Physical Requirements
Easy
The Extra Day in Addis Ababa does not require a high degree of physical fitness, but does involve walking on both smooth surfaces and cobblestones as well as climbing a few stairs. Travelers should be prepared to be out for a full day and on their feet for a few hours at a time with opportunities to sit in between. Physical activities include easy museum and experiential walking tours that combined will last several hours. Travelers will be taking frequent breaks as they traverse town by vehicle, but they should be prepared to stand for a length of time at each stop along the itinerary. Addis Ababa is at an elevation of approximately 7,700 feet above sea level, so some acclimation may be required.
Important Information About This Trip
Mandatory Insurance
Since the areas we travel to are remote and wild (that's why we go there!), we require that all guests have, at minimum, medical evacuation insurance for this program. This is for the safety of all guests. We require that your chosen independent insurance plan includes at least $250,000 in medical evacuation coverage.
To protect your investment and to provide peace of mind while you travel, we also strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel
insurance. Plans may cover everything from medical treatment to trip cancellations and delays and lost luggage. Please contact our office if you would like more information about the medical evacuation and comprehensive travel insurance policies we offer by calling 800-543-8917.
Getting There & Getting Home
You are free to arrive in Addis Ababa at any time on Day 1 of the extension. You will spend one night in Addis, depart early the next morning for your excursion, and then join your group on the evening of Day 2 to begin our Wild Ethiopia adventure. We can best serve you if Natural Habitat Adventures' Travel Desk makes these reservations, as we are intimately familiar with the special requirements of this program and can make the most efficient arrangements. Please call us at 800-543-8917. Note that while we offer you the best possible rates available to us on airfare and additional nights' accommodations, you may find special web rates or better fares online.
