Experience Overview

Ethiopia's highlands have earned it the nickname ‘the Roof of Africa,’ and our trekking tours take you deep into that dramatic terrain. The Simien Mountains' jagged escarpments plunge more than a kilometer into the valleys below, home to Gelada baboons and the endemic Walia ibex, found nowhere else on Earth. Further south, the Bale Mountains harbor Africa's largest population of Ethiopian wolves across high-altitude moorland. And in Tigray, the sheer cliffs of the Gheralta mountains combine trekking with a spiritual pilgrimage to ancient cliffside churches. Whatever your pace, these highlands reward every step.
