Bodyguards and Executive Protection in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Whether you live in Addis Ababa or are flying in for business or diplomacy, we keep you and your family safe. Addis Ababa is Ethiopia's capital and business centre, home to the African Union headquarters and the UN Economic Commission for Africa. It is also the hub of Ethiopian Airlines. The Blackwolf Group Global gives you bodyguards, secure drivers and route planning for every day you spend in Addis Ababa.
Addis Ababa needs local knowledge. The city sits high, at over 2,300 metres, and traffic around Bole and Meskel Square is heavy. Pickpockets work in crowded areas. Summits and official visits bring sudden road closures, so every route has to be planned by people who know the city.

Threat picture
Addis Ababa at the moderate risk band
Addis Ababa is generally calm, but it carries risk. Visitors who look wealthy can be targeted by thieves, and some regions of Ethiopia are under government travel warnings. Mobile data can be cut at short notice in times of unrest. From the moment you confirm, our team checks your routes and venues before you arrive and writes a daily threat brief. We keep it updated for as long as we protect you.
Our risk briefings draw on public information, what we learned on earlier jobs in the area, and regular contact with trusted local partners. If the risk changes while we protect you, the team is told straight away.
