Trekking
Enjoy the splendor of the Simiens whilst trekking across the high plateaus, up its peaks or along the riverbeds of the lowlands whilst taking in the flora and fauna of the mountains. Treks in the Simien Mountains range from half-day in the Limalimo area to 10-day adventures further into the National Park.
Let us book your trek for you: We can arrange a knowledgeable guide and transport if required, for longer overnight treks you will have a full support crew and camp out under the stars with campfires in the evenings. Camping equipment, meals and luggage transport will be provided. For younger guests, mules can be available to use during the treks. Where at all possible, treks should be booked at least 3 weeks in advance so we can ensure that we can hire the best available support crew. Feel free to email us for details: reservations@limalimolodge.com.
Champagne breakfasts
Champagne breakfasts: Enjoy a luxury romantic breakfast in the morning sun with some of the best views in the world. We will lay a beautiful table in a secluded spot and provide a freshly prepared breakfast served with champagne.
Or maybe a luxury outdoor lunch? Enjoy a freshly cooked lunch outside, at a beautifully set table a short walk away from the lodge with delicious food and a spectacular view.
Village visit
Guests are invited to visit Limalimo village, situated a 45-minute walk from the lodge. A visit to our neighbouring community will allow you to experience aspects of daily life in a rural Ethiopian village such as the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, local cuisine, beer making, farming, and beekeeping.
Through such visits we aim to closely involve the local community in Limalimo Lodge so that they can realise benefits directly from Limalimo Lodge and its guests.
