About
Simien Mountains National Park, in northern Ethiopia is a spectacular landscape, where massive erosion over millions of years has created jagged mountain peaks, deep valleys and sharp precipices dropping some 1,500 m. The park is of global significance for biodiversity conservation because it is home to globally threatened species, including the iconic Walia ibex, a wild mountain goat found nowhere else in the world, the Gelada baboon and the Ethiopian wolf.

- MrarkcaterSanta Barbara de Nexe, Portugal2 contributionsi highly recommend booking tours thought Adem you can reach him via whatsapp +251932919301E-mail gondarcamelot@gmail.comMy boyfriend and I had limited time in Ethiopia and wanted to make the most of it. We headed to Gondor in a quest to see the Simiens and literally stumbled across Adem and North Ethiopian tour operator I'm usually wary of people who approach us and offer tours but there was something warm and personable about Adem , so we trusted him to show us a good time. Not only did he book an amazing tour for us but, after overhearing my desire to see a traditional coffee ceremony, he invited us to his house for one. We had the privilege of meeting his family and friends. We ended up doing a 3 day 2 night hike, but wish we had had more time. The hiking itself was difficult for me, I have never walked at such altitude, but the tour guide was encouraging and knowledgeable. The views were spectacular and the wildlife breathtaking (you can get so close to the gelada monkeys!) On our return to Gondar Adem helped us find a great hotel in Bahir Dar and a tour guide for Lake Tana. Even helped me secure a surprise birthday cake for my boyfriends birthday. I can't say enough about how awesome this whole experience was. In forever grateful! i highly recommend booking tours thought Adem you can reach him via whatsapp +251932919301 E-mail gondarcamelot@gmail.comVisited December 2022Traveled as a coupleWritten December 20, 2022

The Simien mountains really looks untouched. my friend from France and I met in Addis at the cafe and discussed to hike in the Simien mountains sharing the cost which I was very lucky to find them and we all were lucky our hike organized by Eyosi at Gonder who made our tour memorable and pleasant. He was very flexible with the itinerary and I can say reasonable price quote. He also guided us fir three days in the mountains.

Eyosi is full of good tips about Ethiopia, and a bottomless well of knowledge about the wild life in the Semien mountains. Super nice and smart guy, he is always ready to walk the extra mile to make sure you’re having the time of our life, like the day he took us for an hour more of hike, up from base camp 2, just for us to have the best sunset we ever had chance to see in our life.

- Tewodros G1 contributionExcellent trip to the Simien montains!Three friends and I went on a 3 nights/4 days hike in Simien Mountains and everything worked perfectly fine. The booking and contact before were very smooth and since two of us are vegetarians they arranged vegetarian food for us which we appreciate very much. Our original plan was to go to Gonder from Bahir Dar (were we stayed before) by local bus but Robel arranged a car for us within one day noticed which made the trip very comfortable. All four of us are very satisfied with the trip; the transportation to Simien Mountains, our guide Amanuel who spoke very good English and seemed to know everything about the area, our nice scout Omer, our chef that prepared delicious food for us and the beautiful landscape – it all made the trek to a memory for life. We would definitely recommend others to book their Simien mountaints trek with Robels’s company.

Since decades we travel around so called difficult countries, this year Ethiopia. We do not simply buy a package from an international tour operator, also to have the money earned by locals.
As Individual Travelers the Siemien Mountains are a real challenge due to the pure organisation implemented re. transport and the wide spread greed of the locals one is exposed to as individual traveller. People are generally friendly but when it comes to money or service they cheat where they can. We ended up to pay our driver from Addis who refused to drive up to the Siemien Mountain Lodge to better stay in Gondar with his uncles family on our payroll for 3 days, (SML does not offer a shuttle from Debark but can organise a 150$ return transport to Debark on a normal 22km piste! The lodge itself is disappointing and not worth the price), we spent a couple of hours to find a reasonable low fee (40USD) to make the drive from Debark to Simien Mountain Lodge with a senior guy called Arbera (best regards from Chris) i.o. $120. We paid for a nice but useless Rifleman (Scout) which is obviously part of an employment program and we had a cheating young Guide who lost interest in hiking and made up a fake story that we have to cancel a hiking tour as the Park Gate closes at 18:00 and the road back were so difficult although Tuck Tuck make it (we then passed it at 14:45!). He obviously ordered the driver to drive dead slow and plaid all sort of funny things with us - main objective - Matheo got his fee. Don't take him. The few hikes were very nice and the views and animals (Ghelabas, Birds) spectecular.
The locals are nice too but better take pens and small money with you, I still hear all the voices crying "give me", "Pen", "Birr"

