Physical requirements Ethiopia
You should be physically fit on all hiking trips and on journeys generally. If you had a surgery shortly before the journey, you may set yourself into a high risk and you may also hinder the rest of the group. Also problems with your circulation system do not recommend the participation on journeys to Ethiopia. Never forget, that you will be in a country where the healthy system may be very basic or in some parts not existant. In some parts of Ethiopia there are high temperatures, like in the Danakil desert.
