Hi. I’m planning a trip to Ethiopia in September and I have a few questions. If any of you guys can help me, I would really appreciate it.
After doing some research myself, it is still unclear to me wether there are parts of the country where you need an authorization from the goverment to go to. I know the Afar region is to be avoided, as well as country borders. But other than that? Arba Minch for example?
Also which do you think is the best (cost effective) way to travel between cities? I heard busses are slow, but cheap. Planes are too expensive. Any advice?
Another issue would be accomodation in remote areas. If I want to spend some time in rural areas, what do you think I should do for accomodation? Comfort is not an issue.
If you think of anything that might be helpful, please let me know.
Thank you,
Tudor
