Training venue
Addis Ababa offers a range of international-standard hotels and dedicated training venues, particularly in areas like Bole and the city center, with modern meeting rooms and conference facilities suited to professional programs.
Getting there
No direct flights from the United States to Addis Ababa; travelers connect via hubs such as London (Heathrow) on British Airways, Frankfurt on Lufthansa, or Paris on Air France, with approximate journey times of 16–20 hours. The arrival airport is Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD).
Visa
U.S. passport holders can enter Ethiopia with a visa obtained in advance online or on arrival at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport; one source says the tourist e-Visa/visa-on-arrival option is available for stays of 30 or 90 days, and the 30-day single-entry visa is quoted at about $62. For a 5-day professional training trip, the 30-day single-entry option is sufficient, and the passport should be valid for at least six months from entry.
Safety
Take normal urban precautions: keep valuables discreet, use registered taxis or trusted ride-hailing services, and follow local advice about areas to avoid after dark or during political events.
