Things you should know:
Weather:
When planning your tour, take into account the seasons in Ethiopia. In Addis Ababa and Ethiopia's northern highland vicinities, the rainy season begins at the end of May and continues until the end of August.
Rains in the South Omo Valley region are heaviest from March to June.
Clothing:
In the Ethiopian highlands and especially the mountains, prepare yourself with layered clothing
Medical: First and foremost, consult your doctor. You may suffer from altitude sickness in the highland areas (2300-4000 m). Travelers often encounter stomach problems due to foreign bacteria. Malaria is common in areas less than 2000 m such as the Rift Valley.
