  • Ethiopia, Simien Mountains. I travelled to the north of Ethiopia on the border of Tigray and was blown away by the beauty of this country! I have done many tracks in my time but this was one of the best! We went with 2 guides who were armed for safety reasons but the trek was safe, we also came across the incredible Gelada baboon.

    U r very brave person man. I can imagen that at good times it would be very good adventure. But from your videos i learn a lot.as ethiopian we must work very very hard to keep torists confert and make it easy. For weak people it is almost impossible to visit and enjoy such peautiful places. But the toilet part makes me laugh all night also makes me sade. But thay gave u all thay got.
