Wearing warm socks next to a crackling fire, drinking hot tea… unpacking a wool sweater… in Africa? Yes! And it’s worth it. Ethiopia offers fascinating, unique and incredibly beautiful mountain ranges, which are often beyond altitudes of 3000 metres. Up here it can get chilly at night. But have no fear; the equatorial sun warms up the cool of the evenings in the morning.
Breathtaking panoramas, red mountain ranges, waterfalls that cascade over escarpments hundreds of metres down, and unique African mountain foliage in the highlands: hiking in Ethiopia is an unforgettable experience. Be it extended treks or short day trips, a range of opportunities are available.
In particular, the two highest mountain ranges, the Simien and Bale Mountains, are popular among hiking fanatics. Both are national parks and the Simien Mountains have been declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Fantastic views are founds one after the other.
In addition, beyond the mighty mountains and plateaus more scenic jewels and gardens of paradise can be found nearly everywhere. Browse the following pages to find your perfect destination. We’ll take care of everything else!
