Destination overview

FCO travel update: the FCO advises against travel to several areas of Ethiopia. For full details of the areas, see the FCO website.

Ethiopia has mysteries and legends. This cradle of humanity is a Christian land, known for the three wise men (magi). It shares borders with Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Djibouti, and Eritrea. It does not have direct access to the Red Sea, but this does not take away the charm of the place. Its beautiful lakes contrast with the dizzy heights. Without forgetting that it is from here that the Nile River originates. Lions, elephants and gazelles run free. The different national parks are in charge of ensuring the animals' tranquillity and security. Ethiopia is a vast volcanic plateau with desert landscape. However, in the north, you can gaze at the most spectacular waterfalls of northern Africa.

pros

  •  The country, kingdom of the Queen of Sheba, has an extremely rich past.
  •  The wildlife is extremely diversified.

cons

  •  The country has been in conflict with Erytrea since May 1998.
  •  Many roads and tracks are impassable during the rainy season (from June to September).

Our Editorial team's advice

Since the signature of a cease-fire between Eritrea and Ethiopia on 18th June 2000, airline connections across nearly the entire territory have been restored and touristic areas, such as Lalibella, Gondar, Bahar Dar and Axoum, are all under surveillance. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises against visiting the volcanic Lake Wonchi and going out at night in the city of Dire Daoua. Finally, the regions of Somalia and Afar should be avoided at all costs.
