Simien Mountains Trekking: 15 Routes Compared

19 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.9 average  ·  from $164

The escarpment gives you gelada troops at arm’s length, Walia ibex on the cliffs and camps at 3,600 metres. These 15 treks start in Debark with the compulsory scout; the difference between them is how many nights you spend above Sankaber and whether mules carry your kit.
