Embark on an unforgettable journey to Simien Mountains National Park, a majestic UNESCO World Heritage site often referred to as the “Roof of Africa.” This dramatic landscape of jagged peaks, deep valleys, and breathtaking escarpments is the result of immense erosion over millions of years.

The Simien Mountains are a paradise for trekkers of all levels — from multi-day expeditions to scale Ras Dashen, Ethiopia’s highest peak, to shorter day hikes with incredible panoramic views. Trails wind through Afro-alpine moorlands and lush forests, with camping under a star-filled African sky.

Keep your eyes peeled for iconic gelada baboons grazing in large troupes on the plateau, the elusive Ethiopian wolf, and the graceful Walia ibex clinging to precarious cliffs. The park’s distinct Afro-alpine ecosystem and bizarre rock formations create a truly otherworldly experience.
