BEFORE YOU SET OFF

## A few things to know.

-   Treat village visits as visits to people’s homes: ask before photographing anyone and agree any fee first.
-   Share your travel dates, party size and preferred comfort level so the partner can confirm the route and lodging.
-   Bull-jumping ceremonies and particular markets depend on the community calendar; do not plan on a staged performance.

Before choosing dates, check [current Ethiopia travel advice and regional restrictions](https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/africa/ethiopia) . Routes and local access must be confirmed for your trip.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

## Good to know.

**Does this three-day tour start in Addis Ababa?**

The ground itinerary starts and ends in Jinka. A flight from Addis Ababa can connect you to the route, but flights are budgeted separately and must fit the confirmed itinerary.

**Will we see every community mentioned?**

The daily outline is a starting point. EthioSimien Eco Tours will confirm which visits are appropriate and available for your dates, with local guides and hosts.

**Can I take portraits during the visits?**

Ask the person first, using your guide to help you communicate. Agree any requested photography charge before taking a photograph and respect a refusal.
