Overview

No matter how you look at it, the Unesco World Heritage鈥搇isted Simien Mountains National Park (釈ㄡ埌釄溼姇 釅搬埆釄壗 釅メ垟釄媻 釐撫埈釆) is one of Africa鈥檚 most beautiful ranges. This massive plateau, riven with gullies and pinnacles, offers tough but immensely rewarding trekking along the ridge that falls sheer to the plains far below. It鈥檚 not just the scenery (and altitude) that will leave you speechless, but also the excitement of sitting among a group of gelada monkeys, or watching magnificent walia ibex joust on rock ledges. Whether you come for a stroll or a two-week trek, the Simiens make a great companion to the historical circuit鈥檚 monument-viewing.
