Simien Mountains National Park

UNESCO World Heritage site with Ras Dashen — Africa's fourth highest peak — and endemic Walia ibex, Ethiopian wolf, and gelada baboons.

The Simien Mountains National Park is located in northern Ethiopia and includes the fourth highest peak in Africa — Ras Dashen — at 4,550 meters (14,928 feet). The park is home to several animals found only in Ethiopia including the Walia Ibex, the Ethiopian Wolf, and the Gelada. The park offers spectacular trekking opportunities including ascents of Ras Dashen. Africa's highest lodge is located inside the park and a new lodge has recently opened nearby. The unique beauty and dramatic landscapes in the Park have earned it recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site. EthioSoul Tour treks into the park include all camping equipment and supplies and are accompanied by a mountain guide, camp cook, park scout, and pack animals.
