximately US$40.

You may be asked for proof of a return ticket, so please carry your tour notes as proof that you are leaving overland. If you are entering at any border other than Addis Ababa airport you MUST obtain your visa in advance via your nearest Ethiopia embassy or consulate.

Is tipping customary in Ethiopia?

Tipping isn’t mandatory in Ethiopia but is considered polite in restaurants and bars. It's up to the individual to choose to tip or not but rounding up a bill for good service or leaving 1-2 birr is appropriate.

What is the internet access like in Ethiopia?

Internet cafes can be found in cities and large towns but less so in rural and remote places.

Can I use my cell phone while in Ethiopia?

Cell phone coverage is quite good in Ethiopia's urban areas, but less so in rural, remote and mountainous areas. Ensure you have global roaming activated before leaving home if you wish to use your cell phone.

What are the toilets like in Ethiopia?

Squat/pit toilets are the standard in Ethiopia, except for western-style flushable toilets that are sometimes available in large hotels and other modern buildings. Carry your own supply of soap and toilet paper, as this is rarely provided.

Can I drink the water in Ethiopia?

Tap water isn't considered safe for tourists to drink. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Ask your leader and accommodation provider for local advice on where drinking water can be accessed. Also, avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit before eating.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Ethiopia?

Credit cards are accepted only by a few large hotels in Addis Ababa as cash is the main mode of payment in Ethiopia. Ensure you have adequate cash to cover purchases not able to be made on credit.

What is ATM access like in Ethiopia?

There are a few ATMs that accept foreign cards in Ethiopia, mainly in Addis Ababa and other large cities. Withdrawing cash from ATMs can't necessarily be relied on, so carrying foreign currency (like US dollars) is recommended.

Does my trip support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. Trips to this country directly support our global Intrepid Foundation partners, Eden Reforestation Projects and World Bicycle Relief. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip.
