Ethiopia FAQ

The local currency in Ethiopia is the Ethiopian Birr (ETB). Credit and debit cards are accepted at some hotels, larger restaurants, and shops in major cities like Addis Ababa, but they are not widely accepted elsewhere. Cash is essential for markets, taxis, smaller towns, and rural areas.
Most travellers to Ethiopia need a visa to enter the country. You can obtain an e-visa online before your trip or get a visa on arrival at certain airports. It is recommended to check the latest requirements for your nationality before travelling, as rules can change.
There are no mandatory vaccinations for all travellers to Ethiopia, but some are strongly recommended for your safety. These include yellow fever (required if arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever), hepatitis A and B, and typhoid. It is also advisable to consult your healthcare provider for personalised recommendations before travelling.
Ethiopia is generally safe for travellers, including solo and female visitors, especially in major cities and popular tourist areas. However, it is important to take usual precautions: avoid walking alone at night, dress modestly, and respect local customs.
