ETHIOPIA MOUNTAIN CLIMBING

Welcome to Ethiopia Mountain Climbing

Great Opportunity For Adventure & Travels

Ethiopia Mountain Climbing experiences are sure to be on the list of every trekking enthusiast out there! Scenarios of climbing the Erta Ale volcano at the Danakil Depression, hiking the Simien Mountains, or dipping your toe and immersing yourselves in the highland communities of Lalibela come to mind. Those who prefer wandering unknown territories and challenging themselves up steep climbs will get their time’s worth when taking part in Ethiopia Mountain Climbing activities.
The Ras Dejen summit is located inside the premises of the Simien Mountains National Park. This is where you can indulge yourself in some great hiking opportunities where you’ll get to marvel at the incredibly rich flora and fauna. Moreover, the Bale Mountains National Park has mountain climbing prospects where you’ll trek through different and unique zones. This includes grasslands, plateaus, escarpments, and dense forests.

To the unfamiliar, trekking tours in the surrounding landscapes of Lalibela holds up a special place. You’ll get to admire renowned rock-carved churches while climbing up the Abune Yosef Mountain. Plus, welcoming initiations will be performed by the native highland people of the region at a traditional tukul house, a distinctive experience indeed!

Landing finally at the Danakil Depression, called the gateway to hell (don’t be frightened it’s just a saying) offers a great hike up the volcanic crater rim. You’ll get to camp on the rim of the crater too, where you’ll be able to see an active lava lake, perfect for those looking for an enthralling Ethiopia Mountain Climbing adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are too many different tours to list here, but here are a few examples. A 10-day mid-range private tour of the historical circuit starts at around US$3,500 per person. To visit the Danakil Depression as part of an 11-day tour costs around US$5,000 per person.

Ethiopia is not a good country for big game-viewing when compared with other safari destinations like Kenya. However, the country’s mountains are home to some very special and rare species including the Mountain Nyala, Ethiopian Wolf, Gelada Baboons, and the Walia Ibex.

Trousers are also fine (though few local women wear them except in Addis Ababa) but shorts or sleeveless tops are not really acceptable, especially in Islamic areas and rural settings. Men should generally wear long trousers and a shirt or T-shirt covering the shoulders.
