Hike Africa's 4th highest mountain and explore the historical sites of Lalibela and Gondar. Mule trekking is the way to get around much of the Simien National Park, as the terrain is challenging. Views over the valleys and mountains from some high-lying vantage points are awe-inspiring.

We also operate in the Himalayas as well as South America.

Walking in Africa, particularly in game-rich areas is truly rewarding. Coming face to face with a lion on foot really gets the adrenaline going!

Medical Precautions
Malaria Prophylaxis Recommendations
Both chloroquine resistant and normal strains of malaria are prevalent in Africa. Malaria is transmitted by some female Anopheles mosquitoes, which are active in the early evening and throughout the night usually when one is sleeping or sitting around campfires in the evening. Expert opinion differs regarding the best approach to malaria prophylaxis. It is important to bear in mind that malaria may be contracted despite chemoprophylaxis, especially in areas where chloroquine resistance has been reported. Please remember that the best insurance against contracting malaria is to try to prevent oneself from being bitten, so use mosquito repellents liberally. Wear long-sleeved shirts and trousers/slacks in the evenings. If staying in a bungalow/tent, spray with an insecticide like DOOM to kill any mosquitoes that may have flown into your room. Mosquito coils are also effective. If you become ill on your return, while still on prophylaxis or even once you have stopped, make sure that your doctor does everything necessary to establish that your illness is not malaria. Malaria is not a serious problem if people are sensible and take basic precautions. We do not have camps in any densely populated areas, and this greatly reduces the risk of being infected by malaria. We have had very few cases of guests contracting malaria during the 10 years we have been operating.
Yellow fever innoculation
Yellow Fever inoculations are necessary. This must be done no later than 10 days prior to departure. Proof of innoculation will be requested upon arrival in the country and on return home.