Trekking in the Simien Mountains is one of the top things to do in the whole of East Africa. We were a group of six (three couples), our tour organiser was Gismu - +251 93548 0330 - and our guide for four days was Alex. I would strongly recommend both for your tour. The experience was incredibly well run. The camping equipment was functional and warm, the breakfast and evening meal in particular were delicious and hearty and the whole team of chefs, tent makers, mule men, and scouts couldn't have worked harder over four days to make our trip safe and comfortable yet challenging.

I did a three days trekking in the Simien mountains with friends and I can just recommend it. It has amazing views and landscape! You will be also able to see some animals. It can be cold at night, so be prepared for that!
The trip was organized by Desalgn and all the team was great! I really recommend them! They really contributed for our stay to go so well.
You can contact Desalegn through the e-mail address desalgn2012@gmail.com or the whatsapp number +251918305925

My friend and I went on a 6 days trek accross the Simiens mountains.
We asked Dave Yohannes to organize the trip. He did it perfectly ! First, he's very reactive (send him a whatsapp message or an email). He also listen to the way you want to trek We asked for a sporty trip and we weren't disapointed, especially the last two days with the ascent of the Ras Dejen, top of Ethiopia, and the Ras Buyit, 2d highest top :)
Dave assembled the best team of professionnal to go with us troughout the trek. Everything was perfect : we had friendly horsemans, talentuous cooks (i would say the best i've ever had !) a smart and attentive guide. The staff use good gears and they are very helpfull and caring.
I felt like i was with my family.
Of course Simiens Mountains landscapes are wonderful : it's extraordinary to wake up and see an Ethiopian wolf crossing the camp ! And when you go for a short run at the end of the day, and you meet more than one hundred Geladas Baboons, sit and look at us till the sun set. I was fascinated.
I can only recommend Dave and his staff if you want to travel in the best conditions ! He's very accomodant (he picked us up at our hotel, gave us advices), professionnel, reassuring and friendly.

I joined a 3 days trekk in Simiem Mountains organized by Mohammed in February. I had a wonderful time there . Evrything was very well organized.
Our guide Worku was great, food was very good I even had special meals as a vegan. The landscapes and the wildlife are unbelievable, if you are not sure yet to do it I highly recommend it you won't regret it at all. It is a must do !
I would like to thank all the people who did everything to make our journey unbelievable, the guide, the scouts,the cooks and the persons who are building up the camp in order for us to feel good back at the camp after these big walks 🙏👌! I also want to thanks Mohammed to have organized everything for me and to have checked if everything was going good all the way and also thanks to him and his friend for their hospitality and their help back in Gonder🙌👌.
If you are a bit sensitive to the cold maybe bring an extra sleeping bag . You will have spleeping bag and blanket supplied but because of the altitude nights can be quite cold 😀.

