A pack of Gelada Baboons, a species found only in the Simien Mountains.
The park holds the highest mountain in Ethiopia; Ras Dashen which stands at 4535m. The high altitude of the ridge means the climate is quite cool allowing a number of species to live which are found no where else on earth. Some of these species include the Walia Ibex Ethiopian Wolf and gelada baboon.

Recently Paragliding and Base Jumping are activities that have been set up by myself along with the national park authorities. Email me for more information regarding these activities!

Hello there,
My name is David Winter and I am looking for a weeks advanced course in paragliding. I am an intermediate pilot having flown 50 or so flight and mastered the basic and intermediate skill. Currently I am based in Addis but have no gear of my own. I would like to hear what the possibilities are.
Kind regards,
