  • Pacing: Spend at least 7 days per region.
  • Transport: Avoid unregulated transport and unlicensed guides.
  • Vetting: Check operators with ATTA or SATSA.
  • Transit: Book airport transfers directly through lodges.
  • Airlines: Stick to trusted carriers e.g Airlink or Ethiopian.
  • Classic Combinations: Focus on complementary pairings within the same region to minimize logistical stress.
