Flights to Ethiopia from the UK take around 7-8 hours direct. Ethiopian Airlines operates daily non-stop service from London Heathrow to Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD).
Bole Airport serves as a major African hub. Ethiopian Airlines connects to 60+ African destinations from here. The airport underwent expansion and now has a modern Terminal 2 for international flights.
UK citizens can get an e-visa online before travel or a visa on arrival at Addis Ababa airport. The e-visa costs around $52 for a 30-day single entry.
Dry Season (October-February)
Best time to visit. Clear skies, mild temperatures 20-25°C in highlands. Timkat (Ethiopian Epiphany) in January spectacular. Peak tourist season.
Spring (March-May)
Short rains in April. Landscapes green and lush. Fewer tourists. Ethiopian Easter celebrations. Good for birdwatching.
Rainy Season (June-September)
Heavy rains in highlands. Roads can be difficult. Meskel festival (September) marks end of rains. Cheapest flights. Some lodges offer discounts.
