What to Buy for your Holiday to Ethiopia?

You may be wondering when planning a your travel adventure – what to buy for your holiday to Ethiopia?

One of the most important things to consider when shopping for your Ethiopian adventure is luggage. Ideally, you want luggage that is large enough to carry all your belongings, but still easy enough to cart around with you.

A good backpack is then a very good option, as it allows you to easily travel through the country without having huge suitcases to carry. A decent money bag is also important, you will be able to keep your valuables and money in this, and wear it under your t-shirt.

An Ethiopia guide book and a phrase book will see you in good stead – especially with an up to date map.

You should also purchase a very basic first aid kit, which includes bandages, anti-diarrhea and nausea pills, plus headache pills and vitamins.

Most plug sockets are different from UK and US sockets, so a plug adapter is also a good idea.
