Why the Simien Mountains are Africa’s most underrated trekking destination
After guiding many travelers in Ethiopia, I still believe the Simien Mountains are one of the most underrated trekking destinations in the world.
You can experience:
huge mountain cliffs
wildlife found nowhere else
real camping experiences
local culture
fewer tourists than Kilimanjaro or Nepal
Most travelers are surprised by how beautiful and peaceful the mountains are.
If anyone is planning a trip to Ethiopia, I’m happy to share trekking advice and route suggestions.
