However, please note that Ethiopia is listed in the endemic zone for yellow fever so travellers arriving from non-endemic areas are recommended to get the vaccine. It is also advisable to be immunised for Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid and Polio.<\/p><p>Malaria is a health issue for many Ethiopians, especially for those living in lowland areas. However, Malaria is not a problem in highlands (above 1,600 meters above sea level), including Addis Ababa, Lalibela, Axum, Mekele, Gondar and Harar. Some popular destinations such as Awassa, Bahir Dar and Lake Tana\u2019s surroundings can pose a risk for Malaria especially at the end of the rainy season (October-November). Consequently, it is highly advisable to bring mosquito repellent and discuss anti-malarial tablets with your health professional before you travel.<\/p><p>It is highly recommended to purchase health insurance for the duration of your stay in Ethiopia. In addition, a first aid pack is essential and it should include: antihistamine, antiseptic cream for insect bites, plasters, high SPF sunscreen, anti diarrhoea medication and oral rehydration salts in case of severe dehydration. Please note that on arrival to Addis, many travels forget the strength of the sun due to the high altitude and get sunburnt very quickly. It is advisable to protect your skin accordingly as UV strength across Ethiopia is high.<\/p><p>For more information on vaccines and health issues please check\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/countries\/eth\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this link<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c436d4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1c436d4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a1c264 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3a1c264\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12f4919 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"12f4919\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">VISA<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c14a6b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c14a6b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tourist visas (for one or three months, single entry) are available at the following link.

When planning a trip, it is advisable to check the average temperatures of the region you plan to visit due to this geographical variation. For example, on a trip to South and the Bale Mountains temperatures are low and warm clothing is essential. In contrast, a trip to the North and the Danakil Depression, you can easily experience daytime temperatures above 50\u00baC (122\u00baF).<\/p><p>The Ethiopian climate is actually quite pleasant for tourism due to the altitude. Thus, on the historic North route situated in the Ethiopian highlands, temperatures vary on average of 15\u00baC (59\u00baF) and 27\u00baC (80\u00baF). On the other hand, in some southern areas of Ethiopia its warmer on average with temperatures reaching up to 32\u00baC (90\u00baF).<\/p><p>The rainy season normally starts mid-June and it will continue until early October but sometimes this pattern may change from the Rift Valley area (starting and ending a few weeks earlier than in the highlands) to the Omo Valley (concentrating the rainy season in March, April and May).<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aad960c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"
