Addis Ababa, the capital of the African Union, is a peaceful and safe city. As long as they are accompanied by their supervisor, clients can rely entirely on their guide and have no worries about their safety. It's also very safe to visit other cities, and when exploring the villages, we also have scouts or security personnel who protect us throughout the entire trip.
