Simien Lodge sits on the edge of the Simien Mountains escarpment, among the highest hotels anywhere in Africa, offering dramatic views over one of Ethiopia’s most spectacular landscapes.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Stone-built tukul-style rooms with fireplaces, each with views over the surrounding highland plateau.
Food & Service
A well-regarded dining programme served with panoramic mountain views.
Activities
Guided treks across the Simien Mountains’ escarpment trails, tracking gelada baboon and, with luck, the endemic Ethiopian wolf.
Wildlife & Photography
The Simien Mountains hold the largest population of gelada baboon on Earth, alongside the endangered Walia ibex and endemic Ethiopian wolf.
A Photographer's Note
The escarpment’s sheer 1,000-metre drops give a dramatic backdrop for photographing gelada troops grazing at the cliff edge.
Conservation & Impact
The lodge supports Simien Mountains National Park’s conservation programmes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site protecting several endemic Ethiopian species.