We had an amazing experience in the Simien Mountains booked through Gismu, who is based in Gondar. We did four days and everything was well catered for, our guide Alex was brilliant and incredibly friendly and genuine, while the chef made us delicious food with more fresh vegetables than we have had anywhere in Ethiopia. Warm sleeping bags and blankets were provided for the cold night and plenty of hot drinks around the bonfire in the evening. Would highly recommend using Gismu as an operator who can be contacted on gismudebark@yahoo.com and +251935480330

I did a 4-day hike in the Simien Mountains independently - was planning to join an organised group but that didn't work out. The views were good but it was not pleasant walking on the roads and breathing in dust from the traffic. The only day I thought was worth hiking and really spectacular was from Gich to Chenek.
However, my encounter with the staff at the National Park office left my whole experience a lot to be desired. They initially did not want to proceed with my permit when they found out that I did not have transportation arranged. When I asked about the transportation, I was quoted 2000 Bir just to get in (contrast this to the quote of 1500 Bir to get a private transfer from Axum to Gondar). Next, they wanted to charge me for an extra day because I have to 'walk back' from Chenek to Debark. This is probably the only national park in the world that would dictate the number of days I have to spend in the park. I got away with not arranging transportation (the moment I walked out of the office, someone offered me a tuktuk at a much more reasonable price) but paid for the extra day. Also managed to get a lift out of Chenek for a high but still reasonable cost.
The only saving grace was the scout I had who despite not being able to speak English, was extremely friendly, professional and great at spotting wildlife. As an avid hiker and have hiked in a few other African countries, I personally think there are far better and managed hiking spots in Africa (if you are looking to hike in the continent) and Simien Mountains is a 'good to see' only if you happen to be in Ethiopia.

Having arrived in Gondar in the midst of a religious ceremony, we discovered there was no accommodation available as all the hotels were fully booked. However, through word-of-mouth, we were introduced to Addis who came to our rescue! He immediately found us clean and comfortable accommodation right in the centre of town. He then very kindly provided us with a tour of the area which ended in a lovely coffee shop.
He is polite, professional and a pleasure to be around without any pressure and I would highly recommend booking with Addis Simien Mountain Trekking and Tours

We did the 3 day trek in the Simiens. The trip was well organized, food was good. Definitely not the luxury tour, but it had everything you needed at a reasonable price. The treks were fantastic and our guide Wurko was really good - scouting out Ethiopian wolves, ibex and herds of the gelada monkeys. It is really cold at night - bring warm layers. Also, the camps we stayed at all had road access, so you are able to bring your full pack and access you items after the day of trekking. I booked through Adis and everything went smoothly. adisgondar@gmail.com and WhatsApp+251962520160

Hi everybody! We are planing to do the full trek in the Simien Mountains (from Debark to Adi Arkay, through Ras Dejen) in October. We are not going on an organized group and unfortunately it seems to be quite difficult to get information on the days after Chennek, so we were hoping to get more information here.
Meals: Where can we buy meals on the way? Are there lodges after Chenek where we can get diner and breakfast? Are there villages on the way where we can buy basic supplies or food?
Water: We have a purification system, but is there running water in October along the trail? Besides Ambiko and Arkwasiye - is there water in all campsites?
Any information would be helpful!!

Hi! We will be visiting this area next year in January but will be staying in Gondar and will only have one day to drive to the park, do a hike and drive back to Gondar for overnight. Can you tell me if it is worth a visit for only one day? What can we see during this short time? I am trying to decide on doing this or we will have time to visit Awash National Park and spend one night there but we cannot do both. Having a hard time deciding which to do as I cannot find much information on what we will be able to see in a partial day visit to Simien National Park. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Gallo dear, yes if you don't have time it is better not to miss it, you will send hundreds of Gelada Monkeys and an amazing scenery Plus different kind of endemic Birds and pants, you can ask any kind of information, I am happy to answer you for it.
I'm planning a trip to the Simien Mountains for the end of Jan. i notice you were just there in early Jan. I was wondering whether the scenery was still green with flowers or whether it has started to turn brown since it is now the dry season.

I was there last week- not green at all. Very dusty and brown! There are some nice red flowers (apparently weeds) everywhere. I was on a tour with Intrepid and they organised our camping etc. It was all really well done.

Hi,
Is it worth it to do a trip longer than 4 days? Do we see much more on the 6/9 days than what's on the shorter trips or is it similar landscapes /animals just a bit longer?
Thanks
