It’s important to get the right level of Ethiopia insurance before you travel or begin operations there. Inter-tribal conflict, border disputes, poor infrastructure and healthcare can present problems to the visitor. Any Ethiopia insurance plan needs to take this into account and may need to include specialist cover for high risks areas.

Africa’s oldest country is a land of dramatic varied landscapes and fascinating history, yet it is best known for the tragedy of its droughts, famines and war with Eritrea. It is currently regarded as one of Africa’s more stable states though it continues to be one of its poorest.
The FCO advice is against travel to many of the country’s border areas due to ongoing military activity, inter-tribal conflict and border disputes. The Eritrean border is particularly volatile, and the Somali, Sudanese and Kenyan borders are also very dangerous. Gambella in western Ethiopia should also be avoided.
The healthcare system is wholly inadequate by western standards and comprehensive international medical insurance in Ethiopia is strongly advised and must include cover for emergency evacuation and repatriation.
Workers and tourists have been targeted for kidnap in the north-east of the country. There is a threat from terrorism likely to be targeted at western interests, though there have not been any attacks to date. There have been some minor bombings and violent demonstrations in Addis Ababa related to ongoing controversy over elections.
Although violent crime is relatively rare, petty theft is common in Addis Ababa.
