We organize day hikes in the Bale Mountains and Simien Mountains National Parks, as well as extended walking safaris in the Lasta Massif. These treks provide excellent opportunities to spot endemic species and rare plants in their natural habitats.

For the adventurous hiker, the Simien Mountains are a must-see. For an even greater challenge, consider the trek to Abune Yosef, one of Ethiopia’s highest peaks at 4,260 meters. This strenuous hike offers spectacular views, remote mountain churches, and diverse wildlife.
