The Ethiopia COVID-19-PRC-TEST for International travel
Commercial flights are operating between Ethiopia and the UK, US, as well as other European and international destinations. You should contact your airline or travel company for the latest information.
From 7 June 2021, all passengers arriving in, departing from or transiting Ethiopia must validate their COVID-19 RT PCR test via the Africa Union Trusted Travel or UNDP Global Haven systems (you will need to register an account on one of these sites). These systems will generate a digital Trusted Travel reference code for your test, which must be presented. Paper certificates will not be accepted without a digital reference code from 1 July 2021.

Packing for the Weather in Ethiopia
The conditions in Ethiopia can be very different depending on the region and the season.
Summers are quite wet in much of the country, with June, July, and August experiencing bouts of heavy rainfall. People visiting Ethiopia in summer are advised to bring an umbrella and waterproof clothing.
The altitude of the region is a big factor in what clothes to wear. Parts of the country are almost tropical at around 30°C, while higher elevations can be a little chilly at 10-16°C.
The mountains are particularly cold at night, so visitors staying in these regions should dress to keep warm.
