Simien Mountains 3 Day Hiking Trip DISASTER | Travel Vlog | Ethiopia
---
This travel vlog recounts my 3 Day Hiking/Trekking Trip to the Simien Mountains found in Northern Ethiopia. I travelled to the Simien Mountains from Bahir Dar, with a short stop in Gondar/Gonder to meet with Ethiopian Travel Tours. Please watch the video to see my experience in this trip! Overall, I have no regrets as I had a great time with the people that I met in the journey. If you have any questions regarding the details of the tour, feel free to leave a comment down below! Maybe next time, I will get a chance to hike up to Ras Dashen!

In November 2017, I went to Ethiopia with my sister. The first part of our trip was an amazing week-long trek in the Simien mountains, camping every night. I love hiking, I love mountains, and the Simien was definitely one of the most impressive place I've been!

Ethopia 2017 12 Trek in the Simien Mountains
imien Mountains National Park, located 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.
Located in the Simien (North) Gondar Zone of the Amhara Region, its territory covers the Simien Mountains and includes Ras Dashan, the highest point in Ethiopia. It is home to a number of endangered species, including the Ethiopian wolf and the walia ibex, a wild goat found nowhere else in the world. The gelada baboon and the caracal, a cat, also occur within the Simien Mountains. More than 50 species of birds inhabit the park.
Simien Mountain & Fasilides Castle | Gondar Ethiopia - I got so sick!
We visited Simien Mountain and Emperor Fasilides Castle in Gondar Ethiopia. When I say what i sight, I truly mean WHAT A SIGHT! It was the most gorgeous hike I'd ever been on. I'm a city girl from New York I never knew such beauty existed. However I also got really sick, honestly it could have been the milk, the fish, the african massage, the khat...who knows??? But still I wouldn't change a thing!

Hiking Simien Mountains National Park - Amhara, Ethiopia Part 2
Day 2 in Northern Ethiopia, Day 4 in Ethiopia all together. Drove up from medieval walled city of Gondar to Debark then into the Simien National Park. Over 4,000 meters above sea level so I'm weezy and also without bug repellant. None of that could wipe the smile off my face because of Ethiopia's unrestrained beauty. Shot entirely on my iPhone X.

Ethiopia - Part Two - The Simien Mountains
Ethiopia (Part Two) The Simien Mountains
It's easy to arrange tours at Gondar or arrange your own trip at Debark. Costs and guides vary so do you research well - it pays to go in a larger group to keep your costs down and to haggle hard. We did a four day trek, with the altitude it's not easy, but it is extremely rewarding and the guides and cooks are brilliant.
We went with guide Dawoud Sulayman - - who we'd recommend.
The Music is actually West African - it's called Ai Du by Ali Farka Toure - but I guess you get what you pay for in life... and this video's a freebie...

The Grand Canyon of Ethiopia! The Simien Mountains National Park in Northern Ethiopia is an exotic setting with unique wildlife and breath-taking views on a landscape shaped by nature and traditional agriculture. The natural beauties of this region have always filled visitors from Ethiopia and abroad with awe. Gentle highland ridges at altitudes above 3600 meters above sea level (m asl), covered with grasses, isolated trees (Erica &bored) and the bizarre Giant Lobelia (Lobelia rhynchopetalum) are found on the high plateau that ends abruptly at 1000- to 2000-m deep escarpments.
The margins of this high plateau consist of precipitous cliffs and deep, canyon-style gorges. In some places, the escarpment forms small elevations that offer splendid natal lookout points. The spectacular views from the observation points at Gidir Got and lmet Gogo in the center of the Park offer unparalleled panoramas along the high plateau and down to the lowland areas. Given the right meteorological conditions, views reaching up to a hundred kilometers over the valleys and the terraces of the Tekeze lowland basin are no exception. Geologically speaking, the entire highlands of the Simien mountains consist of dark Trapp basalt and bright, soft turf. They alternate and constitute a massive complex that is more than 3000 m thick. This complex was formed by volcanic eruptions in the Tertiary Oligocene-Miocene Age some 20-30 million years ago; ever since, it has been going through processes of uplifting and erosion.
The main attraction of the Simien Moumains National Park is its biosphere: the steep cliffs and the cool climate at the altitude of the Erica tree line (3600 to 4000 m ash) have created conditions that are appropriate for the survival of an ibex species (Capra ibex wee) endemic to the Simien Mountains. Despite the severe restriction of their habitat over the last centuries, several hundred animals have survived up to the present. Apart from the Walya ibex, many other animal species are found in the Park, for example the endemic Simien fox or Ethiopian wolf (Canis .071817,51-3 simony’s), several birds of prey, the endemic Gelada baboon ( Theropithecusgelada), the Klippspringer (Oreotragus omotragus), and the bush buck (liagelphus scriptus). The rareness of these species formed the backbone of the concept for conservation of the area, which led to the establishment of the Simien Mountains National Park in 1969. Simien mountain national park the Frist park national in Ethiopia.
simien mountain established in 1966 and 1978 the world heritage site in Ethiopia.
The human population living in the area adds to the distinctiveness of this special natural environment. The traditional lifestyle of the rural population and their survival in a rather harsh climate and with scarce natural resources make for the most striking impressions a visitor will have when trekking in the Park and its surrounding rural area.

An eight day trek through the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia
Read the blog of this trek at:
The Simien Mountains are situated in the remote northern hinterland of Ethiopia and are the eroded remains of an enormous supervolcano which formed 30 million years ago. The north western part of the volcano has been heavily eroded by the tributaries of the Tekeze River, resulting in a 1,000m high escarpment. Below this dramatic escarpment the landscape has been eroded into towering buttes and mesas, volcanic pinnacles, gaping gorges and gullies. The Greek poet, Homer, fancifully imagined these landforms to be ‘The chess set of the Gods’.
Climbing the Simien Mountains | Ethiopia One
Come with Grace and me as we take our first ever trip to Ethiopia, starting in the Simien Mountains. Get a tour of our accommodations at the Mountain Lodge and get up close and personal with some Gelada baboons. This is part 1 of a 4-part travel vlog of our week in Ethiopia.
*Explanation for Grace’s comment about it being 2011 in Ethiopia:
Ethiopia follows a unique calendar system influenced by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church where there are 13 months in a year. According to this calendar, the year is 2011 in Ethiopia (until September of 2019 when it will change to 2012). This calendar system also influences the way locals tell time. Read more here:
