Trekking in the scenic landscape Simien Mountains really does seem out of this world. A short flight from Addis takes us to the historic city of Gondar, renowned for its castles and churches. As we drive north towards the Simien Mountains the surprisingly green land just gets greener. Monolithic pinnacles and towers emerge out of the ground, backed by cliffs tumbling 1000’s of vertical metres to the verdant valleys below. We trek for tenfull days through this protected wilderness, gradually sinking into the primeval rhythms of this serene world. Following the tops of the precipices, we crossplateaux and rivers and after an ascent of RasDashen (4620m), Ethiopia’s highest peak, we descend to lower, warmer levels stopping at some stunningly gorgeous campsites to emerge from the mountains on the north side at AdiArkay.

During the trek we can expect to see many Gelada Baboons, the endemic Walia Ibex and if we are lucky the rare Simien Fox. A trek through this region will remain vivid in one’s memory for ever as there really is nowhere else in the world with comparable atmosphere and scenery.

Extend your trip with 2 nights in Lalibella, one of Ethiopia's holiest cities and visit the famous rock hewn churches. 2 people booking together - £595 each. There are reductions for group bookings: 3 people - £525 each, 4 or more people £485 each. Single bookings please ring for a quote.
