Ethiopia is a mesmerizing land of incredible adventures. From fantastic parks and amazing historical sites to breathtaking highs (Semien Mountains trekking) and astounding lows (Danakil Depression). The Danakil Depression features bright yellow and orange pools thus, it is called “hell on Earth”. It exhibits one of the most extreme climates found on the planet and what makes it more fascinating is that even here, life has found its way. The Simien Mountains is a mystical world of primordial forests, misty peaks, bizarre plants and exotic creatures like the walia ibex and gelada baboon. Trekking these highlands is like stepping into another universe of glory and immense beauty. Weather-wise in the Semien mountains, temperatures do not change significantly throughout the year. It is mostly “summer every day and winter every night” except in June to September when chances of rainfall is at its peak. The coldest months are October to December and between February and March, you are most likely to encounter short periods of rain everyday. From November to March, skies are clear and the sun is strong.
