1. Simien Mountains National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,539 reviews
Simien Mountains National Park, 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. The park is of global significance for biodiversity conservation because it is home to globally threatened species, including the iconic Walia ibex, a wild mountain goat found nowhere else in the world, the Gelada baboon and the Ethiopian wolf.

We did a 3 day trek in the Simien mountains organised by a wonderful tour agent called Mensur. The trek was spectacular with views around every corner of every day. I highly recommend going to the Simien mountains even if you can only do 2 days. Included in the trek is a transfer from Gondar to the start and back afterwards, well organised tents, sleeping bags, mattresses already set up on arrival at camp, delicious food and plenty of water, very knowledgeable trek guide and prerequisite scouts. We met a group who tried to go without a tour company as this is advertised as possible on a noticeboard outside the simien mountains tourist info centre in Debark, but getting transport to the start and someone to transfer your bags between campsites was incredibly difficult without speaking the local language so they resorted to paying a tour agency. I highly recommend our tour agent Mensur. He was always only a whatsapp msg away to answer all our questions including whether transferring vehicles in a small village was correct. The amazing signal and data connectivity all over the country (even in the Simien mountains) with a local ethio telecom simcard helped ease our travels by being able to contact Mensur all along out trip. He also arranged a very good price for us because we booked both 3days Simien and 3days Danakil tour through him, so he transferred us via Aksum and Tigray for free, where we explored the sites briefly over the two days of traveling. Great deal and friendly, helpful, trustworthy agent! You can contact him as follows Email address:- [email protected] WhatsApp number:- +251975156015

Ethiopia is an exceptional country for bicycle tours. The climate is pleasant; the landscape varies from green rolling hills to dramatic mountains with impressive views…. But one of the greatest charms of Ethiopia are its friendly people and many small settlements of some scattered huts with playing children and cattle around them. What better way to experience all of this on 2 wheels!

The Dallo area displays some of the most spectacular examples of landscapes in the world. Located at 120m bsl, Danakil, one of the driest and tectonically active areas on earth, is an area of unique geological fascination, a remarkable lunar landscape with active Volcanoes, foul-smelling, sulphurous hot springs, solidified black lava flows and extensive saline basin is populated.Unforgettable!
6. Danakil Depression

The landscapes in the Danakil depression are just impressive. This tour leads you to see the sunrise on the geysers, and the sunset on the salted lake Assale, and to trek under the stars to the top of Erta Ale volcano, waiting for the sunrise near the crater. You can also float in salted water pool and observe camel caravans transporting salt blocks. I had to organise this trip last minute and Hafi Tours did a great job. Very swift and clear communication via WhatsApp. They picked me up at the airport in Mekele and arranged a 3-day and 2-night tour in the Danakil depression, including Erta Ale volcano. Everything was well very organised, including transport in 4x4 LandCruiser, camping equipment, drinking water and meals. Our driver was very kind. Really recommended!

My partner and me hiked across the Bale Mountains for 10 days and were so happy to be guided by Mohamed, best tour guide (also best arabic football commentator :D) EVER. He has so much knowledge about wildlife, you can easily tell his job is his passion. Also great birding knowledge. Don't really get some of the reviews here: Yeah, hiking can be exhausting and nature can be windy and cold or sunburn you. What do you expect? Wildlife will not come to visit you in a five star hotel, you have to go wild for it :). And Bale will reward you: We saw the wolves, even pups, eagles, vultures, a serval cat, nyalas, warthogs, antilopes, mole rats, bale vervets, colobus monkeys, baboons and millions of endemic birds and plants. Mohamed definitely knows the all secret spots and was always eager to avoid the crowded areas which we really appreciated. I will never forget our funny evenings at the camp fire and Obsenet Lodge! Dema dema dema... Galatomi for everything Mohamed. I'd give SIX stars if I could!

Bucket list stuff. Brace yourself for the super scary barefoot climb against the rock face- more mentally taxing than physically taxing though. The reward at the top is incredible. Unlike any other church in Tigray. Don’t do it if you have vertigo though.
