Additional Information
The dramatic skyline of peaks and jagged volcanic plugs which tower over the
highland plateaux of the Simien Mountains compete with rugged gorges and deep
gullies to form what is, arguably, the most awe-inspiring landscape in
Africa. As we trek through this distant mountain range we pass small hamlets
where villagers eke out an existence from the limited arable land. We may
come across large troops of Gelada baboons foraging on the escarpment; and,
with luck, spot Walia ibex and Ethiopian wolves.
