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.

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:

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...

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!

ETHIOPIA - GONDAR AND THE SIMIEN MOUNTAINS
Gondar region is famous for its castles, the Italian history and above all for the Simien mountains. It is also the home of the Falash-Muras, the Jews of Ethiopia. Debark is a lively village bordering the Simien National Park. To reach the top of the Simiens one must climb from about 3,500 m altitude to 4,000 meters, the Imet Gogo. The vegetation and the animals are quite astounding, especially the human-like Gelada baboons.

Ethiopia's extreme road: Axum to Simien Mountains
This is the road that joins Axum with the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia. One of the most strenuous and extreme roads in Africa. This highway (mostly unpaved) was constructed by the Italian and is being restored by the Chinese. It covers 250 km and it takes between 8-10 hours on a strong 4WD to reach the capital of the Semien Mountains (Debark).
