Simien mountains trek

A crazy adventure in the Simien Mountains in northern Ethiopia!

The Simien Mountains are stunning mountains located in northern Ethiopia and are considered one of the most impressive natural sites in the country. Dramatic landscapes of steep peaks, huge cliffs, green valleys, and a wide variety of animals such as the rare Ethiopian wolf, gelada baboons, and the Walia ibex. After receiving quite a few recommendations from community members who traveled with Bukta, a guide at the tour company Simien view,
together with them we created a Mzungu community benefit that will lower the cost of one of the most special trips in Ethiopia for you!

Price list for community members

• 2-3 travelers - $240 per person.
• 4+ travelers - $200 per person.

Benefit Terms of Use:

Disclaimer:

In order to maintain the activity in Mzungu, we collect a commission from businesses for each use of the benefit. Collecting commissions allows us to maintain the project, develop it, and try to create more and more value for travelers going on a trip to Africa.

 

Usage:

The benefit is for a single person. You must present the coupon to the business on your mobile phone screen. If you are traveling with several people, we ask that each person present their own benefit coupon to the business so that we can track the number of travelers who used the coupon they downloaded. We ask not to forward the coupon as a file to travelers on WhatsApp because it harms our ability to continue accurately collecting commissions from the business and affects our ability to maintain and improve the community.

 

Restrictions:

The minimum number of people for the trip is 2.
