Ethiopia

Ethiopia is one of Africa's most distinct trekking countries, with the Simien and Bale Mountains offering high plateaus, wildlife, and long mountain routes unlike East Africa's volcanic peaks. A sensible choice for travelers who want big landscapes and altitude with a different cultural setting from Kilimanjaro-style trekking.
