About
SimienEcoTours is an Ethiopian-owned operator based in Gondar, Amhara Region, specialising in birding and ecological tours across the country. Their flagship 13-day birding itinerary moves from lowland savannahs to afro-alpine highlands, covering Awash National Park, the Bale Mountains and the Simien Mountains, and targets Ethiopia's nearly fifty endemic and near-endemic species alongside more than 460 species in total.
Guides are fluent in English and Amharic, and the company markets itself as a small-group operator (4-10 participants) with a strong focus on the Ethiopian highlands and the cultural sites that overlap with the birding circuit.
