Simien National Park

World Heritage

Ethiopia

🎧 Listen to Introduction

Over the years, the Ethiopian highlands have undergone massive erosion, creating one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, with jagged peaks, deep valleys and cliffs rising to 1,500 metres. The park is home to some of the most rare animals, such as gelada baboons, Simien foxes and the Walia ibex (a type of goat found nowhere else in the world).
