PURCHASED IN ADDIS ABABA

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Gonder has VERY limited shopping opportunities outside of some cold drinks and souvenirs. On top of that there is a 100% import tax on all goods from outside Ethiopia. Lalibela gets most of its goods overland from Addis Ababa, increasing the price. Finding women’s hygiene products and things like deodorants is not guaranteed and will cost you 2-4 times what you would buy it for at home. My deodorant (pictured) cost my twice what it would in the USA. Please pack accordingly.
