TRAVEL & TEACH ENGLISH IN ETHIOPIA
Ethiopia - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
Reconsider travel to Ethiopia due to sporadic violent conflict, civil unrest, crime, communications disruptions, terrorism and kidnapping in border areas.
Teaching English abroad in Ethiopia offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a country rich in history, culture, and stunning landscapes. As a growing hub for education and international collaboration, Ethiopia has a high demand for English teachers in schools, universities, and community programs. In cities like Addis Ababa, known as the political capital of Africa, teachers can make a meaningful impact while exploring vibrant markets, traditional music, and world-famous coffee culture. Whether it's engaging with eager students or discovering breathtaking landmarks like the Simien Mountains and Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches, teaching English in Ethiopia is a deeply rewarding experience that blends professional growth with cultural enrichment. Ethiopia, located in the Horn of Africa, is a land of dramatic contrasts. Its geography is dominated by the rugged Ethiopian Highlands, a vast plateau with elevations reaching over 4,000 meters above sea level. This elevated region is crisscrossed by deep canyons and river valleys, including the source of the Blue Nile. In contrast, the country's eastern lowlands descend into the arid Danakil Depression, one of the hottest and lowest places on Earth. Ethiopia's landscape also features diverse ecosystems, from the afro-alpine moorlands of the Bale Mountains to the savannas of the south. This unique blend of mountains, valleys, and plains creates a rich tapestry of biodiversity and cultural diversity across the country.
