4Nights 5 Days trip

semen mountain

Dear Travelers,

We have good packages for you the roof of Africa Simien mountain

Day1:Gondar to Sankaber

 Morning drive to  Simien starting for Hiking Simien Lodge 3 hours walk to the first Camp sites

Day2:  sankaber to Chennek (3620 m).

This is a long but probably the most spectacular stage of the trekking, we hike 5-6 hours to cover 8 km, including a short. The majestic lammergeyer might soar the skies in front of you and the endemic thick billed raven will be present.  (Inataye reaching 4070 meter) and a deep valley. Chennek is the best place to spot the endemic and endangered walia ibex. Not seldom they walk into the camp. Overnight camping.

Day 3: Hike Chennek to Ambiko (3200 m).

Today is for sure the most challenging day. First we hike up the Bwahit Pass (4200 mand we can summit Bwahit (4430 m), the second highest peak after Ras Dashen. Later we will reach the bottom of the valley of the Mesheha River (2800 m) before we reach Ambiko. The 18 km we cover today will take at least 8 hours walking. Weather permitting we will be rewarded with the first glimpse of Ras Dashen (4533 m). Around Bwahit is an excellent area to find the Ethiopian wolf. Our chef will prepare another great meal with very limited means and like the other evenings we lit a campfire to keep us warm. But we will sleep early as we start tomorrow well before sunrise. Overnight camping.

Day 4: Hike Ambiko to Ras Dashen (4533m).

The roof of Ethiopia is the goal for the day. Ras Dashen (4533 m) is roughly a 6 hours/ 10 km away and it is all the way up to the top. The view from to top might not be as stunning as at other places in Simien Mountains, like Imet Gogo, but you made it! Yes! Walking back to Ambiko takes about 4 hours. Overnight camping.

Day 5:Hike Ambiko to Chiro Leba

drive (5 hrs) to Gondar.

On the last day in the majestic Simien Mountains we return to the small village Chiro Leba, the nearest place a vehicle can reach and drive back to Gondar.
