Best time for Trekking in Ethiopia and What to bring for any Trekking trips

The best time for trekking is the drier season between October and May. During June, July and August afternoon showers occur practically every day. This should not keep you away. If you move through the mountains early in the day you are safe most of the time because rains usually set in after midday. The rainy season has its own attractions. The plant life is particularly lush and it is the time of colourful flowering vegetation.

We recommend bringing the following when you come for trekking to Ethiopia:

• Binoculars and torches
• To avoid sunburn a hat and sun blocker are essential.
• Waterproofs,   sunscreens and water purifying tablets are all necessary.
• The trek requires suitable clothing for extreme temperatures. Because the weather in the mountains tends to be unpredictable a pullover, warm jacket and rainwear are also recommended. Pack able layers are also recommended.  Lightweight fabrics that dry quickly after hand washing are essential.  Clothing designed for maximum freedom of movement must provide good wind, rain, and sun protection
• Strong shoes are important 
• Foodstuffs and the main luggage are carried by mules where they will remain until the camp is reached. Your daily needs should be carried in a separate pack.
• Do not forget the camera, video (batteries cannot be charged on the trek), and plenty of films.

CYCLING

The beautiful landscapes and the peaceful safe environment are favorable conditions for cycling in the country. The Bali Mountains, Simien Mountains and Rift Valley region can be sited as places of cycling.
