Trekking in the isolated splendors of Ethiopian High Lands
The Ethiopian highlands, blessed with a temperate climate and grand mountain scenery, offer superb trekking opportunities. Trekking in the remote isolated splendor of the Simien Mountains, the Bale Mountains, and the unique Surma is a breathtaking experience. Ethiopia is little known and little visited yet it is an amazing place to see. Ethiopia has a unique culture, complex history and some superb scenery - a wonderful experience for the truly adventurous traveler. It is not a stereotypical East African country: from the fertile highlands in the south through to the Simiens of the north, the landscape is extremely mountainous. Arguably, one of the most beautiful ranges in Africa are found here. Our trekking itineraries lead you through landscapes covered by deep gorges, jagged plugs, and striking rock towers. En route you will have the chance to climb some of Africa's highest peaks: Ras Dashen (4620m), Buyit Ras (3250m), Bwahit (4430m), Batu (4203), Konteh peak (4132). However, along the way there's plenty of time to admire the many endemic species of wildlife and flora, including the Gelada Baboon, Walia Ibex, Red Jackal and the, Mountain Nyala.
