SIMIEN LODGE

HIGHEST LODGE

Stay in Africa’s highest lodge, perched at a lofty 3,300 metres just inside the entrance to Simien Mountains National Park.

Rooms are in round, thatched-roofed huts or tukuls, traditionally styled and thoughtfully appointed with solar-powered underfloor heating for those crisp mountain nights. Stay here on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia, and you’ll find yourself within striking distance of the best trekking opportunities – including the famous climb to Mt. Dashen. Mountain bikes are on hand for guest use, as well as camping gear.

Some of the park’s wildlife can be found nowhere else on earth. As you explore, keep an eye out for Walia ibex, hyenas, tawny eagles, gelada baboons and the elusive Simien wolf. History buffs can also check out the ancient monastery of Saddique Amba, clinging precariously onto a sheer cliff, and discover the centuries-old Deresge Maryam church. Retire after an absorbing day to Simien’s warm and inviting bar, the highest place to get a drink in Africa!

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by 91ºÚÁÏÍø – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with 91ºÚÁÏÍø – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
