10 Things to do Adventurous in Amhara Region That You Shouldn't Miss
Amhara (Amharic: አማራ) is one of the nine ethnic divisions (kililoch) of Ethiopia, containing the homeland of the Amhara people. Previously known as Region 3, its capital is Bahir Dar. Ethiopia's largest inland body of water, Lake Tana, which is the source of the Blue Nile river, is located within Amhara. The region also contains the Semien Mountains National Park, which includes Ras Dashan, the highest point in Ethiopia. Amhara is bordered by the state of Sudan to the west and northwest, and in other directions by other regions of Ethiopia: Tigray to the north, Afar to the east, Benishangul-Gumuz to the west and southwest, and Oromia to the south.

Simien Mountains National Park, in northern Ethiopia is a spectacular landscape, where massive erosion over millions of years has created jagged mountain peaks, deep valleys and sharp precipices dropping some 1,500 m. The park is of global significance for biodiversity conservation because it is home to globally threatened species, including the iconic Walia ibex, a wild mountain goat found nowhere else in the world, the Gelada baboon and the Ethiopian wolf.

We did a 3 day trek in the Simien mountains organised by a wonderful tour agent called Mensur. The trek was spectacular with views around every corner of every day. I highly recommend going to the Simien mountains even if you can only do 2 days. Included in the trek is a transfer from Gondar to the start and back afterwards, well organised tents, sleeping bags, mattresses already set up on arrival at camp, delicious food and plenty of water, very knowledgeable trek guide and prerequisite scouts. We met a group who tried to go without a tour company as this is advertised as possible on a noticeboard outside the simien mountains tourist info centre in Debark, but getting transport to the start and someone to transfer your bags between campsites was incredibly difficult without speaking the local language so they resorted to paying a tour agency. I highly recommend our tour agent Mensur. He was always only a whatsapp msg away to answer all our questions including whether transferring vehicles in a small village was correct. The amazing signal and data connectivity all over the country (even in the Simien mountains) with a local ethio telecom simcard helped ease our travels by being able to contact Mensur all along out trip. He also arranged a very good price for us because we booked both 3days Simien and 3days Danakil tour through him, so he transferred us via Aksum and Tigray for free, where we explored the sites briefly over the two days of traveling. Great deal and friendly, helpful, trustworthy agent! You can contact him as follows Email address:- [email protected] WhatsApp number:- +251975156015

Tazeb arranged everything perfectly and according to the schedule (very nice local family that hosts us @ nights, transpiration, food, cook, porter and a storage of bananas in is bag in case you need a boost of energy :). Tazeb is amazing person - hamble, honest, always smiling with good energy and willing to answer any question. He is highly familiar with the region, culture, local people, landscape and the animals along the trail. I Highly recommend to contact Tazeb via WhatsApp (+251 92 022 7325).
