**Ethiopia Unlocked** is an independent travel publication about Ethiopia. We write the guides we wished existed when we first planned trips here: specific, honest about costs and logistics, respectful of the people and places we cover, and current.

## How we work

Every guide is researched against first-hand accounts and checked against official sources — park fees, visa portals, festival calendars, airline schedules — before publishing, and revisited when things change. Where a fact moves faster than we can publish, we say so rather than quoting a number that will be wrong by the time you read it: Ethiopian prices in particular have moved sharply since the birr was floated, so we give ranges and tell you to confirm locally.

We publish in **English and Amharic**. The site is built for two audiences at once — visitors planning a first trip, and the Ethiopian diaspora navigating visits, money and property from abroad.

## Corrections

We would rather be corrected than be wrong. If a price, opening time, route or entry rule in one of our guides no longer matches what you found on the ground, tell us on the [contact page](https://ethiopiaunlocked.com/contact/) and we will verify and update it. Readers who have just travelled catch things before we do, and that mail is the most useful we receive.

## How the site is funded

Three sources, all disclosed. **Affiliate links** to tour and booking partners: if you book through one it costs you nothing extra and funds the writing. **Advertising**, clearly labelled. And links to our own sister services, which are marked as ours rather than presented as independent recommendations.

Commissions never decide what we recommend — several guides advise against bookable products, and we do not accept paid guest posts or paid links. Affiliate links are marked rel="sponsored" and routed through /go/ so they are transparent and auditable. Full detail on the [affiliate disclosure page](https://ethiopiaunlocked.com/affiliate-disclosure/), and what happens to your data on the [privacy page](https://ethiopiaunlocked.com/privacy/).

## What we are not

We are not a tour operator, a booking agent or a visa service. We cannot book your trip or intervene with an operator on your behalf — the guides are written so you can do those things yourself, with enough detail to avoid the expensive mistakes.
