Thanks for the well selected hotels. It enhanced our overall experience. The restaurants were also good,but could have been better. Our tour manager Mr Fentay was very helpful.

    We only had one day for the Simien Mountains, but wow… it was worth it. The views are just crazy beautiful, and seeing the gelada monkeys so close was a highlight. It didn’t feel rushed either—we had enough time to walk around, take photos, and just enjoy the place.

    We did a day trip to the Simien Mountains as a family, and it turned out better than we expected. The views are just incredible, and even the kids enjoyed spotting the gelada monkeys. It was a nice balance—not too tiring but still enough to feel like a real adventure. Everything was well organized, so we could just relax and enjoy the day together.

    We went on a day trip to the Simien Mountains National Park with friends, and it was amazing. The scenery is breathtaking—cliffs, valleys, and gelada monkeys everywhere! It was a great way to spend a day outdoors without feeling rushed, and the pace was perfect for our group.

The local market is open every day, and every Wednesday and Saturday is the big market day. From Debark town, we will drive to the park gate, which is about 16km from the town. Then, we are heading about 10km to Sankaber camp, which is the first camping site in the national park. From Sankaber camp, we will trek for about 3 hours. You will trek along the edge with stunning views over the foothills 800m below. You will most certainly encounter troops of the endemic gelada baboons and see them up-close. Jinba waterfalls, an incredible 500m sheer drop, the longest fall in Ethiopia. we get back to the main road Kavamesk) where the car stops to drive us to Gondar

    Sankaber

    The 20-minute walk from the roadside to the lookout across the chasm to Jinbar Waterfall is well worth taking. The views are vertiginous and they're at their best in the rainy season when water cascades down a sheer cliff across the other side of the valley. Sankaber is the first campsite on most Simien treks, and is a wonderful introduction to the park. The drive from Debark (the entrance town to the Simien Mountains) concludes at Buit Ras near the Simien Lodge. From here, you will begin the trek to Sankaber camp. The route from Buit Ras to Sankaber is relatively mild and works well as an acclimatization hike, although there are some steeper ascents as you are climbing to around 3200 metres. Sankaber is surrounded by Giant Heath trees (Erica Arboreal) and escarpment edges. The camp is situated on the escarpment edge and has stunning views. Gelada Monkeys often play on the grounds here, and there are a few great viewpoints around the camp that you can explore as you get acclimatised.

    Duration 120 minutes

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
