Home > Tours > NORTH ROUTE > Historic North and Simien Mountains 11 days

An ancient land of fertile well-watered mountains that form the main source of the Blue Nile, northern Ethiopia has long stood at the cultural crossroads of Africa, Arabia and the Mediterranean. These divergent influences have bequeathed the region a unique cultural and historical heritage.

Drive through the Simien Mountains and visit UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Sites, along with the other main highlights of the classic historical northern route, like Monasteries on Lake Tana, Castles of Gondar, breathtaking Simien Mountains, ancient Axum with the house of the Ark of the Covenant, rock-hewn churches of Tigray and Lalibela.

The two lodges in the area, Simien Lodge and Limalimo Lodge, offer great alternatives to the typical camping and trekking setup, meaning whatever your budget, fitness levels, or accommodation preferences.
