Video: Trekking and Hiking in the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia

Presentation

We consider trekking and hiking in the Simiem Mountains is Ethiopia's signature adventure. Having an epic adventure travel in Ethiopia without going to the Simien Mountains doesn't worth it.

The Semien Mountains (Amharic: ስሜን ተራሮች), in northern Ethiopia, north east of Gondar in Amhara region, are part of the Ethiopian Highlands. They are a World Heritage Site and include the Simien Mountains National Park. The mountains consist of plateaus separated by valleys and rising to pinnacles. The tallest peak is Ras Dejen (4,550 m); other notable heights include Mounts Biuat (4,437 m) and Kidis Yared (4,453 m). Because of their geological origins, the mountains are almost unique, with only South Africa's Drakensberg having been formed in the same manner and thus appearing similar. Notable animals in the mountains include the walia ibex, gelada, and caracal.
