Top Gonder Day Trips

Spend the day in Simien Mountains National Park, trekking through the foothills and admiring scenery on this full-day tour from Gondar. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, including gelada baboons, bushbuck, rock hyrax, and, if you’re lucky, even leopards. Climb up to viewpoints that let you take in the sight of the towering Jinbar Waterfall. Hotel pickup is included for added convenience.

Begin your full-day Ethiopian trekking adventure from the old, once-capital city of Gondar. Get picked up from your hotel and drive two hours to Debark, the entrance of Simien Mountains National Park. Upon arrival, get all the formalities and permits figured and meet your guide and the national park scouts who will assist you throughout the day. Then, drive 13 miles to the first area of the park and the starting point of your hike. Begin trekking on a three-hour trail all the way up to Michibi, where you will see the endemic gelada baboon and many varieties of plants and birds. Enjoy the spectacular view of the Simien Mountains from above. End the wonderful day with drop-off to your hotel in Gondar.
