• 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.
